If you "de-mosaic" a .fit in Neb then export that new .fit as a 16bit/color TIFF, all goes well and you finish up with a colour TIFF from SW.
Does that all make sense? I actually don't think it's too unreasonable that SW doesn't like a bayered TIFF, as long as there is a warning in the manual.p

Ok, I think I understand. I'll make a mention in the manual, but really, as far as I can tell, I can't find any such thing as a 'bayered TIFF' in the official TIFF specs. To StarWipe, it just looks like a big grayscale image, which it doesn't support (it only supports 48-bit RGB 16-bit-per channel TIFFs).

A small user-input: It appears that there is now a longer pause (~45 seconds) in SW before it prints the first "calculating ..." comment. This tends to make new users think it might have locked up or such. Is it possible to move the comment timing to immediately follow the option list print, so you know the machine is doing something?

Good suggestion. I didn't realize the pause would be that long for some people. The pause is longer because I bumped up the algorithm quality settings, but, yeah, it's a bit slower...
Thanks for the suggestions & sleuthing!
