astro imaging processing software - whats your flavour

[h0ughy (David)]

Astroart 4, images plus 2.80 or IRIS what do you use or more to the point which is the better one?

[RB (Andrew)]

I use Images Plus, Registar, Photoshop.

But I'd love to learn how to use IRIS too.

[sheeny (Al)]

I voted for Registax since that's what I use most often, but I also use K3 for processing. I have also played with Registar and Deep sky Stacker and Iris, but have done nothing serious with them.

I'd like to learn to use Iris as well... I started learning with the tutorials on the Deep Sky Survey website, but haven't kept it up.

I have just bought astroart, but I do own Images Plus , oh and I take it as standard the people have a copy of Photoshop or equivalent....

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

I capture with:

normal mode - 'Philips V-lounge'
long exposure mode - 'Desire'

I stack & process with: 'Registax'

I post-process with: 'Paintshop Pro 6' and 'Loreal' and occasionally 'Neat Image 5.1'

Then convert everything to JPEG for posting

[Striker (Tony)]

Imagesplus.

You cant get any thing easier then that.

undecided, cant get colour oin deepsky stacker, cant work out iris, cant afford imagesplus LOL... Might go back to stacking in photoshop....

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

For what little I've done - I use Registax and the GIMP rather than Photoshop.

IRIS

cant beat the price

[Ric]

MaximDL mainly but I also use Registax, PixInsight and Iris.
I also have Paintshop Pro V5 which is a bit old now.

cheers

Ditto. A very powerful combination.
