converting fit files

[AdrianF (Adrian)]

Is there an easy way to convert fit to jpeg files?
I used ivanview last night to convert some files I had and all of the files became 0 bytes in size.

ImageMagick should do it. From some error reports it might need the -normalize switch:

convert -normalize your.fits your.jpg

Adrian,

IRIS will do it for you.

File -> Load your FITS file. Then, File -> Save As, select JPG, et voila.

I think the only thing you'll need to do first, though, is go into Files -> Settings, and change from the proprietary PIC to FITS format.
