New Mask-Making Tools in PixInsight | 2025-08-17

Masks are like stencils for deep-sky image processing, allowing us to “paint” selected areas of our photos while protecting others. StarMask, Starnet, and RangeSelector – PixInsight’s standard maskmaking tools – work well for many applications. But there are new tools available that give you virtually unlimited ways to select the portions of the image you want to change or protect. In this update to his May 2023 presentation, Dr. Ron Brecher will show you how to install and use some of the newest tools for making masks. He’ll also show you how some PixInsight processes and scripts designed to do other things can also help you make the perfect mask. Ron is an avid backyard astronomer with more than 25 years of experience. His photos and articles are regularly featured in print and online magazines, journals, CD covers, calendars and more. Ron writes for astronomy publications in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. He is a PixInsight Ambassador, and is the Technical Reviewer for both editions of the highly acclaimed reference text, Inside PixInsight. He is a Contributing Editor for Sky & Telescope magazine. Write to Ron at [email protected] to arrange for one-on-one online tutoring and support, including equipment and software setup, troubleshooting and image processing with PixInsight. You’ll also find Ron’s tutorials and workshop at mastersofpixinsight.com. Ron images from his home in Guelph, Ontario where he and his wife Gail live with a dog and a cat, and all the wildlife around their country home. In “real life,” Ron holds a PhD and is a board-certified toxicologist with nearly 40 years’ experience in risk assessment and risk communication. To round things out, Ron plays guitar and lead vocals in the “The Exceptions” and “The Slivercreeks.” Ron's website: https://astrodoc.ca/ Masters of PixInsight: https://www.mastersofpixinsight.com/ URL for SetiAstro's scripts: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/set...
