My Best Jupiter's Yet with LPI

[MiniMakMan]

Wow! They are awesome images Adam! I always look forward to seeing your pics, you've done a terrific job!
P.S The 12 months were certainly worth it

Thanks MiniMakMan (can I call you Mini, for short?) I appreciate your comments - say hello to MissesMakMan or is that MakWoman?. I hope you're putting your order in for some astrogoodies when MakMan makes the trip to the big smoke!


Oh, and by the way - welcome to IIS!

(Impersonating iceman) How did you hear about IIS, MiniMakMan?

Great work Adam, I think the extra processing was worth it.

Can you tell us more about the vb application you wrote? What are its inputs and what is the output?

Hi Mike, thanks for your comments.

Can you tell us more about the vb application you wrote?

I couldn't get Netpbm tools to run on my PC so I wrote a little VB app to split bitmaps into separate colour channels.

The interface is simple - just select the folder where the bitmaps reside and RGBSplit will split each 24 bit colour bitmap in that directory into three files (one for each colour) and write them back to the same directory with the postfix R_, G_, or B_ and the original filename.

Being a Visual Basic app it is a bit slow, but I found if I just do the best colour images (eg 100) it is quick enough for my purposes.

Sounds great, I think it'll be a good alternative for people that can't get netpbm tools working, or don't want to split using aviraw first.

It might be better to write the R/G/B to 3 separate directories "red", "green", "blue", as that way they're easier to drag and drop into registax.

How long did it take to do (for example) 100 bmp's?

Can you send it to me to try out please?

Mike, I've emailed you.
