The images from your camera are monochrome at the moment and they need to be
converted into true colour before enhancing them. Any processing of the image,
other than calibration with dark frames etc., will distort the colour rendering of the
result and so the conversion needs to be done before proceeding.
Important!
You
cannot
convert a binned image to colour, as binning sums the different colour pixels
together and averages out the colour information. All images that you intend to
colour convert must be taken in binned 1x1 mode. Also please note that you cannot
sum frames together before colour conversion. This must be done
after
the images
have been colour converted.
Here is a small enlarged section of a daylight image which may be similar to your test
image taken with a 50mm camera lens
The visible grid encodes the colour information within the image data and will now
be used to decode the red, green and blue image planes into a colour picture. To do
this, open the ‘Colour’ header tag where you will see the ‘Synthesize colour image’
option. Click on this to open the colour synthesis control panel.
