Weighted Batch Preprocessing Script & Fast Batch Preprocessing Deep Dive Recorded Workshop Purchase The powerful WBPP and FBPP and scripts are the most streamlined way to perform preprocessing in PixInsight. “Preprocessing” refers to all the steps required to make one or more master images from a set of sub-frames (“subs”). The masters output by WBPP are the starting point for rendering beautiful deep-sky images in PixInsight. In this workshop, Ron and Warren will show you how to get the most out of these scripts whether you are using monochrome, OSC or DSLR data. They’ll show you how, as the “conductor,” WBPP controls all the players in the preprocessing “orchestra,” ensuring that each plays their part correctly. In addition to explaining the script’s interface and its basic use Warren and Ron will demonstrate: CosmeticCorrection – Preparing mono and OSC icons for WBPP to use Setting Default Quality – Set up WBPP to balance quality and speed to suit your needs LocalNormalization – Using the interactive checkbox to get control over the reference frame Exposure Tolerance – combining – or not – exposures of different length. Sub-frame Weighting Options -- default and custom options Preparing to Drizzle – When to activate the Drizzle checkbox Grouping Keywords – Working with complex data sets Managing Your Output – What should you keep? What can be safely discarded, and when?
