Cuiv, I've managed to launch GraXpert process (under linux). The problem is hardcoded lowercase executable name in plugin. It searches 'graxpert' in PATH not 'GraXpert', so I've just created symlink 'graxpert' pointing to actual GraXpert executable (in one of directories from PATH). It looks not obvious why they've not added executable selection settings (like in script).

Note that BXT and GraXpert support GPUs using different approaches. BXT can be configured to run on Windows under CUDA. From the GraXpert 3.0 docs, we have the following: For gpu acceleration during denoising, please note: on Windows, we rely on DirectML which requires a DirectX 12 compatible graphics card. On Linux, we rely on CUDA 12 and libcudnn8. On macOS, we rely on CoreML.

I agree with you Quive, Graxpert is a close runner up. I think graxpert came out above with the sunflower nebula. But, you nailed it by calling out the higher contrast with Xterminator in the other two images. I think it is 6 in one hand and 1/2 dozen in the other. I have both, as an early adopter to blurX and NoiseX. As well as topaz dinoise. It’s all close call in all respects. At this stage in the game though, It looks like BlurX/NoiseX is going to have to step up the game if they still want to charge the $$$…. Thanks for a great review. As always great job, from one gijin to another✌️

I disagree - denoising (and deconvolution) and painful and tedious processes that can murder your image, and I don't feel any closer to the images because I spent hours denoising and yet the image is now a mottled mess... Or manually creating star masks, ugh... I think those AI tools are incredible and when well built (like the RC Astro tools or Graxpert) they are just part of the flow.

Highly disagree. Who's taking the hours of subs in the first place? Who's stretching the image?

Where does one download GraXpert All-In-One?
