Hi Alan;

I'm not sure yet. This first image was made by copying two frames from  

two movies opened in QT7 and then pasting them into layers in  

Photoshop. I can't tell from my log file in AstroIIDC whether the  

movies were captured in 8bit or 16bit mode (I used both yesterday.) I  

am currently processing some prominence movies in AstroIIDC. The  

stacking status window shows me that the frames being stacked are 16  

bit... I will try a log stretch on these to see.

best regards,

The depth and all the other settings used are stored in the Session Log File, which is created when you grab a frame or record a movie.

Check for the field "Camera Display Format" in the log file. It either says 8bit or 16bit and indicates what depth frame was grabbed  or the movie was recorded at.

HTH..
