You may need to also check your settings in DSS to ensure it's correct for your camera. Also ensure you're using the latest version (3.3.4 at least).

Thanks Chris. I've moved the luminance and saturation tabs all over the place, and really can't seem to improve the image there either. I am using DSS 3.2.2 via wineskin, and I'm not sure if that may be causing the problem, but other Mac users seem to be OK running it through wineskin.
Is there a setting that you use to indicate what camera your using? I can't find that under any of the menus.

I find that sometimes I need to close and restart DSS to give it a clean slate or weird things happen. Also use the correct version of DSS, or try the latest beta if there is one.

Hi Brent, tried doing that too. I'll look on the web for a newer version of DSS. I've just upgraded my memory to 16GB, so I'm hoping that may improve things - at least I'll get my terrible stacking results a lot quicker!

Hi Marc,
What do you mean by the black point being clipped?
Thanks for your input. As you can see, its all a bit of a mystery to me, and I'm really just tweaking the buttons trying to improve the image without really understanding what I'm doing. At least its forcing me to do a lot of reading and learning about DSLR's, histograms, colour spaces etc..
Thanks
Luke
