Trialling RIOT resample software

[LewisM]

Hopefully, get better JPEG resamples that fit IIS upload size parameters :)

Let's see - original 3MB png converted to Catmull-Rom resampled jpeg. M8 of course:

[LewisM]

YEAH! That worked. And it's free software. Old news I am sure, but for anyone without it: http://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/

Nice work, Lewis:thumbsup:

[LewisM]

You've seen that one before Laurie - it's the software compression tool that I was showing :) Works MARVELLOUSLY!

[Larryp]

I remember it Lewis. And the compression tool does work very well. You seem to have a handle on image processing too!

[LewisM]

OK, extreme resample - original image is 35 MB. Resample is 460 KB.

Fingers crossed :) (NGC 3372 Eta Carinae Complex)

[LewisM]

Yup, I like this software! Still HIGH quality, at appropriate size. :thumbsup:

[Larryp]

Works VERY well, Lewis

[LewisM]

Thanks Laurie, but maybe just the VERY start on the grip of that handle! LONG LONG LONG way to go, though am happy with my progress over this past 8 months (that's as long as I have been imaging now, with a 2.5 month hiatus thanks to QLD's atrocious weather over January, February and March)

Looks good Lewis. Have you got the Vix mount setup with the Synscan yet?

[LewisM]

That'd be NO Matt - still nothing from Tasco. Getting to the stage of taking it back for a refund and purchasing O/S. VERY frustrating.

RIOT is built into the IrfanView save for web tool.

Steve from Astro-Shop told me there would not be any more EQ5 Synscan kits until May. That influenced me to buy a GPD2 with it already fitted
