.... I bought Pixinsight in a moment of weakness. I started it up, looked at the interface and my left eye started twitching and mouse hand started shaking. I may even have had a few palpitations!! What ARE all these strange buttons, processes, options and three letter acronyms??!!! Aaaaargh!!! I'm going to need therapy I think.
So why did a hard core PS / CCDStack man buy it? For its star registration which seems to be best in class (and includes ability to deform - better than Registar), and it's "DBE"-ing (gradient removal) capability - also best in class. I tried both of these at a rudimentary level (there are 1,000 options to choose from) and they worked well. I may also try it's calibration capabilities after my first therapy session. No, it
won't be supplanting my beloved (and easy to use) PS for post processing - that's a bridge too far!
