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.
Hello,
I've tried to follow this instruction to get an artifical flat from a single calibrated file : https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/tutorials-workflows/how-to/#post-449
It creates a file suffixed with "artificialFLatFromLights" tagged "MF-1" but this file is never associated to lights, even forcing the DOF association.
The generated file is described as a "16b RGB" color space file. The created MD and MB files are "16b GRAY" : can this explain the issue ? So in this case how to generate an artifical flat in the same color space ?
Thanks a lot for your support.
Did you first calibrate the lights etc like in that little workflow? I’ll test this out today myself, never used it so good thing to try here as well. I’ll report back.
@vincent-mod yes, I've tried on a single calibrated image file because it's the way I've understood from the how-to but it seems to not be the way to do.
Indeed this morning I've tried to create the artificial flat from an UNcalibrated frame and the association works.
Interesting. I think you need to use all your lights, but not 100% sure, I’ll check it out.
Ok I tried it and it worked. So what I did was to do the calibration on the lights and after calibration saving those. Then clearing all data, loading them as lights again and taking one to go through the "correct vignetting" tool in tab 9, in which you get to create boxes in the areas where there is the gradient. You can then check if that works, check the "create artificial flat" and save that file. Then you should be able to assign the masterflat to the lights (check by switching to "l-calibrated" on top of the APP window).
Ok, so if I understand well, you save all the calibrated frames after the step 2 (through "save calibrated frames" button) and restart a fresh workflow ? I think this is th step I did not understood in the HOWTO. I'm going to try it today.
Thanks for your help.
Yes, first let it calibrate and then save them and reload.
