Harry's video tutorials
« on: 2009 May 17 14:09:44 »
Hi all

I have made some tutorial videos aimed at beginners! :D
I have felt that newbie's are sometimes put off by the supposed complexity of pixinsight , so I have made them as simple as I can ;) and relatively short, kind of bitesize.

I am sure the experts among you may do things differently and if you find any mayor problems with these let me know  ( I can take it  :P)
but as I said complex and full of tricks they are not meant to be , these can be learnt later if desired.

I am sorry for the voice but I was born with it :D

The video capture software I use does not capture everything correctly  ,mainely being that it does not pick up cursor changes correctly I hope this does not
spoil your viewing pleasure to much.

Regards Harry

Hi Fellow Pixies

I have found that my old website had become a bit of a mare to maintain as I did not have a clue what I was doing when I wrote it  :yell:

So I Have updated it after learning a bit of Dreamweaver ( If you write websites for a living you must be mad  ;D) , hopefully its a bit tidier now  8)

This Means unfortunately that a lot of old links do not work now  :'(  sorry about this , but does mean I can add more stuff more easily  :D

So Pixinsight home is now http://harrysastroshed.com/pixinsight/pixinsight%20video%20html/Pixinsighthome.html   , bit long I know I will see what I can do about that

Please let me know if anything has broke , but after 6 weeks off work I have gone web blind

Kind Regards

Harry  ( may 2014 )

Hi Houghy

Thanks for the support

If they are of help to people I was going to do a few more

Like
1) HDR wavlets
2) Colour correction
3) Noise reduction
4) Masked colour saturation stretch
5) Dynamic alignment and L rgb combination

Or is there something else people struggle with  ( I am talking newbie's here so do not ask for Atrouswavlet transform !!!!!!!!! >:D)

Regards Harry

Do the new color correction tools.
I find the color calibration dialogue a bit complex.
All are helpful

Thanks Harry

It's an excellent idea. I'm still searching for process for my exposures and I'll be glad to see some 'PixInsight for Dummies'.

Hi Gents

Did I not say I am sorry  ( you forget to say things )

Just pick the sample with your mouse and use the keyboard del  (delete) key

Harry
