Alan,
At first blush it might appear
that this works, but there is really no way you can make a new layer (just a
copy of the first image that sits on top of it) and MOVE it in any direction
without impacting the integrity of the original image. Ron even admits that more
than a very minor shift will impact the image... it's my observation that ANY
movement is noticeable in something like a 16 X 20 enlargement... a lot is
hidden in the 72 dpi resolution of a monitor... when you go to print, the stars
might be better, but the sharpness of the image will be compromised... I have a
better idea that someone like Matt can wrestle with... first select all the
stars, then paste them to a transparent layer... NOW shift that layer... the
stars will improve but everything else will be unaffected. This will work but
shifting everything won't. As an aside, this technique has been well known on
the APML for quite some time, but I never thought of first selecting the stars
and pasting them to a tranparent layer...
Have a Great
Holiday,
Tony
