I managed to correct my problem by resaving the .PNG's through IrfanView.  I seem to recall another user having a similar problem long ago and the only solution was to resave the files through the same application.  It looks usable now.  I'll play with it.

Good to hear. You're probably referring to NikKelly... anyway their your textures now so do whatever you like with them. I just like doing these kind of exercises to get away from the tedium of other projects, not render related per se, that drag on and on. I don't think they're very good as Starry textures, I would do it completely different after the fact honestly, but maybe usable for some other scifi type stuff. Didn't mean for this to turn into a hijack or version/renderer bashing session. To each their own.

As an unrelated topic I just got the latest version of Marmoset Toolbag (4) and am really digging it... so eventually some PBR map experiments. Great piece of software, and very reasonable to both rent or own outright. You should check it out.

Happy rendering.
