Dear folks,
Here’s a formal announcement of the
PixInsight series
I’m working on. I wanted to share this news with you. Would you please
be so kind as to help us pass the word? Thank you very much all!
‘This time out, we board a new vehicle called PixInsight for which
there is tremendous interest! Warren has teamed with PixInsight expert
Rogelio Bernal Andreo, an APOD imager and recipient of AIC’s prestigious
Pleiades Award. PixInsight is the brainchild of Juan Conejero, a
Spanish software developer who has led the ‘PTeam’ since 2004 in PI’s
development. If you’re new to image processing,
PixInsight is
a very powerful and much less expensive alternative to Photoshop. New
modules are being added all the time, eliminating the need for
astro-specific, 3rd-party plugins as with Photoshop. Because it was
specifically designed for Astrophotography, it has definite advantages
over Adobe CS. We’re confident that IP4AP’s succinct and to-the-point
format will deliver the much needed ‘context and chronology’ to the
existing information available on PixInsight- the what to do and when to
do it. As with previous series, we are offering a Special Introductory
Price on our Rolling Release. As each chapter is completed, it will be
made available to you in streaming format. When the entire series is
finished we will produce a DVD. Take advantage of this special,
limited-time offer. The new, quality series by the world leader- IP4AP,
on the hottest software in collaboration with its hottest user.
Once you are comfortable navigating in
PixInsight
you’ll learn how to harness its powerful, multiscale processing
environment. ATrous Wavelets will enable you to treat large and small
scale structures independently of one another. You’ll learn how to
Reduce, Align, and Combine quality master files; and while still in the
linear space: restore sharpness with Deconvolution, repair Gradients
with ABE and DBE, achieve proper color balance with Color Calibration,
and perform noise reduction with ACNR. Later, we’ll perform permanent,
nonlinear stretches with the Histogram Transformation tool, develop
amazing detail with HDRMT, and perform other enhancements such as
selective Saturation and Morphological Transformation to reduce star
sizes. Down the road, Rogelio will demonstrate his super-mosaic
techniques.
PixInsight is
available as a rolling release. Your purchase gives you access to new
tutorials as they are posted. The online version is just $39.99! Please
be patient with us as quality authoring and production is time
consuming. PixInsight tutorials require a Flash enabled browser.
Tutorials cannot be downloaded.’
Best always, Warren
