[Solved] Unable To Load Many Hubble Lights As .fits Files from MAST

Hello!

New renter here. I'm really thrilled with this software. I am using 2.0.0-beta9 on windows 10 pro.

I have spent the trial period tearing through Webb fits files from MAST ( https://mast.stsci.edu/portal/Mashup/Clients/Mast ) and that has gone very well. I have since purchased the renters license and moved on to hubble fits files at the same location. Unfortunately when loading these as lights and then moving on to calibration I receive the following error:

Encountered error in module:
FloatFitsConverter

Error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Raster sun.awt.image.SunWritableRaster@383dd61b is incompatible with ColorModel ColorModel: #pixelBits = 96 numComponents = 3 color space = java.awt.color.ICC_ColorSpace@46c67a88 transparency = 1 has alpha = false isAlphaPre = false

Cause:
Raster sun.awt.image.SunWritableRaster@383dd61b is incompatible with ColorModel ColorModel: #pixelBits = 96 numComponents = 3 color space = java.awt.color.ICC_ColorSpace@46c67a88 transparency = 1 has alpha = false isAlphaPre = false

This does not happen with all of the hubble .fits images I have tried so far, but it does seem to be for most of them. For a given project ID however, they will either work as expected, or the above issue takes place.

Part of my workflow are custom steps within Linux. These steps don't modify the fits files themselves, only renaming them for dimensions (WxH) and/or the filter in use (hubble fits file names aren't helpful, JWST ones are but lack the resolution). I used to look at the fits headers for the dimensions however I found that nearly all of the time that data is not present, and if it is, it might be in the Naxis1 and Naxis2 fields, or... somewhere else making scripting difficult. Thus I now use "fitspng" to convert them to .png files, then look at the dimensions in that file, and use that in a script to rename the files with the dimensions -- if they are there, and potentially with the filter name (JWST filenames have that in them, hubble filenames do not). To be clear I am using the png files merely for rough previews and to more easily obtain the dimensions.

The reason I mention these custom steps are that I notice that fitspng also cannot deal with the hubble fits files in question, throwing errors such as:

$ fitspng -v -f asinh ua3d0101m_c0f_F953N.fits
Default intensity scaling: qblack=0.250000 rsense=1.000000. Itt type=1.
Initialisation has finished.
FITS load has begun...
Crash: Only CIE 1931 XYZ colour-space is supported yet.

FITSIO status = 202: keyword not found in header
Error: fitspng failed for `ua3d0101m_c0f_F953N.fits'.

I am, however, able to preview the .fits files in linux software called gwenview. The preview that is shown to me shows the images as red, rather than the usual "black and white" / monochrome. This is only observed for the hubble fits files in question.

I can also open these fits files in fits liberator 4.0.0build1. As expected they show up as "black and white" / monochrome and I can process them as normal, although I really want APP to handle them instead.

I am not quite sure how to proceed from here, I would like to help resolve this issue in any way I can. I have the .fits files in question of course and can upload them upon request.

Thank You!
