The Tools, accessible via the icons along the left edge, allow you to adjust how you see the image displayed in the viewport and to fine tune effects. You can use these tools to set the portion of the image that is displayed in the Viewport (pan) and its magnification (zoom) level. The tools also allow you to exercise individual control over the effects that will be applied to the image. See the Tools section for a complete description of these tools and their uses.
The Preview Viewport, the left part of the Main Dialog, shows you what your image and effects will look like with the settings you have chosen. See the Preview Viewport section for more detail.
The settings all along the right side are what you will use to control the effects. Change the settings of the sliders (or enter values in the edit boxes) until your image looks just the way you want in the Preview Viewport, then press the [ OK ] button. See the Settings section for more info on just how to use these settings.
These controls, when present, can be used to govern when and how a star analysis will be performed. See the Highlight Analysis section of this manual to learn what these controls do and when they will be visible in the Main Dialog.
These Main Dialog controls provide you with ways to configure your preferences for plug-in operation or to get more information about the plug-in. See the Control And Information section of this manual to learn what these controls do and when they will be visible in the Main Dialog.
