New to PI, where is the integrated image after doing weighted batch processing

[gwandless]

Hi All,

Just started using PI, and tried doing the weighted batch processing of my images of M101. But I couldn't find the resulting image to continue with post processing. Where is it stored?

Thanks,
Greg

they are inside the directory that you specify in the WBPP interface - there are subfolders containing the various masters.

"master" files is astrophotography jargon for integrated files - "master dark" == integrated dark from dark subs, "master flat" == integrated flat from flat subs, etc.

are you using an OSC or a mono camera? PI won't merge the 3 filter images into an RGB image on its own, if that's what you are looking for. if you had subs from R, G and B filters, you'll find 3 master lights, one per filter.

i should add that "integrated" doesn't mean "RGB combined" - integrated simply means "added", in the mathematical sense.

I am using a Canon DSLR. I see that I have a Grey Master image, how do I merge the R,G, and B to get the RGB master?

ah - you forgot to specify that the images are CFA (color filter array) in the WBPP interface. DSLRs are OSC cameras (one-shot color) and as such they have a CFA over the sensor. they need to be Debayered after calibration. WBPP handles that automatically if the CFA box is checked.

you’ll have to re-run WBPP after ticking that box. After that you’ll automatically have a 3 channel master light.

Where might I find the CFA box? I can't see anywhere in WeightedBatch. I do see it in the BatchProcess!

Look under the control panel tab.
