Color Images recorded as Grayscale

#1

Post by markuspaul »

Hello.
I am just trying out a new ASI Pro 6200MC Pro. Color space is set to RAW16 and output to TIF. However when I open the tif files there is no colour information and they up as grey scale. The camera works correctly, i.e. if I use life stacking, things show up in colour. Has anyone come across this issue?

See my May 22 post (the pdf document) viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2665&start=10. This is the problem you are having. Load a TIFF file into Autostakkert and follow the steps, that should give you a colour image once you have the correct Debayer pattern. SharpCap is doing the Debayer in Live Stack but not for the saved files.

A more detailed explanation here viewtopic.php?f=35&t=254

What software are you using to deal with the TIFF files?
