Hi, I have an 1600 Pro and EFW populated with LGRB filters. When I take pictures with different filters, they all look the same: greyscale. I know the filter wheel is changing the filters as selected in the ASI Air PRO but all images look the same. After stacking in DSS I get a .tif file and when open in Photoshop get the message: "The document .tif does not have an embedded grayscale profile" and can choose between "Grey Gamma" (1.8 or 2.2), "sGrey", Black & White, OR "Dot Grain (10,15,20,30%). Shouldn't I be able to see an image in colour after stacking? when opened in Photoshop?... What am I doing wrong...?

Yes, all images come out as grey. In DSS (and any other image stacking application) you need to select the proper color channel for the lights. So lights taken with the B filter need to be loaded as B, with the G filter as G, etc. Then, depending on how you stack the images, you either get 4 grey images (one for B, one for G, etc) OR you get one color image. I don't know DSS at all so I cannot help you further there.

You’ll need to stack and calibrate each color separately then import them to Photoshop as color channels. It’s kind of too much to explain in a forum reply but you can watch this 2-part tutorial on the process.

Thanks WT, appreciate the pointer very much indeed.

I also watched this and now can assemble the 3 channels... Happy Days...!
