Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
Lectori Salutem,
Meightbe a strange question (who on earth needs this ???)...
I need to save all Normalized frames, so just before the Intregration process, as JPG 100% sRGB etc etc.
I know it is possible to bulk save them as FITS, but I need the images to be in for Adobe Premiere or Photoshop readable format.
And because I'm talking about 100+ frames, this will be a crime to do this one by one.
Anyone knows it is possible to let APP do this in bulk?
If not, is there a possibility to set the default preferences for the manual Save on the right as JPG 100% etc.?
Thanks in advanced,
Martin Simmons
@martinsimmons Hi Martin, such a bulk save option was introduced in APP 1.083-beta2. See the top of each forum page for a download link. You will need to save the normalized FITS first as stretched (i.e. non-linear) FITS files and then you can bulk convert them to JPG. If you do not do the first bulk save then the JPG images will be unstretched.
HTH, Wouter
Thanks (y)
I see the new options in v1.083b2.
So if I understand correctly, save as FITS in the Normalization tab and then reload the FITS and do a Batch Save to JPG?
Although I tagged the Stretch and Saturation option on the right, the FITS / JPG is not saved stretched. I do not see the option anywhere but on the right in the save or bulk save process. Am I missing an option somewhere?
@martinsimmons Martin, I am sorry but I was mistaken. There is no possibility yet to batch stretch a set of images. It is considered for a future version, perhaps already 1.083 final but I am not sure about that.
Ok, thanks for the rectification 👍
For now I'll have to do with the manual save 😆 (I already took this path).
PS, it was fun to use APP 'out of the box' to create a timelaps video about the difference on the sensor between an azimutal and an equatorial mount.
