Astro Pixel Processor 2.0.0-beta17 release notes
- FIXED RAW processing (Canon,Nikon, Sony etc), camera color matrix applied correctly with Bayer/X-Trans Drizzle integration
In 2.0.0-beta15 we introduced processing of camera RAW files using the camera color matrix. Now, this also works properly with Bayer/X-Trans Drizzle integration enabled. The CFA pixels that are used for Bayer/X-Trans Drizzle itnegration are now also corrected with the camera color matrix. To be able to do this, we do internally demosaic the data so we have the R,G,B values for each pixel and thus the camera color matrix can work with correct values for each pixel. As a final step the camera color matrix corrected CFA pixels are the only ones send to the integration engine for Bayer/X-Trans Drizzle integration as expected.
- FIXED image viewer issues
As reported here: https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/main-forum/problem-with-the-image-viewer-with-the-new-2023-04-05-app-2-0-0-beta15/ beta 15 and 16 had some problems with the image viewer causing a black image viewer with odd scrollbars. This issue should be fixed now. The issue could occur ofter processing of the data or in/after a tool.
