Comments and Suggestions highly appreciated!


A verbatim Repository link in your post would help. I'm getting a failure.

Done!!

You have to lead the dumb and the blind. I fall under both of those categories. I'm running PixInsight Core 1.8.9-3 Ripley (x64) (build 1612 | 2024-06-25) and the repository did not work. Installed it manually and it worked. I also use your NBtoRGBstars and love it. Looking forward to trying this one.

Zoom out with the mouse wheel

Thanks! FYI, that's VERY hard to control for those of us who use a trackpad instead of a mouse.

Nice job on this script. Works significantly better than CloneStamp.

i dont have a way of checking trackpad functionality.  I will have to get some zoom buttons or something working.

Thanks Frank!  
Great tool.  It has worked for all my use cases (except 1, and that one is a disaster :-)  )!
Thanks again, keep churning out the tools!

I am running build 1612, and have your repository included in my Update Repository.  If I look at the Installed Updates Blemish Blaster shows as having been installed today.  However, the Script does not appear under Script > SetiAstro.  Halo-B-Gone does not appear there either.  When I check for updates I get  Updates Available??

That's exactly what I proposed to the PixInsight Team through email. Something better than clone stamp and much like the Healing tools of Photoshop. They never ever answered me but You @Franklin Marek just made it.
Thank you very much.. You should add the free form adaptive like the PS healing toosl, the patch one. It really helps in smaller things or corners or very dificult areas, etc. It would be a plus.
That tool was the main reason that made me go out of the Pix enviroment and now I don't think I need.

Thank you for this super handy script.

Regards,

Cesar

go to Scripts->Feature Scripts->Add, navigate to c://program files/pixinsight/src/scripts.  Click Select Folder.  It will relook through all tge scripts it downloaded and install any it missed in the update

The removal works quite nicely - thank you for your script. one issue, one suggestion:

issue: the script does not only remove spots, it also changes the normalization of the image (median), at least for linear images. It would be nice if the processed image would be identical to the non processed except the removed spots.

suggestion: a feature that you can reposition the selected area would be nice!

thanks for your very cool scripts

thanks for the feedback.  I will have to look at the math for the stf.  The process stretches the linear to nonlinear, then you operate, then it reverses the stretch.  So something has to be a bit off with that.

I can add some functionality to move the circles.  Right now just rightclick to remove it and draw again

Great!
Just works for me.  I tried on an image with complex structures with some residual Oiii star halos and they were really easy to remove.  I would recommend people try a few settings and sizes to get the best results, like don't go it too tight, but all in all a winner.

Thank you for some real useful tools.

Is this really necessary? And if yes, is your stretch function invertible?

It seems to work if you have a mono image, but for RGB something seems to be off.

yes it is necessary.  It is functionally reversable.  There must be something different in it for color images since mono 100% reverses

Thanks for the script. I tried it out on a particularly bad blemish from a thread on my CCD chip (now cleaned). It worked well but required 5-6 executions on the same area for best results. Would an iterations button be possible for bad blemishes be useful?
thanks again

Did you lower the opacity and iterate it multiple times like that?  With opacity set to 1 it completely replaces the pixel in the non feathered areas.  You can always shoot me an email ( [email][email protected][/email] ) with your particularly bad blemish image and how you corrected it and that may help guide an iteration implementation
