Brighten the stars - meetdilip - 01-19-2021
Hi, when I changed the colours using colorize, the stars on the left because dull and dim. Is there any method to make them bright and sharp ?

At the moment nothing better or more practical comes to mind, I believe that other users will have better and simpler ideas.
Here my attempt was:
1- I duplicated the layer.
2- I applied Levels Colors-Levels ...: Here the adjustment is personal, to taste. I wasn't thorough, I used 170 - 0.34 - 255
3- Colors - Color to Alpha - Black selected.
4- Colors - Hue-Saturation ... - Here the adjustment is also personal. I think I changed only Hue to 180.
5- I created a mask to make only the left side of the image visible, leaving the right side unchanged.

Use a luminosity mask to exclude them from the Colorize operation?

I am not sure how to use Luminosity mask. Will try to find it. Thanks
@Krikor Thanks, I will try

While I am still to learn how to do this properly, I found this video on Luminosity mask very helpful. I was able to isolate the bright area using Luminosity mask

The image below results from the use of ofn-luminosity-masks.
The black background (separate layer) was used for contrast only.

With the result obtained it is possible to make adjustments directly on the original image.

Great !!
Where can I find the " ofn-luminosity-masks " plugin ?
Wondering which software was used to make that wallpaper. Blender ? How can we make repeating patterns with quality like that ?

In the same 'Bat local': https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-tools/files/scripts/
Reading about the plugin can be found here:
