Hi all. I'm wondering if there are good reasons to perform certain operations in linear space prior to a stretch versus after.
Apart from the obvious pre-processing steps, there are some operations that would seem to be definitely linear stage, such as deconvolution and some only post-stretch such as HDR wavelets. There are some that appear to be almost-universally done with a linear image, such as background modeling and color calibration, but it looks like most post-processing operations *could* be performed in either space, which seems to be the case on scanning the many examples of "my PixInsight workflow" postings on the web at large.
All insights appreciated.
Thanks,
John.
