... Another way to get solid cores is to allow the filter peak to scale above 1.0 and then clip it. I think this is closer to the way detectors saturate. I've...

... I use a combination of Gaussian and exponential profiles. The Gaussian, clipped at 1.0, gives the core look, but the exponential provides the wings. I...
... now. ;^) ... My code for this is object-oriented, so designing a plug-in style architecture for components like star profiles isn't that difficult. ...
