basic pi workflow for rgb

[iwols]

Whats yours please

Integrate, crop, linear fit of the three masters, combine to rgb. Then dbe, bg neutralisation, photometric cc, arcsinh stretch. Chromatic noise reduction with MMT before or after stretch. Colour boost and lrgb combination. If I don’t have L, I may create it from RGB.

I process rgb for colour impact, and L for depth & detail. I keep colour processing separated from luminance processing.

thanks wim really struggle with the processing side of things its either great or drab,watched so many videos but find they are using files i dont have or some other reason why i cant proceed with the tutorial,going to have to make an effort to get a basic workflow that works everytime,do you use flats,bias and darks at all?

I have a cooled cmos, which needs flats, darks and flat darks. With cmos, you can't use scaled darks, and therefore you don't need bias frames. This differs from traditional ccd.
