Bi-Color Astrophotography image


Recommended Posts

Has anyone used a duo narrowband filter and separated the channels in affinity photo?  I have a modded DSLR and L enhance filter and would like to make a false color image by separating and remapping the color data.  Thanks in advance for your help!

I apologise for the delayed response to your post. Unfortunately Astrophotography isn't my area of expertise however does the following help article help with this at all?

Should be quite easy.

use 2 channel mixer adjustments.

one passes red channel only,

the other passes green/blue filter only (weighted average).

then use gradient map or any other method to assign colors to the greyscale images.

can someone provide example images?

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.

What I tried to express is you add 2 instances of the channel mixer adjustment, and adjust the settings accordingly.

This allows to mimic the "math equations" of Siril. I have no more details or tutorials about the actual formulas for users coming from Siril.
