As I have said before on IIS, I have been film astroimaging for over
50yrs, so I am mortified to be stuck in a never ending nightmare
called image processing. All the time I stuck to single image,high ISO
JPEGs and did a little tweaking in PS, everything went along pretty much
o.k. Then I opened a Pandora's box called raw, and everything fell in a screaming heap.
Firstly, my comp won't open raw[cr2] images. Got round that.
Second, I put 6 x 30sec subs into DSS, registered and stacked them,
and all I got was a strip of one sub 25mm wide by 125mm high on
the screen, and it had lost all colour.
Third, when saving results in DSS, it sends the image to my documents
o.k. but they are in a file format my comp can't open. It says the files
are a compressed TIFF type that it can't open. When I found a file
opening program on the net, lo and behold, all the results were monochrome.
Fourthly, I set the file type in DSS to raw, and import the subs, but
nothing happens when I try to import the darks; they just sit there
and jeer at me. Why is it that DSS and Neatimage can handle raw
images, but Windows can't.
I actually have more problems, but I figure that's enough to be going
on with. HELP!!!
