Image processing order.

[Corries]

I'm very new to PixInsight.  With respect to the following processes:

  Alignment and Integration
  Image Calibration
  RGB Channel Combination
  DBE, Colour Calibration
  Histogram Transformation
  LRBG Combination

What would be the best order to do these processes?

Many thanks.

1 Calibration
2 Alignment and integration
3 RGB combo
3 DBE on L and RGB
4 Colour calibration on RGB
5 Histogram stretch on L and RGB
6 LRGB combine

Thanks Geoff,

That's a great help.

Yeah, some people DBE their R, G, and B channels separately, but as it was pointed out to me, the RGB data really comprise one image, not three, and DBE handles the multicolor gradients gracefully.

josh it's true but the DBE sample parameters may not be "one-size fits all" enough if the gradient brightness in the channels differ too much. that's the reason to do it separately.

Good point, good point.

Rob and Josh,

I too find that doing a DBE to each channel prior to combining works better for me.
