Hi, When I use the RGB combine tool with a formula like RGBHOO or the others, does signal to noise ratio improve? as compared to just using the split R, G, B files? Is there actually more data in the final image?
I am still a newby and this question crossed my mind.
Thanks.

Hi Andy,
Your SNR (signal to noise ratio) will marginally improve as you combine two images each for one RGB channel, e.g. your R and H frames both would contribute to the R channel of the final image. Note that the improvement will only be marginal though, the SNR will be a factor of SQRT(2) better (roughly by 1.41).
Best regards & CS,
Erich
