The mono data stretching macros also require masking to avoid overexposing bright detail: the masks for this process are based off an average of several different data sets.

Note that this should be considered as an alternative to the existing tone stretching methods, not a replacement! As always, experiment and see which methods work best for your data: indeed, you may find that one method may be exceptional for one set of data, but not another.

Do try both, however, and see which works better for you. If the data is not optimal, I would advise trying the standard stretch. The log stretch may work better for clean, high quality data.

There are two methods available for RGB, L-RGB and SHO data sets: Mono Stretch, and Mono Log Stretch.

I have found that this approach can yield some much better results for complex nebulae, and it’s easier to pull the colours apart and create a final image with more depth. You can colour map using the data setup macros before or after this process. Rather than tone stretching the composited, colour-mapped result, these macros will instead tone stretch each mono layer individually.

This is a completely new approach to tone stretching for monochrome data.

See the included PDF for installation instructions and a detailed explanation of how to use the macros.įree to download, but if you want to donate for time and work it's much appreciated :)

RGB luminosity layers: boost channel detail e.g.

Easily reduce background luminosity and star luminosity with additional macros that utilise these live masks so you can adjust them non-destructively.

Add live, non-destructive star and background masks.

Colour range luminosity enhancement to bring out specific detail.Reduce excessive star detail to promote focus on other deep sky objects.A selection of masked tonal macros for finer control over contrast and brightness enhancement.Add diffuse glow and brilliance to highlight detail.Monochrome colour mapping for single grayscale data layers.Various sharpening methods: gaussian subtractive sharpening, gaussian kernel edge-mask sharpening, weighted intensity ('background') sharpening, non-linear sharpening to avoid 'panda eyes' around high contrast star detail etc.RGB, LRGB, SHO, HOS, HOO, HaOIII, RGB-HSO, HORGB, HORGB-L. A variety of composition setups for different data set combinations, e.g.Multi-Bandpass Sharpening (an implementation of the popular Absolute Point of Focus sharpening method), which enhances perceptual detail and sharpness in a very pleasing way.Perform automated normalisation tone stretching, logarithmic tone stretching, olour preserving tone stretch (similar to Arcsinh) and mono data tone stretching.

Here's a quick list of some functionality the macros provide:

The download bundle does however include a ZIP called "Legacy V1 Macros" which contains V13 of the macros that can be installed with Photo V1 (1.10).

You will receive an "Unexpected Format" error message if you try and install the. Please note: V14 and future versions will only be compatible with Affinity Photo V2 and above, as they take advantage of functionality not present in V1. These macros work equally well for both OSC (one shot colour) and monochrome data setups. Workflow aids for astrophotography editing with over 100 macros including functions such as star size reduction, various tone stretching methods, multi-bandpass sharpening, diffuse glow, mono data colour mapping and more.
