How do I force Debayer in DSS?

[Stub Mandrel]

When I capture raw frames in Sharpcap they are saved as .png files.

DSS assumes they are debayered so the final result of stacking is a black and white image.

Can anyone suggest how to force it to debayer them.

If I remember correctly, there is two tabs somewhere in options - one is for raw files from DSLR cameras, and other is for Fits/PNG files.

There you can set if files are OSC or Mono, and which debayer method to choose.

If for any reason it fails on PNG files - just convert (and use in the future) - fits files, I know for certain that it works with those.

Thank,

I've just tried this as you suggest, but it hasn't worked as it interprets the PNG files as RGB.

If I use Autostakkert and force a debayer, I get excellent colour.
