AutoIntegrate v1.70 - DeepSNR, Signature, FastIntegration, Flowchart

Changes in AutoIntegrate v1.70 are listed below.

DeepSNR denoise

  • Support for denoise using DeepSNR. DeepSNR must be installed
    to the PixInsight before it can be used.

Add signature to an image

  • Added an extra processing option to add a signature file to the image.
    Image file must be given by the user.
  • The signature file can be for example a .png image with a transparent
    background. Note that no borders are added to the image.
  • Optionally the signature image can be scaled relative to the main image.
    The scaling is given as a percentage of the main image size.
  • Signature position can be chosen: ‘Top left’, ‘Top middle’, ‘Top right’,
    ‘Bottom left’, ‘Bottom middle’, ‘Bottom right’.

FastIntegration changes

  • Fix when finding the integrated image.
  • New section for FastIntegration settings.
  • Fast SubframeSelector is used to find the reference image when FastIntegration is enabled. Only 10 first
    images are evaluated. This can be disabled in FastIntegration settings.
  • By default cosmetic correction is not done when using FastIntegration. This can be changed in FastIntegration settings.
  • Drizzle can be used with FastIntegration.
  • Some changes to default values for FastIntegration.

Flowchart changes

  • Flowchart is now enabled by default.
  • By default the processed image is shown in the background of the flowchart.

    enabled by default and can be toggled during the processing.

AutoContinue start prefix

  • Added a textbox to give the start prefix for AutoContinue. It is used
    if current window prefix images are not found. Previously only window
