460ex Color save image as .tif or .fits?
« on: May 13, 2013, 12:25:36 pm »
I just shot all night in .fits file format but when I went to import it into Photoshop I realized I needed an add-on. After downloading FIT liberator all seemed well until I realized my images are black and white only (grayscale). No matter what I try I can't get Photoshop to display the .fit in color like Dawn does after the debayer/align/combine process.

Should I have saved all images with a OSC as .tif or am I doing something wrong?

i figured it out.

you need to change the color offset (both in tif or fits) with some kind of color corrector program.  i used nebulosity and i also did it with the RGB program that atik has.

there is an x and y setting - you just need to change it from 0,0 to like 1,0 or 0,1 - just try some combinations and it'll set it to color.
