Histogram controls
Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2020 2:48 pm
I have recently discovered that the controls of the Live Stacking histogram are very powerful and and especially offer impressive fine control of the RGB sliders. The Auto stretch and Auto colour balance usually provide a good starting point for some tweaking but this tweaking often makes a very quick and acceptable result (and often to my tired, late night eye, an impressive image) which I instantly save. A very small amount of touching up in my case in MS Paint to convert .png to .jpg and then an edit in Picasa 3.5 (Google EOL but still available) and I have something to circulate to friends and family without waiting for tomorrow and a few hours of DSS, APP, PI, Astrotools etc.
These fine tweaks don't seem to be available in the Display histogram, and don't work on the Live Stack histogram when there is only one image file displayed. Am I missing something here or is there a workaround that could let me use the same colour tweaks on a single .fits image?
