Hi all,

We are glad to announce the release of a new image processing tool on the PixInsight platform: MultiscaleAdaptiveStretch.

MultiscaleAdaptiveStretch (MAS, for short) is an image delinearization (stretching) tool based on statistical and multiscale analysis. MAS implements a set of rigorous, robust, yet easy-to-use, image stretching, contrast recovery, and color saturation algorithms within a dedicated PixInsight process with full real-time and static preview capabilities. Thanks to its robustness and adaptability, MAS enables entirely automated processing. The MAS algorithms were designed by Vicent Peris, and the implementation was authored by Roberto Sartori. The documentation was written by Edoardo Luca Radice and Vicent Peris.

The MAS module and its reference documentation are now available as regular updates to PixInsight 1.9.3 Lockhart on all supported platforms.

For complete information with examples, see the official announcement on the PixInsight Development forum.

Wishing you all the best and clear skies for the New Year.

The PixInsight Team at Pleiades Astrophoto
