PixInsight 1.5: Prerelease Information

[mmirot]

I really look forword to trying it out.
Maybe I can come up with some examples later after I try1.5


It looks like the goal is to have full set of modules for calibration and preprocessing.
I certainly have some ideas along these lines. One module could be devoted just to reviewing and rejecting subframes.


I have used most major programs out there.  Some work better than others.
I have confidence that Team Pixinsight will end up at the head of the rest.

Hello all,

More improvements for PI 1.5:

It is damn complex because we need to scale all wavelet layers and their parameters, to adapt the whole process to a possibly downsampled real-time image, so that the result looks as close as possible to what will be obtained on the actual image. It's working well now, but still needs some work. Time to get some sleep!

[Jack Harvey]

Wow, Now that is exciting and will expedite the use of wavelets adjustments to no end!!!

Last-minute news. PI 1.5 supports SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) generation and rendering, from both the PCL and PJSR development frameworks.

SVG seems to be working flawlessly now. If you want to see an example, point your Firefox/Safari/Opera browser here (sorry, I don't know if MSIE supports SVG) to see a SVG rendition generated with a modified version of Andrés&David's 3DPlot script:

With Firefox it's very nice because it seems polygon generation in real time.

So PI 1.5 opens the door to vector graphics in PixInsight  8)

No SVG in IE8...

[Juan Conejero]

No SVG in IE8...

... because SVG is an open standard, perhaps?

Hey Guys - give Juan a break 

In fact I did get an email from him, and I am sure that he won't mind me quoting from it . . .

Indeed I'm having some nightmares to finish 1.5, and it's true that sleep is a luxury that I hardly can afford these days. Definitely I'm going to need a good rest once I release this one...

and

(I) *must* release 1.5 *this* weekend, or otherwise (I) will get into serious trouble, including wife-related troubles

Personally, I can wait ( but not for TOO long  )

Cheers,

[ManoloL]

Hola Juan:

La salud es lo primero y dormir un tiempo prudente es esencial para mantenerla.
Si la "cosa" no puede ser esta semana pues será la siguiente.
Pero no debías habernos puesto los dientes tan largos..........
mira luego lo que pasa.........

Saludos.

Gracias Juan por mantener al día este fantástico programa. Estoy particularmente esperanzado por el módulo de homogeneización del fondo así como de calibraod del color.

Dentro de las mejoras que introduce la nueva versión no he observado que se hubiera incluido alguas herramientas digamosle que "de edición". Acuérdate de lo del Cut&paste, el poder incluir un cuadro de texto sobre la foto o incluso poder dibujar sobre ella objetos simples como una flecha ara poder destacar la posición de algún objeto. También estaría de lujo el poder incluir un compás para señalar el norte-este en la foto (el dato del cual lo podria obtener de la información que "esconde" el fit). Bueno, no dejan de ser pequeñas chorradas que para los que han entrado en la "secta cometera" agradecerían.

Un saludo y disculpa no haber puesto este mensaje en el apartado de peticiones.

I only can say (with Niall permision):

Hey Guys - give Juan a break 

but also:

Personally, I can wait ( but not for TOO long  )

Juan, mi consejo si me permites darlo: pon una raya ya. No incluyas más potencialidades en la v 1.5, las que nos has comentado son ya tremendas. Toma tu tiempo para acabar la v 1.5 y, por prescripción facultativa, luego tómate un descanso !!!!!

Juan, mi advice if you allow me: stop. Do not add more features to v 1.5. The ones that you already told us are impresive. Take your time to finish v 1.5 , and once finished, take a big rest!!!!!!

Saludos/ Regards
Jordi

[Jack Harvey]

Juan I agree with Jordi,

Juan, mi advice if you allow me: stop. Do not add more features to v 1.5. The ones that you already told us are impresive. Take your time to finish v 1.5 , and once finished, take a big rest!!!!!!

  You have a diamond in the rough, finish the final polish later, AFTER a good rest!

[Juan Conejero]

Hi guys,

Thank you all for your nice words and support. I'm working hard but don't worry, I'm well and the work is being made well too. Everything is working now except the ports to Windows and Mac OSX. The latter is a bit complicated, but just a routinary task, compared to the rest.

If there are no further problems (I see no reason), version 1.5 should be published within Monday/Tuesday. Sorry, I couldn't publish it this week... so I ought you one beer --although I'd recommend a good Spanish wine, of course .

[ManoloL]

Hola Juan:
En la comida de hoy me tomaré un par de vasitos de Rioja a tu salud.
Muchas gracias por tus esfuerzos.
Saludos.
