Digi-Steve Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hello,Last night I took 150pics of 15 sec looking like thisAll together in DSS it looks like thisWhat goes wrong here. I'm confused. I saved the DSS result and put it into CS5 to edit but as soon as I play with it, banding shows up. Any ideas.I've been out a few times now and the end results are putting me off.

Mr TamiyaCowboy Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Star count looks very low on the DSS output, when you see the imput files showing plenty of data. i would bump the star count in DSS see if that throws up a better result. you have well over 100 stars showing in the input image, so check DSS knows this bumping the star count up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi-Steve Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 The star count is set to 2% and it give a rate of +200 stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dishmop Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Are you adjusting the luminance and RBG/K values to stretch out the curves in DSS before you save your TIF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi-Steve Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm not touching anything. I also notice that the end result i see in DSS has more stars then the saved picture. I'm very confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi-Steve Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 This is the example of what I see in DSS as end result. Totally different then my Saved Tiff file.I run DSS on a mac using VMware Fusion 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I can't really shed any light on whats causing this, but I my preview of the end result in DSS is always dark! I also do not have CS5 (I have CS2), for me I have to change the mode on the TIF from 32bit to 16bit. Then I adjust the levels, then play with the curves...What are you adjusting in photoshop?Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi-Steve Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I adjust the levels as I've seen in tutorials. After that I play with curves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_l Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 My experience with DSS is that it saves the output as a 16bit TIF (as well as an Autostack.TIF). When you open PS to manipulate the TIF from DSS, it should detect it's a 16 bit/pixel file. It's not opening it as an 8 bit/pixel file is it?The file does look dark in PS, but the first thing I do is a histogram stretch to move the white point in (leftwards) to show up the details.

Cloudwatcher Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I've never used DSS so can't comment on what has happened but as I see you have CS5 you should have no problem with getting a reasonable result from the original image.I have CS3 working on a Mac and can pull out quite a bit from the first image............Might need to increase the saturation looking at the result on Forum screen.......
