GraXpert 2.0 and PixInsight // Download and Installation for Mac OS and Windows
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ย. 2023
- 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

Thanks so much for Graxpert. It has allowed me to save old data that I thought was unusable due to lost darks/flats. Again thanks!
Thank you for creating an English version of the video. This is much appreciated. GraXpert is fantastic and has quicky become my favorite gradient removal tool.
That is very nice to hear, have fun!
I’m new to Pixinsight and The AI version of GraXPert makes gradient reduction easy. Thank you for posting this helpful video!
Have Fun with it!
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!
Thank you! Have fun with GraXpert and thanks for your little something extra.
My pleasure!@@astrophotocologne
Wonderful job, amazing. Thank you :) 🤩
you are welcome
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 😂 )
nice to hear. If I could do something about the clouds, I would do. I feel you.
I figured it out ...had to zoom in on your video for complete name.. THANKS
what did you figure out?
Uuuungewohnt dich auf englisch zu hören. Aber wie immer, super Arbeit!
jaaa, macht irgendwie auch Spaß. Aber ist auch anstrengender. Danke dir.
Thank you so much Frank! This is truly a superb piece of software. Am I right in assuming that I do not need to run the DBE/ABE after using Graxpert?
Thank you. GraXpert is a Substitution for DBE or ABE. As you assumed, there is no Need to run one of them.
@@astrophotocologne Awesome stuff! Thank you for a quick reply 🙏
Thanks a lot !
you´re welcome
@@astrophotocologne 😄
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
I think that is just a typo or something like that.
I tried to install GraXpert as a plugin in Pixinsight but it didn't work because of n invalid signature (or something like that).
What can I do to solve this problem?
Thank you,
Fabrizio
Hello, can you please explain more the smoothing factor setting? why it is recommended to leave it at zero?
The Model that is produced by the AI is already very smooth, so in most cases thats sufficient.
Thank you, I am stuck on adding thte AI Model in Windows. I am being asked to use the Advanced panel on the right, however there is no AI-Models listed to select from, only "None". Can the AI model be downloaded manually?
maybe have a look at the newest video, that was released just yesterday.
Hi Frank! Sag mal, warum immer die Meldung kommt: Neuere Version Verfügbar, obwohl ich Graxpert 2.2.1 heruntergeladen, deinstalliert und neu installiert habe? Könnt Ihr mal das fixen? Danke und Gruß
Alex
THanks - I'm using GraXpert 3.0.2 on a Mac under Applications. It seems the Denoiser behaves somewhat better (at least that gets me the dialog box). But when I go to GraXpert (background extraction) under Scripts/Toolbox, I'm getting this error:
/Applications/PixInsight/include/pjsr/NumericControl.jsh, line 150: Error: Math.range(): invalid argument type: numeric value expected.
Help is much appreciated! Thanks.
very cool tool - danke !
Ist there any chance to s´get rid of the splash screen? it blocks the screen during processing when run from Pixinsight ...
Hello, at the moment that is not possible. Maybe in future versions.
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.
I will forward this. The guys are working on a new version, not sure if theses issues will be fixed. Thank you!
Thanks. The division seems to be working. Probably my error.
I get a message failed error there is not enough space to the disc when I try to use graxpert.Something with the swamp files.Before it was working just fine.
Hi, hm, maybe you are running out of disk space? Never got such a message before.
I copied the url script in pixinsight I updated everything. When I run graspers I get error 9. Seems like program did not load. I looked in toolbox. Nothing is in the tool box file. What did I do wrong?
Peter
Pls. try again. If it does not appear in the folder try ressources,updates, reset updates. After that start from scratch.
I've gone through all the steps, but as soon as I click on Graxpert in the toolbox menu, I get a Code Verification Error. So I don't even get the graxpert window to pop up.
Any idea why the code verification would be failing?
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.
My MacOS is version Catalina10.15.7. Is there a way I can use GraXpert with this version.?
It should work with that
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!
Pls. try again, it should be fixed now.
@@astrophotocologne Thank you very much for following up. I thought this meant that I had to reinstall GraXpert, so I uninstalled my previous 2.2.2 and reinstalled it, and now when I try to launch the script from the Toolbox, it tells me the signature verification failed in the GraXpert.js file. Well, I'll keep trying...
I continue to get a "failed to download repository" message. Not sure if its related to Graxpert. But no toolbox ever shows up in Pixinsight
hm, strange. Maybe contact the developer, I am afraid I have no idea.
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.
Try re-initiate again. This should work. "Scripts" - "Feature Scripts" - "Regenerate"
@@mpk2707Thank you. Will give it a try.
@@mpk2707Thank you so much! It worked 😊
I keep getting an error message in Pixinsight when trying to run Graxpert. * Error: Signature verification failed for 'GraXpert': Invalid code signature: C:/Program Files/PixInsight/src/scripts/Toolbox/Graxpert.js. Any idea how to fix this?
The same happens to me
Hi, Do you know why you would get this error in pixinsight. *** Error: Signature verification failed for 'GraXpert': Invalid code signature: C:/Program Files/PixInsight/src/scripts/Toolbox/Graxpert.js - When checking the file, it is actually located in the correct location and has the correct installation date.
I updated and tested the toolbox scripts using the previous PixInsight Build. After updating to the newest version some of the scripts had an invalid code signature. For this reason I did the code sign again and now it works.
@@jurgenterpe4121 I noticed that 👍. I did a run of graxpert with different settings and found it did NOT do a supple gradient removal. It was actually more of a contrast enhancement. 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.😊
I get Error 404 on my mac after downloading the new version. The link for the PI in this video for the repository gives a 404 error.
In PI under Ressources/Updates press Reset updates. Close PI and start again, then execute check for updates. Hope this helps
I'm getting a 404 error, URL was not found on this server. Has it moved?
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.
Is there a way to speak with someone? Im able to download it but whe i try to open and run it, i get an error
Well you can write with us. Either here, or you send an email via our homepage or join discord. Anyway, we need more informations. What is the error message saying, which computer, which operating system, are you using anti mal/virus software?
@astrophotocologne ill send an email so i can send screen shots
@astrophotocologne ill send an email so i can send screen shots
i'm getting a warning
"threat secured, moved to quarantine.." the filedownload semes incomplete "before it lands" the anitvirus detects malware in the executable.
Hi, yes, as I said in the Video that might happen, but its most likely false alert. As I don´t know every Antivirus Softwaree, I cant tell you specifically how to avoid it, but in general you need to tell the program that it should get out of quarantine.
might have happend that the slash at the end of the link got lost. Its important that this is in the link @@andreguttesen8982
I still cant download this; My virus checker blocks it. It still states " Win64:Malware-gen".
Just ignore that, its a common issue we can’t do much about now. Its no Malware or Virus.
The only problem is If I turn the virus checker off, I can download it. Then I put virus checker back on and it deletes it, even after putting an exception in.@@astrophotocologne
wont start on macos intel. on astrobin i put the details.
Yes, answered to it on astrobin. But we need a little more information.
You might need to tell your Mac to allow the software to load. From Privacy and Security tab
@@The_Druid its not working on 10.15. only for macos 11 and higher.
Pixinsight repository link no longer seems to work- get a 404 error
Did you download the newest versions? They were just released yesterday. need to upgrade GraXpert and the script as well.
@@astrophotocologne grr- I didn't realise that the URL was case sensitive! I've never come across that before. Ok it works now, thanks for your time.
I got the same error. Error 404 not available@@abmscopes
Hello Frank. As of today (1-12-24) the GraXpert website still loads version 2.2.0. Having same problem as abmscopes. I get the Error message Response code 404. Any suggestions? Thank you.@@astrophotocologne
I keep getting the following error in PixInsight everytime I try to Launch Graxpert. I think I messed up when installing the latest version of Graxpert.

It used to run, but now it fails to run. I do not know why. Desktop version works but I really want to run it in PIX. I tried Resources ---> Updates ---> reset updates but it didn't help
I updated and tested the toolbox scripts using the previous PixInsight Build. After updating to the newest version some of the scripts had an invalid code signature. For this reason I did the code sign again and now it works. @@malcolqwe2
I prepare another update, where this Script will not be code signed anymore. As a short term solution please update your PI Version or remove the Graxpert.xsgn.@@malcolqwe2
