Subject: Re: Camera for guiding

Hi Jim;

That's an already implemented feature in the Alpha version. It gives

you a single scrollabel window with controls for image preview, zoom,

seven sharpness levels (via unsharpen mask not Laplacian), saturation

levels , high low level adjustment, log curves and noise reduction.

Also it does all this processing in bit per pixel too. I don't have a

release date yet for it though - it's going to be a while.

HTH..

I love the stacking feature...In fact if you could add visual

adjustment of filters like the

ones in Keith's Image Stacker, specifically Laplacian Pyramid

Sharpening, Levels, and

Wavelet De-Noise, I wouldn't need any other software. :-)

Rock on!

Hi Tim;

I meant to say - "Stop development of the Stacking Aspect". If

people

feel that it's of no use to them - then there is no point in working

anymore on it.

It's the same with the Remote Hardware Trigger. There are hordes of

things I can do with that for Machine Vision, but since no one is

using it there isn't any point in doing it.

So basically I'm looking to prioritize where I spend my time. God

knows I have my hand full with rewriting all the code because Apple

is deprecating almost everything these days, as well as having to

deal with all the performance losses this causes (150% drop

switching

to CoreGraphics over 20 year old QuickDraw) and that's on top of

the 200% performance hit we (ultimately you guys) take with using

XCode as the compiler instead of CodeWarrior.

So if people aren't using an aspect, say so and I can move on to

other aspects that make it a better product. No point in wasting

time

with something no one wants.

TTYL..
