Hello, I have a problem with saving, whatever I choose (jepg or tiff), the image is not processed. What am I doing wrong?

[@tullyfisher]

Do you get any error message?

[@DegeaVR]

@@tullyfisherJust simple warning: The TIFF format does not suport some existing data in this image: Display function (STF)

[@tullyfisher]

Ah, I see. That's because STF does not change the content of your image. It's just a kind of preview of a stretched image. To save as a Tiff please do the "actual stretch" using Histogramm transformation process. (16:55 in the video). Otherwise please save as Pixinsights XISF file format before stretching.
I also found a helpful post in the Pixinsight forum: "the new PI-centric file format called XISF can remember the screen stretch and re-apply it when you re-open the file. since TIFF can't do this, PI is warning you that you'll lose the STF information" pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?threads/stf-autostretch-not-being-saved-to-a-tiff.12069/
Hope That helps! CS

​@@tullyfisher Thank you very much, I understand now, too bad, it was easy with STF :), now it saves.

[@tullyfisher]
