Saving Raw frames, lose color

#1

Post by markj57 »

I was imaging a nebula using live stacking and saving all raw frames with a ZWO294MC Pro. When done, the "save as shown" PNG was in color as expected, but the raw frames were all grey - maybe the slightest hint of color but negligible at best. Why would I not get color in my saved raw frames? I processed in DSS and even tried bumping up the saturation and it just colored the whole frame unnaturally.
Thanks
