Hi,

I want to look at my raw images, especially to evaluate my dark frames, from my Canon DSLR (1000D) but PixInsight insists on debayering them and creating colour images.  Is there a way to open them simply as grey scale images?

Thanks,
Richard Sewards

Format Explorer option.
Double-click on DSLR_RAW and the RAW Format Preferences dialog box opens.
Choose: Create RAW Bayer CFA Image with no black point correction.
