UPDATE FROM MABULA

I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred  after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.

 

Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.

 

APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46.  Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.

How to save tif files from APP for starnet++...?

I can not process my APP 16 bit tif files in starnet++.

The error message I get is "Only Grayscale tif files with 16 bit per channel are supported by this executable" or correspondant for RGB ínages.

My standard workflow is APP -> starnet++ -> PS.

Starnet++ only accepts 16 bit tif files (mono or color). It does not accept tiff files saved by APP. Import into Lightroom or Photoshop with another export as tif does not help. 

The only way to get my images into starnet++ at the moment is to save as .fits from APP, import into PixInsight and save as a tif from there (which is annoying).

Does anybody here have an idea what I must do to to save files from APP that I can directly use in starnet++?

Thanks a lot,

Pete

Mm, so you're saying that saving as tif from Photoshop doesn't work either? Can you check if that is indeed 16-bit then? If Photoshop doesn't solve that either, it's almost like Starnet has some strange requirement. We can dig deeper ofcourse.

Oh Vincent - stupid me! I had tomatoes on my eyes as we say here. For more than half a year!!

I just found that had a conflict between .tif and .tiff naming in my batch file. APP saves files with the ending .tiff. After I changed the file name ending from .tif to .tiff in the batch command file everything was ok.

Sorry for molesting you and thanks for your quick support!

Cheers

Pete

Oh no worries! Glad you got it solved! Where do they have that saying? Never heard it before. 🙂

...we say that in Germany - and yeah, I did not find an English translation for that 😉

Ahh, ok. Just curious, I do know German as a language, but these things are not in the books. 😉 Thank you.
