Processing Challenge - PI Guru Required
« on: 2017 February 22 09:24:53 »
As powerful as PI is, I'm struggling to find a way to get the background in this image flat and even. The image has a radial greenish tinge. I've played with automatic background extractor, dynamic background extractor, background neutralisation. I'm at a loss with PI on this. I've spent hours watching PI tutorials and replicating those workflows in regards to backgrounds without success on this image.

I would like a PI guru to inspect this image and possibly change remove the radial gradient seen in this background and then let me know what he / she did or what I'm doing wrong.

Any takers? The more the merrier.

Is the image stretched in any way? Background extraction is best done on linear images.

Can you provide a link to the stacked, but otherwise unprocessed copy of this image?

Cheers,
Wim
