Sure. These caps were by SilverWook for msycamore's THX 1138 thread. (Unfortunately most of those are gone now due to ImageShack's recent renovation. This selection is from what I saved of that, years ago.) I skipped DeHalo_alpha's default values and went directly to my tweaks. This shot wasn't particularly halo'ed but I moved the magnification to include the cable that was:

I'm rather impressed that DeHalo_alpha handled the halo'ed cable without touching un-halo'ed areas; for example, the eyelashes.

This shot needed script adjustments (different from the 1st, and more severely halo'ed, shot):

[for less dark strength that improperly lightened the cable]
from: v1_fix = v1_fix.DeHalo_alpha( ry=1.0, darkstr=1.5, brightstr=1.5 )
to:     v1_fix = v1_fix.DeHalo_alpha( ry=1.0, darkstr=0.4, brightstr=1.5 )

[for lesser contrast fix -- cross-checked dark & light areas w/ eyedropper]
from: v1_fix = v1_fix.Levels( 24, 1.1, 248, 0, 255, coring=false )
to:     v1_fix = v1_fix.Levels( 8, 1.1, 255, 0, 255, coring=false )

[zoom adjusted for different location -- used multiple crop()'s for ease]
