LRGB Complete Workflow: Part 2 -- PixInsight Initial Processing
The subs are culled and the masters stacked. Now we're going to do the initial developing in PixInsight wherein we will play to its strengths. We'll do initial sharpening and deconvolution, align and color balance the masters, combine the RBG information, stretch the histograms and denoise the resulting images in preparation for advanced developing in a nondestructive, layer-based photo editor.
This is the second part in a four part series covering the complete technique and theory for LRGB processing. While this information is on LRGB processing, much of it also applies to OSC subs, too.
If you would like to practice these techniques, you can use the xisf data:
