SJAA Imaging 5 17 2023 Rich Klein, Astro Pixel Processor

Introduction to Astro Pixel Processor Rich Klein Astro Pixel Processor is a complete deep sky image processing application with several innovative and useful features. The software can be used for calibration, registration, normalization and integration as well as some final processing such as gradient and light pollution removal, RGB combine, color calibration, non-linear stretching and others. A major plus for beginners is that it provides a clear, linear workflow with a shallow learning curve, and the default settings on almost all of the built-in tools work very well, allowing even inexperienced Astrophotographers to produce very good images. I'll introduce Astro Pixel Processor by processing a one-shot color image from start to finish, using APP and two external tools (GIMP and Topaz AI Denoise).
