WBPP no light master produced

No matter what I try I can't produce a light master. I do get flat and bias masters, but no light master. Where shall I begin with problem solving this?

    If you are using WBPP to automatically register and integrate, you need to check this post processing options in the Lights tab. BUT- this is NOT what I am teaching beginners in FastTrack Training. Are you going through my course?

    Yes, I'm going through the course. I don't see any available options in the post processing section. Please see attached.

    Hi Joe,

    I was being very particular in my response. Registration and Image Integration are post-processing options. They are enabled in the LIGHTS tab. When you enable/check them in the LIGHTS tab, they will be checked as in play in the post processing panel you took a screenshot of. The post processing panel just shows you what is going on... it isn't a place to adjust anything.

    But in FastTrack training, we do not do this. It is important to see how StarAlignment and ImageIntegration work. Then using WBPP, once you know how they work and you know the kind of output they generate, you can automate everything. Many first time users of WBPP expect everything to just work and they will often say "WBPP" failed to align my images. But this isn't how it works. WBPP runs StarAlignment...StarAlignment failed to align the images- often for good reason. :) So seeing how star Alignment works and the kind of results and errors it generates is important.

    Thank you for the clarification. I've got it. Back to FastTrack.
