Vertical Banding tool in PI?
« on: 2013 February 05 16:34:40 »
My bias files are getting a little dated and am having some vertical banding problems on some recent images.  I looked around at the processes and scripts but didn't see anything that looked like a fix.  Is there something in PI that fixes vertical banding?

I was also curious about the PI documentation.  When I click the documentation button for many processes I end up with a blank page saying no documentation is available.  Where's the best place to get the documentation for some of the process and scripts that I have no clue about?  Now that I'm a full fledged owner of PI I'd like to sit down and go over all the features of PI.

TIA

Fred

well you can rotate your frame 90 degrees and try the canonbandingreduction script...

Yes, I was just going to recommend that. Use Image:Geometry:Rotate 90 degrees, then use CanonBandingReduction, then rotate back. It has worked wonders for me, though I use CCDOps for my SBIG STL now, just deal with it at the source.

As for documentation, well, the full docs are indeed not fully ready yet. You'll find that when processes are documented in PI, they are documented insanely well: http://pixinsight.com/doc/tools/ImageIntegration/ImageIntegration.html

However, not every process has full documentation like this. Instead, the hover-over tooltips within processes often give a LOT of great info.

Thanks for the info.  I was mainly looking for docs relating to things like deconvolution, and the various wavelet type filters.  I'll give the 90 deg rotate a try.
