DSS and RAW file problems

[Craigyboy3542]

I have tried to stack some RAW images in DSS and when i compute the number of detected stars i get 0 but if i use the JPEG's i took at the same time i get 1800+ is this normal or am i doing something wrong???

I have also use the slider to try and decrease the star detection threshold but still no joy also been in the RAW/FITS setting and set my camera to CANON EOS DIGITAL REBEL as I am using a Canon 1100D wasn't sure what to do with the colors adjustment so I left that.

I did convert the RAW files to TIFF as advised they would be better quality then the JPEG but when I tried to process these I was getting no color showing.

So basically I have only been able to stack and process JPEG files  

Any help advise welcome

Hi, not sure what the exact problem is but it is allways recomended that the latest beta version of DSS is used with 1100D raw files.

your not the only one with this issue
I have to convert to Tif before DSS will run files from my canon 600D

I always convert the raw files from my modded 600D to 16bit TIFFs before stacking in DSS as I find I get a far superior result than using raws, particularly when using an HA filter. I usually have to set the star detection threshold to over 70% to get the number of detected stars down below a 1000.

my only issue with the converting is the file size at over 100mb each they eat up drive space very quickly

I have latest version and 600d works fine.

It does seem a bit random my 650D works fine with the non beta version.

I had a problem with raws where when i processed them through dss they came out in portrait rather than l/scape so i lost half the shot then i changed to the latest beta version dss 333 at the time everything ok now

You need the 3.3.4 version Bruno.
