Hi all,
A new version of the standard ColorCalibration module is now available for all supported platforms. This version includes the new LinearFit tool, a robust, high-precision calibration tool that performs a linear fit to match mean background and signal levels between two images.
For a detailed description of the LinearFit tool and its applications, see the corresponding thread on the Release Information forum board.
1. Installation FilesColorCalibration Module2. Installation InstructionsAll platforms. If you have one or more instances of the PixInsight Core application running, terminate all of them.
FreeBSD and Linux. Download the tarball (for example, with wget) for your machine architecture, uncompress it and copy the resulting -pxm.so file to your bin installation directory. For example, assuming you've installed PixInsight on a 'PixInsight' directory under your home directory:
cd ~
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
wget http://pixinsight.com/download/modules/20100910/ColorCalibration-bsd-x86_64.20100910.tar.gz
tar -xzf ColorCalibration-bsd-x86_64.20100910.tar.gz
cp -f ColorCalibration-pxm.so ~/PixInsight/binWindows. Download the compressed file (a standard zip file) for your architecture (x86 or x86_64), uncompress it, and copy the resulting -pxm.dll file to your bin installation folder. If you haven't changed it during installation, your bin installation folder is C:\PCL\bin (c:\PCL64\bin for 64-bit versions). Replace the old ColorCalibration-pxm.dll file.
Mac OS X. Download and uncompress the zip file for your architecture (x86 or x86_64). This will create an 'ColorCalibration-pxm.dylib' file. Locate the PixInsight.app application bundle with Finder. Normally, you should have it on your standard /Applications folder, although PixInsight.app can be executed from an arbitrary location. Right-click on PixInsight.app and select 'Show Package Contents'. Now open the Contents/MacOS folder and copy the new 'ColorCalibration-pxm.dylib' file there, replacing the existing file.
Hope you like it. Enjoy!
