APT Question

[mbalkham]

Quick question, is it possible to auto setup a dark plan based on the current light plan? It then prefixes the file numbers with D (which is great help for post) but I end up setting up a duplicate dark plan and editing the exposure and ISO to the same as my light plan and it would be great if I could just copy it all across!

Thanks in advance

Hi

Um, not as far as I know... Maybe someone else knows different. I suppose you could just execute a light plan with the cap on Then rename the images later Or you could edit a set of dark plans which are the same as your light plans but obviously that might only be practical with simple plans. I tend to stick to certain, simple light plans e.g. 60s, 120s, 180s, 360s, 600s, 1200s. So it's easy enough to set up equivalent dark plans and they're there and ready should I need them . In any case I have sets of darks libraries so that I don't have to do them very often anyway.

Hopefully when you look at the pics you'll see that they are darks......

If not then you're having more probs than you're admitting. ..lol

The trouble with that is I need to open them or import to Lightroom as Windows can't build a preview of cr2 raw files (as far as I know). Just thought apt would have thought about this and made it super simple. Might email them.

Take raw+large.

then you get a jpg proof with the same name that you can see

I'm adding this request to my To-Do list

Meanwhile you can use simple workaround use the Light plan but enter "Dark" as Object name. This will give easy way to separate the files...
