Totally baffled on how to proceed. Using evaluation version to learn.

[rtemen]

Good Morning.
I have been trying to process my pics for a couple of weeks now.
I have the eval version so I can learn how to use it and if I want to buy it.
The problem that I am having is that while following many tutorials/explanations I always run into a step where my result is radically different that the tutorial.
Since I do not know why it failed, I don't know what or how to ask for assistance.
I have tried many of my photos, and cannot get anything to work.
I have successfully used DSS on all of the pics that I am trying to use PI on, but to no avail.
PI will not stack my pics, PI will not work on any of my Autosave files from DSS.
Sigh
I do not know how to proceed or who to ask.

Any suggestions?

Rich,

I have an extensive workbook that I freely share that is designed, in part, to help new users get a handle on the system.  Just drop me a line at jkmorse57@gmail.com and I will be happy to send you my latest version (Rev 39a).

Regards,

Jim

G'day Jim,
I've been having similar issues as Rich whereby my result after following a tutorial are different to what the person who is demonstrating gets.
As an example, during a tutorial on the basic processing of Andromeda the guy selects "extract CIE L * component" and he gets another screen opening up with another image of Andromeda. When I follow the same process (mine is of The LMC) I get a totally dark screen with no image in it whatsoever, even auto-stretched doesn't show anything other than a black image.
So I was wondering, would it be possible if I could also e-mail you and ask for your document as you've done with Rich.
Cheers.

Steve
