Hopefully, you downloaded CLI version because you know what you are
doing. If you don't understand what are these files for and can not
run StarNet you probably need to download another version.





The announcement is on cloudynights.com, so you might want to
ask for help there if you face any problems:

A couple of important points:

1. The output is not guaranteed to have the same profile as the
   original, so the colours might appear different. If this happens,
   all you need is to just open the image in the software of choice
   and restore the profile.
   
2. This version will sometime leave patterns around small stars.
   It is often prominent with low noise images. If you face this,
   you might want to upsample your image (2x for example) and these
   artefacts will go away.

Dependencies. The code depends on C API of Tensorflow and libtiff.

    http://www.libtiff.org/
    https://www.tensorflow.org/install/lang_c

Make sure that tensorflow.dll, tiff.dll and starnet_weights.pb
are in the same directory as starnet++.exe or somewhere in $PATH
