So this might just not be the best way to process stuff; but I loaded my sets of 20sec and 120sec exposures at once. All from different sessions as well. So how should I go about selecting the flats for the various sessions? Or should I just calibrate per session first as I do in PI..
In addition to this, I already have master flats etc, how should I use those in the workflow? These are for the different sessions, but I’m not seeing an option in which I can say they are already calibrated and for a certain set of images.
Ok, feature request! :) I would like to be able to load all my lights at once, select from the list those of 1 day and to that add the flats (which is then indicated in the list), and then to do that for all days which need seperate frames. I’d like to have a checkmark that tells APP if the frames are already masters and for all this it would be very handy to be able to shift-click and select multiples at ones in the list, as that doesn’t work in my OSX version.
Hi @vincent, please start a topic for this so everyone can finfd this more easily in the future… Or @mth75 can move this to a new topic? (I don’t know how to this yet…)
If you have different calibration files for different lights, it’s best to calibrate those frames with the corresponding masters first and save them.
After calibration you can load all calibrated frames and stack them in one go.
Regarding the calirbation frames that you have, these are probably created in PI and will not be good for APP. PI doesn’t use the whole sensor for calirbation of your data. APP does. So you have two options, calibrate your data in PI and then proceed with your calirbated frames in APP. OR manually adjust the dimensions of your calirbation masters so they match the whole sensor. Which can be done using the batch modify tool.
And i really think, you are going to quick here ;-) APP can create master frames and will show you that they are masters when you load them ;-)
Probably it’s more constructive for me and the beta group if you start with a simple situation so you become aware of the possibilities. And I’ll work on the manual off course.
Well, it wasn’t complicated either right, just what someone could easily be doing when processing older data. Would APP be able to see automatically that the calibration frames are of a format that might cause trouble? I think something of a notice would be nice as noone has ever had experience with something other than dcraw processed files. I’ll take the calibrated lights and go further with those.
I think Marc will move this in due time.. no idea either how to do that. :)
