software to subtract darks and flats

Besides IRIS and IP, is there another software which can subtract darks and flats? i find IRIS is quite hard to use even reading the online tutorial.

thanks

Good question Eric, I am in that boat too. I know Images Plus will do it, (evidently), and I can't work IRIS, my French is poor. I understand MaxDSLR will only do FITS files, which is OK, until you shoot a heap of them and at 46mb each, they make the poor computer groan.

Hi Eric,

I use Registax to create darks and flats and it automatically applies them. Its very easy to use.

Eric:

Iris isnt all that hard..check out the tutorials on Jim Solomon's site

(google will find it)-his atrophotography cookbook

IRIS is clunky yes but it will do what you need it to do..and the price is right
