I havent tried flat lights yet.

I Stack them all in Deep Sky Stacker and do my primary processing there. (At this stage its still a TIFF)

I then save the image, exit DSS and reopen the image with photoshop and have a bit of a play with it there and crop it to size and save again.

Next, I open it with Corel Paint Shop Pro 9 to frame and put text on the image. Save once more.

Next, I open the image with windows picture and fax viewer and save as a JPG.

Finally, I resize the image with powertoys for windows XP image resizer.

EASY!!

When saving in deep sky stacker, it exports as Tiff right? Does yours also save as a very dull image when you open it? No detail at all if you open it normally, but the detail is able to be brought out ?
