Registax 6 - crazy paving problem?

[DannyHarvey]

Does anyone know if there is a fix for the regitax 6 crazy paving problem yet?

[Steve Ward]

Yes , it's called Registax V5.1 .... 

Alternatively there's AS!2 .

I would agree, I can't get version 6 to work at all. 5.1 normally does the trick.

ok - I've just tried it and it fixes the problem - unfortunately I use the histogram tool in 6 a lot - the 5 version won't let me compress individual colour channels, is there a way of importing from v5 to v6 after I have done the wavelets in 5?

[DannyHarvey]

I suppose I could finish off in photoshop, it was just handy to do it in Registax

I think AS!2 is generally better than Registax 5.1 and at least as good as v6 so I'd recommend using it instead.  However, there's no reason you couldn't stack in v5.1, save the stacked image as a TIFF without further processing and the load it into v6 for that.

thanks James, I will give that a try

I use AS!2, I've found it way better than registax. Its alot less fussy with file size. I use PixInsight for wavelets.

I think I have found a solution after browsing the internet. Use just one align point instead of the multitude that R6 allows- I have been over and re done some old stacks that previously crazy paved - it seems to work!

and this looks good too - switching off the points that are causing it:
