Sorry, guys. Didn't realize there was any recent activity. Well, the restore stars stage is SUPPOSED to just take the really dark areas and anything slightly nearby and return that area back to its original state. I'll take a look at the script, but it will take some time to get these going again on my new machine.
In the mean time, maybe I could just take a look at what DJ is doing to avoid this artifact. Wanna post it? I'll let you know if it's a good idea or not.
