Folder Camera and Live Stack Histogram

#1

Post by ZedLepplin »

Hello,
I really like the folder camera feature which has helped me learn sharpcap by practicing with saved raw files from previous EAA sessions. One thing that I noticed though is that on the histogram in livestack, the peak is extremely narrow as opposed to when the image was captured live. It makes it almost impossible to get the black line at the right part as well as the mid point. I've tried this on both linear and logarithmic settings and same result. Is there a zoom somewhere like there is when stacking live?

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

yes, you can do this in SharpCap 4.0 - there is a zoom option that extends the horizontal scale of that histogram

It does seem odd that things are coming out different in the folder monitor camera though - do check that something strange hasn't happened to the data (for instance 16 bit live, but only reading back as 8 bit).

cheers,

Robin
