Star alignment help - error message
« on: 2015 November 05 14:36:53 »
Hi all,

I am having difficulties using the Staralignment process. I have added the files and chosen an output directory but when I click the "apply" button, there is a message that reads: "Couldn't execute Staralignment instance: there is no active image window".

I have aligned images using this process before and it has worked fine so I am not sure what I am doing wrong this time. I would appreciate if someone could lend me a hand.

Thanks in advanced!
Sebastian

when working with a list of files, you need to click the "global apply" (the round button) rather than the square. the square would be used to register an image opened on the desktop (the one in the foreground with a blue title). it's complaining because there are apparently no views it can find to apply on...
