GIMP TUTORIAL FREE
The image is now free of the star blemish – but you may have a bunch of them to remove, rather than one. If any "new stars" have popped up inside the lasso, you can either use a smaller lasso to heal them away, or else manually replace them with "sky background." There is some risk involved whenever replacing pixels with artificially synthesized pixels, and it's up to you to spot any errors. The GIMP Resynthesizer uses the pixels immediately outside the lasso to guess what should be inside it. Sorry about that.Īn issue that sometimes comes up is generation of "fake stars" inside the lasso.
Please note that excessively large or very small selections can crash the plugin, and I’m not sure that there is any work-around. The default values will work for removal of most star blemishes. With the blemish selected, go to Filters -> Enhance -> Heal selection, which is the Resynthesizer plugin. It is better to draw a larger outline than to draw it too small, which can leave a circular halo behind. Connect the yellow dot at the end to close the loop. Choose the Free Select tool from the GIMP toolbar (it looks like a lasso) and draw an outline around the blemish. Next, open the starless image in GIMP to remove the star blemish using the Resynthesizer. It also has a nasty blemish where the bright star sat in the original image. The result with this particular image is missing many of the background galaxies, which were mistaken for stars. Run the image through Starnet++ v2 to obtain a starless image. I’ll show the final result from the end of this tutorial just to clarify the goals: all of the tiny galaxies are present, and there are no ugly blemishes from bright stars. Note that there is an obnoxiously bright star, and it suffers from blue bloat (since I used my 11 year old Baader filters, which are not the best). The image is an LRGB composite, and it is already fully stretched. This tutorial will focus on galaxy images that have faint background objects. The goal is to remove all the stars and leave only galaxies (or nebulosity) for further processing. The test image for this tutorial is a small section of sky in the constellation Lacerta that has many bright stars with small background galaxies. The first step is to prepare a 16-bit, color TIFF image and save it to your working directory. You will also need Starnet++ v2 by Nikita Misiyura, which I will trust you to locate and download. ***If anyone finds a better way to download/install it, please post in the thread below.*** This page provides some instructions for Windows. Installing the plugin involves copying files into the right folders in GIMP. (I have not validated that it is free of malware – so scan for viruses). I believe the latest version can be found on Github here.
GIMP TUTORIAL INSTALL
These tutorials are not so easy to write up.***īefore getting started, you will need a fairly recent version of GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), and you will want to download and install the Resynthesizer plugin, which can be tricky to locate. ***If you find any of the steps unclear, please let me know. Some background galaxies were mistaken for stars and removed Brighter stars left ugly blemishes on the starless imageĢ.
GIMP TUTORIAL SOFTWARE
The software used is entirely free (GIMP, GIMP resynthesizer, and Starnet++ by Nikita Misiura).ġ. This tutorial is aimed to help beginners generate starless images, either as a final result or as a step within a workflow.
