  • GraXpert 2.0 is now officially available for download. It is no longer necessary to download the AI ​​separately and further improvements have also been made. In addition, PixInsight users now have a script available with which they can start GraXpert AI directly from PixInsight. So you no longer have to leave PixInsight to use GraXpert AI.
    In the video I will show you in detail how you can download and install GraXpert. I show this for Windows 10 (11) and for Mac OS. Then I'll show you how to load and install the PixInsight Script, the toolbox.
    Have fun with GraXpert AI and the video

    I just tried GraXpert 2.0 for the first time, and I have to say it is very impressive! I used it both as a stand-alone app and from the PixInsight plug-in script. Both were easy to use and got rid of some pretty tricky and pervasive gradients on a project that I was working on, shooting broadband under Bortle 8 skies no less! Thank you very much!

    GraXpert in AI modus is so powerful and so easy to use that it became my standard gradient remover tool. The fact that it can be used out of PixInsight makes it even more a standard. No need for DBE anymore. I’m a big fan of the tool and of course of your channel Frank. Many thanks and hopefully we get some clear skies soon … (hopefully the next version of GraXpert can remove the clouds from our images 😂 )

    Many thanks! Just a quick question about Graxpert and PixInsight please? I can successfully load the most recent version as a stand alone and can successfully connect to Graxpert through PixInsight. My question is that when I connect through PixInsight it the pop-up screen shows the old version script v1.4 rather than the most recent version (3.02). In the process control box it shows the current version time stamp as 2024-04-29T16-25:38.387Z. I am assuming that the version being used is the most recent based on the time stamp in spite of what is being displayed in the tool? Are you able to confirm please? Again, many thanks! Gord

    Great tool but it seems to get rid of the astrometric information that is needed to run SPCC after GraXpert completes. I had to use SPCC as a first step instead but I'm not sure the calibration is as accurate.
    Also wondering if the division works... On the PixInsight process window (gives the status of the program progress), there is a message that "subtraction" is taking place even though I chose division.

    • @astrophotocologne

      That might be a problem with your PI Version. So you could try to update (from the PI Homepage, not from the update service within PI!). You also could try the process instead of the script. But first you should do the update.

    I've downloaded the latest version of GraXpert 2.2.0 into Mac OS Ventura and launched it in PixInsight. However, when I use the wrench tool and point it directly at the application, it just does nothing; the Javascript Routine window does not close, and just tells me "assignment to undeclared variable path." Does anyone know how to fix this? It's a fantastic tool and I am most grateful to the developers for providing it. I look forward to using it in PI soon. Thanks!

    I have run into trouble with using Graxpert on Pixinsight. Pixinsight kept giving a signature failed syntax, so I removed the Graxpert repository and deleted the graxpert.js file and the xsgn file from inside Scripts and re-added it to repositories. Now Graxpert does not show up inside Pixinsight at all. I have the repository added but it does not show any updates nor does Graxpert show up inside Toolbox under Scripts. This all happened after the latest Pixinsight update. What am I doing wrong? I use an Intel based Mac.

The picture was un-usable for further processing. To verify this I need to try on a few more pictures. Edit: I have tried on a few other files and now I think all is good.😊

      No, we have no idea why it sometimes produces a 404. We think thats a problem on the PixInside side. Try the following: Go to Resources-Updates-Reset Updates. after that do check for new updates and do the whole update ceremony again. That helped others with the same problem.
