Star Size Reduction and Removal in PI

Description

This is a test of star size reduction and removal using the TGVInpaint tool in PI. The tool is not part of the official distribution yet and is not available for OSX users. It can be found by searching the PI websites forum for TGVInpaint.

This image was taken with my 45mm lens. All work on the stars were done before stretching while the image was still linear. Star masks were made from the linear images not stretched images. Other then the use of TGVInpaint both images had the same exact processing.
