Why is the startup of the program so slow ?
I use PyInstaller to create executables from my Python
scripts. This tool basically creates a bundle with python, required dependencies, my scripts and
model weights. When it runs, it needs to unpackage everything , which takes time.
How can I perform batch star removal?
Checkout the simple shell
script from the project's repo. Since Starrem2k13 is a command-line utility,
it can be used in many different ways.
