Hi Dave,
Should I assume that since nobody else has chimed in here that there is no solution to my problem?
Not at all. "No solution" is something that doesn't exist here.
The first thing we have to do is identifying the problem. This requires a simplified test. Please do the following:
1. From the Start menu, select:
All Programs > PixInsight Platform > Reset PixInsight Settings. Answer yes to the question "Are you sure...". Now we have reset the whole set of PixInsight settings.
2. Start the PixInsight Core application.
3. Select
Image > New from the main menu.
4. On the NewImage tool window, select the following parameters:
- Identifier: RGB
- Sample format: 32-bit floating point
- Color space: RGB color.
- Width, height and channels with their default values: 256, 256 and 3, respectively.
- Initial values: R=0.4, G=0.25, B=0.6
Click the blue circular button to apply globally, or press F6. Now we have a "RGB" image filled with a constant value (a violet color).
5. On the NewImage tool window again, select:
- Identifier: L
- Color space: Grayscale.
- Initial values: K=0.7
Leave the rest of parameters unchanged. Apply globally and you have an "L" grayscale image filled with constant gray value (70% gray).
6. Launch the LRGBCombination tool. Select:
- L = "L"
- R, G and B disabled (unchecked).
Leave the rest of parameters unchanged. Apply this instance to the "RGB" image we have created in step 4 above.
7. Now place the mouse cursor over the RGB image. You should read the following pixel values:
R= 0.77297
G = 0.59561
B = 0.98378
If you read these values, then everything is working correctly. Otherwise, we have a problem and we'll have to work to find it.
