RE: [APML] Benefits of Registar? (personal reply)



Kevin,
 
What kind of scanner did you use?  Even with 200 speed film, I would have thought you could capture more detail than that in 90min @ f/10.  You may need to adjust your scanner settings and then use PW or Photoshop to adjust curves and/or levels.

Subject: [APML] Benefits of Registar?

Newbie question: Can anyone explain to me what are the benefits of stacking images with Registar (besides grain reduction)?
 
I downloaded the trial version and used it to combine two good film images of M42. The reduction in grain was obvious, but otherwise I didn't see any big improvements.
 
Will stacking images with Registar bring out more contrast or fainter details? I have a decent film image of M51 (it's no Tony Hallas or Rob Gendler), but I would like to improve the image contrast (darken the sky background) without losing the fainter details, as well as just bringing out more of the faint stuff. Here it is if anyone wants to look at it: http://home.twcny.rr.com/kevinwigell/images/M51b.jpg (I told you it was no Tony or Rob). This is 90 minutes on RG200, unhypered, 10" LX200 f/10. Can I expect to get more of the faint stuff if I stack it with more similar images?
