images in each calibration group and save the combined master image in the same
directory as the individual frames. It will then modify the calibration groups to use each
master frame. Using “Replace w/Masters” saves a little time while calibrating images
because MaxIm only has to load and process one master file as opposed to all the
individual frames.
After clicking “Replace w/Masters” the Set Calibration window will look like this:
Note:
MaxIm assigns a name to the master calibration frames that shows all
the unique characteristics about the calibration group used to create it.
Click “OK” to close the Set Calibration window.
Calibrate Images in MaxIm LE

Now that you’ve told MaxIm about all your calibration frames you’re ready to calibrate you
light frames. We’re going to show an example of calibrating the “luminance” or “L” images.
If you’re taking LRGB images, the same techniques will be applied to processing the
images taken through the red, green and blue filters.
Open all the luminance images in MaxIm LE. In this example 9 luminance images were
taken with an exposure of 360 seconds each. All the luminance images were given a
filename suffix of “L” when the image sequence was setup using the Sequence tab in the
Camera Control window. Select multiple files from within a folder and drag them all at once
into MaxIm or select “Open…” from the File menu and open individual or multiple files in a
single operation.
With the files open in MaxIm, select “Calibrate All” from the Process menu.
