Don't be fooled by StarTools' simple interface - you are forgiven if, at first glance, you get the impression StarTools offers only the basics. Nothing could be further from the truth!

The Mask feature is an integral part of StarTools. Many modules use a mask to operate on specific pixels and parts of the image, leaving other parts intact.

In StarTools, Histogram Transformation Curves are considered obsolete. AutoDev uses image analysis to achieve better results in a more intuitive way.

The Band module reduces horizontal and vertical banding/striping, often caused by read noise.

The Bin module puts you in control over the trade-off between resolution, resolved detail and noise.

Thanks to StarTools' Tracking feature the Color module provides you with unparalleled flexibility when it comes to colour presentation in your image.

The Contrast module optimizes local dynamic range allocation, resulting in better contrast, reducing glare and bringing out faint detail.

StarTools' Deconvolution module allows for recovering detail in seeing-limited data sets that were affected by atmospheric turbulence.

The De-Noise module offers detail-aware, astro-specific noise reduction, which, paired with StarTools' Tracking feature, yields results that have no equal.

The Develop module was created from the ground up as an alternative the classic Digital Development algorithm that attempts to emulate classic film response when first developing a raw stacked image.

The Filter module allows for the modification of features in the image by their colour by simply clicking on them. It's as close to a post-capture colour filter wheel as you can get.

The Fractal Flux module allows for fully automated analysis and subsequent processing of astronomical images of DSOs.

The HDR module optimises local dynamic range, in order to bring the maximum amount of detail that is hidden in your data.

The Heal module was created to provide a means of substituting unwanted pixels in an neutral way.

The Layer module is an extremely flexible pixel workbench for advanced image manipulation and pixel math, complementing StarTools' other modules.

The Lens module was created to digitally correct for lens distortions and some types of chromatic aberration in the more affordable lens systems, mirror systems and eyepieces.

The Life module brings back 'life' into an image by remodelling uniform light diffraction, helping larger scale structures such as nebulae and galaxies stand out and (re)take center stage.

The Magic module allows you to modify the appearance of stars in your image. It allows you to shrink stars, tighten stars and better color stars.

The Repair module attempts to detect and automatically repair stars that have been affected by optical or guiding aberrations.

StarTools' Detail-aware Wavelet Sharpening allows you to bring out faint structural detail in your images.

The Synth module generates physically correct diffraction and diffusion of starlight, based on a virtual telescope model.

The Wipe module detects, models and removes any source of unwanted light bias.
