Lecture and PixInsight workshop at CEDIC 2011 by Vicent Peris

Hello all,

this is to announce that I will be giving a two hour PixInsight workshop at CEDIC 2011. I will give also a lecture about my professional work at the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Valencia and at Calar Alto Observatory. CEDIC is the first international astro-imaging conference in Europe, and will take place on March 18th and 20th. Information about CEDIC can be found here:

http://cedic.at/

Workshop program will include:

- PixInsight working philosophy and user inteface introduction.
- Image processing with PixInsight:
     - High dynamic range image composition with the HDRComposition tool.
     - Non-linear transformations of the image (histograms, curves...).
     - Dynamic range compression with the HDRWaveletTransform tool.
     - Color calibration.


More information and updates will be posted here and at CEDIC website. Stay tuned.

Best regards,
Vicent.

I had the pleasure of meeting Vicent at NEAIC this past week. I attended both his talk at NEAIC and his 3 hour workshop and, although I've been using PI software for a while now, was thoroughly pleased with his presentations. I learned a good deal and also had the chance to see version 1.7 in action. I can wholeheartedly recommend that any chance to see Vicent at any PI workshop will be an excellent experience. Thanks Vicent, I appreciate the time and effort you put into this for us.

I also got to meet (and have sushi with!) Vicent at NEAIC, and it was great. I saw a lot of people who were Photoshop die-hards begin to see just how powerful PI can be. I have a lot to learn still myself, and the workshops definitely opened my eyes to some new functionality.

If you can go, go!

Hi!

Thank you very much for your comments! I really appreciate them, as I put a lot of effort into this meeting. I hope I was able to communicate my understanding about astrophotography in a logical manner. IMHO, a logical construction of the image processing makes PixInsight much better to manage and understand. I also think that coming to a live workshop is, in several aspects, more effective than any other kind of tutorial.


Thanks again,
Vicent.

Vicent was definitely one of the rock-stars at the show this year!

I think that PixInsight is sending "wave"-lets through the community :-)

Well I wasn't there but judging from the feedback, enhorabuena for the presentation!

Maybe one day you'll show your face on the west coast? We've got darker skies and better sushi

I've been to NEAIC only once even though it's only an hour or so away. The problem is they plan it on a spring break weekend which is when I, well, take a spring break vacation with my family. Bummer.
