Saving a scaled 16 bit tif image

I am still new to PI processing. The answer to my question may be obvious, however, it eludes me. How do I save a "scaled" 16 bit tiff image that I can import into programs such as Photoshop. I can import it into CCDStack and save it as a "scaled TIFF" but I would like to avoid this step.
Thanks for any help,
Don

  • Hi Don,

    In PixInsight you need to make a linear image a non-linear (permanently stretched) image. Then you save it as a TIFF image at 16-bits. 

    So the answer to your question is with the understanding of the STF and HistogramTransformation. This is the first hurdle that every PixInsight user needs to understand thoroughly. In my Fundamentals Path the videos I am referring to are at steps 17, 18, and 19. See: https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/the-pixinsight-path

    Have you reviewed these videos?
    Technically I also ask you to watch them as part of FastTrack Training as well.

  • Thank you for the quick response.  I have reviewed the Fast Track Training.  I will check out the Fundamental steps as you suggest.  I had not performed the "permanent non-linear" transformation.  I believe this will solve my problem. Thanks again. Don
