New Version Function Name

[wa4hnd]

Using the latest version.... I forgot the function name to use ( or it's been renamed ).

What I want to do is take a group of de-Bayered files and split them up into LRGB files... i.e. a set of Lum files Red Files Green files Blue files.

Thanks much in advance.

GREAT SOFTWARE !!!

Process/ColorSpaces/ChannelExtraction or Process/ColorSpaces/ConvertToGreyscale

I looked at those that they can't seem to be able to operate on a _group_ of files.

i.e.  I want to take a group of OSC subs and after DB, split those DB subs into  L, R, G, B files... i.e. 5 OSC subs that have been DB'd, should give me 20 new files.

You can do that with PixelMath and an ImageContainer.
Just set the image container with all the image you want to process. Apply PM with the equation $T[0] to replace the contents with the red channel. Do the same with all the channels, and the CIE L, changing the equation and the name of the output.
When done, you have to create a new image container, with all the previously generated image, and apply the ConvertToGrayscale process.

Of course, maybe writing an script that suits your needs would be less work for you at the end.

Thanks for the info... I'm just surprised someone hasn't done a script for this yet.... it's a fairly common need for people with OSC cameras who what to process their images correctly... I thought for sure I used to do this in PI but maybe not... I could have been using CCDStack for that and then bringing the subs into PI.

I haven't done OSC in awhile but had a need to use a SBIG 8300c and needed to process some images.

Maybe a request for a future feature.

Thanks again for the info.

You can use Script -> BatchProcessing -> BatchChannelExtraction for Extraction of R/G/B from your debayered files. Generating a pseudo-L from your R/G/B is best done after integration of the color channels, e.g. with a noise-weighted ImageIntegration or a PixelMath summation of R/G/B with rescaling.

The BatchChannelExtraction's major drawback is loss of information of all FITS header information that was written to it before. I think it's time for an update of this script.
