How do I keep FITS files in native numerical range?

[Nocturnal]

Hi,

when I load a 16bit integer FITS file I really don't want it converted to 0-1 float. How do I prevent this from happening? Statistics in particular are more meaningful in their native scale, IMO. I have fiddled with the FITS parameters but haven't found something that works. Setting the default scale to 0-65535 doesn't seem to affect anything.

Hi Sander

Images are loaded in the native numerical range, nothing is changed. Internally, however, the use of templates changes them to the normalized range, so that's the output the Statistics objects show (both the process, as implemented, and the ImageStatistics class).

The Statistics process used to have output values at a user selected range... don't know why it does not now. Anyway, implementing a script that makes the traslation should be quite easy for you guys (I can get the javascript language... I'm a c++ boy ). Of course, a process is quite easy too
