The script is quite short, here it is:
------------------start---------------------
#!/bin/sh
mkdir red green blue
for i in *.bmp; do
echo $i
base=`basename $i .bmp`
new=$base.ppm
red=$base.red
green=$base.grn
blue=$base.blu
# Convert a.bmp to a.ppm
bmptoppm < $i > $new
# create a.red, a.grn and a.blu
ppmtorgb3 $new
# convert each one back to BMP and write to subdirectory
ppmtobmp -bpp 8 < $red > red/${base}.bmp
ppmtobmp -bpp 8 < $green > green/${base}.bmp
ppmtobmp -bpp 8 < $blue > blue/${base}.bmp
# clean up, remove intermediate files
rm -f $red $green $blue $new
done
-------------------end---------------------
It creates 3 subdirs (red,green,blue). For every file XXX.bmp it creates red/XXX.bmp blue/XXX.bmp and green/XXX.bmp as monochrome files.
What else... yes I used wavelets in registax, but fairly gentle, so that the images weren't overly processed. I think I stacked about 500 frames each time and set the wavelets to about 10 in the middle layers, left the lower and upper layers alone.
The maximum filter doesn't take any parameters... I assume that it uses a 3x3 or 5x5 filter size, and sets the centre to the largest value.
for ME I used 10 turns at 1.5. I also experimented with LR deconvolution, that might actually be what I used in the last image - 10 turns at 1.5 again.
DP: Yes, you can get the package for Windows. I think that's what Mike has done.
