1.5.369 no color - what am I overlooking?

Post by khobar95 »

Hi,

I had been using 1.4.x without any real issues. I then discovered I had at some time downloaded 1.5.369MR2, and decided to give it a try. It looks good, but for some reason when I import the exact same M42.tiff I had processed in 1.4.x, it comes in black and white/grayscale.

Source image: DSLR stacked in DSS. As said, no problem in 1.4.x.

What am I overlooking?

Thx.

Edit: Never mind...went for dinner, came back and color had shown up.

Good to hear you got it sorted. FYI, processing with Compose mode engaged (new in 1.5+) will see you process luminance (mono) separately to the color data. The two are combined once you hit the Color module, but until then you will be processing mostly the luminance dataset.
