How Does SHO-AIP Work?

[dgbarar]

Hi,

I would like to start using SHO-AIP to develop blends for narrow band images.  So far I am unable to get any image at all.  Here is what I have attempted:

1) Open an SII, Ha, and an OIII image.  Each of these images are in the linear state
2) Open SHO-AIP.
3) In the image selection section of SHO-AIP assign the each of the narrow band images to SII, Ha, OIII.
4) Under mixing options select Auto-STF.
5) Under the layer to combine section use the sliders to select the weighting for each of the R, G, B channels.

After doing this I have selected either New Image or OK.  But all I ever get is blace in the preview window and a black new image.  I have even used STF on the new image, but it is still black and nothing seems to be there.  I have attached a screenshot.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello

You have new version :  http://www.felopaul.com/software.htm
You have help (in french sorry) :  http://pixinsight.fr/mixshonrvb.html

but to mix  linear SHO  you need to check  "Backg Auto Egualise"  and "Auto STF"

If you want make an SHO  you use the buton "MIXING SHONRGB"
if you want to do a "Super Light"  with 2 chanel like i do , you need to use "Create L with 2 or 3 master"

If you have another question.

Hi,

OK.  I needed to select "MIX SHONRVB".  I tried that and got a new image.  Excellent.  Please see attached screen shot.  However, the preview window is still black.  How do I get an image to appear in the preview window.

Merci,

Don

Incidentally, I dd find the instructions in French as you suggested.  Unfortunately, I am unable to read French.    But I was able to understand much of what was described--just not all of it.  Hence, my questions.

Please upgrade to RC4. RC3 had a JavaScript bug that may affect scripts like the one you are using.

Hi Georg,

Thanks for letting me know of the upgrade.

Hi,

I upgraded to RC4 and tried SHO-AIP script again.  Same results.  I am able to get a new image, but the preview remains blank.  I think I am doing something wrong, but still uncertain.  Attached is a screenshot.

dear ,  the preview can not (on this time)  show a linear mix, but you use the zoom.

Personaly , i use my script in non lineare,  i have better results :

Hi,

That was easy.  The preview requires stretched images.

Merci,

Don
