Live Stack Resume Add Already Shot Images

#1

Post by cschatz »

Imaging right now with Live Stack, it's truly a wonderful thing, but twice now I have been booted and had to
restart the live stack session (both were pilot error on my part closing the program instead of minimizing)..
When you have 10 frames it's a bummer to start again and loose the accumulation of images which makes it
such an awesome way to image....Would be great to have a 'Resume From These Images...' sort of like DSS Live
when it asks "Do you want to add the images already in this folder"...

Cheers,
Casey

Hi Casey,

yes, that's just one of the things you could do if there was the ability to save and reload a stack in progress (think maybe that it could autosave in the background after every frame and then wind back a frame if you suddenly get a satellite trail as another example). Right now though, it's a fair way off happening...

What some people do is to take the output files from multiple separate live stack sessions and then stack those in DSS (or another stacking program). Just remember not to use darks/flats/bias/etc if you are stacking live stack output images.

cheers,

Robin
