erm, things have gone a bit sideways ...
« on: 2017 August 11 10:13:18 »
Hi,

I have recently upgraded to the latest version of PI on a Window 10 laptop. I am using a DSLR.  The new features are brilliant. Amazing stuff!  So now to the issue, I decide to reprocess some recent images to see if I can get better results with PCC etc. etc.  I process the calibration frames, all good. Next onto the lights.  When doing an Image Calibration I see messages about "Incompatible Image Geometry".  My brain goes into overdrive, cos this is weird, the faulty images are in the middle of a stack of 19 images.  I open the faulty images and they are all in "Portrait".  How does that happen?  This has happened on different image sets.  I did a rotation and tried to save the files as .CR2, but could only save as "XISF"  etc.  Will this file extension change have an impact on the resultant image?

Most likely I have done something wrong, but how to fix it...

check the DSLR_RAW setting to make sure it is set to "pure raw"... it may have been reset. alternately provide the input hint "raw cfa" in the first process that touches the CR2.

you can't save as CR2 as it is a proprietary format and no one has written open source tools to write CR2, to my knowledge.

Thanks pfile, you were on the money!! I reset the DSLR_RAW and re-done an ImageCalibration and everything turned out fine.
