Saving files

Feature Request

A couple of changes I would like to see :

Possibility to change the prefix : “autostack #number” to anything I like, even nothing!

Batch save all the dng or tiff files created by auto stacking all the files in a folder. I edit most of the time in dxo photolab anyway. Quick question : why are the colours very saturated when I view a macro studio dng file in dxo photolab?

Tif files are in srgb only : I would like prophoto for further editing in PS

Dust spot removal could be possible before stacking as exports as DNG from PL10 do not include dust spot removal. That would avoid streaks of dust spots in the stacked images.

Thanks, macrostudio is a great piece of software and may one day replace zerene stacker as my stacking software!

    Hi @nwinspeare - thanks for logging these! I’ll address them individually:

    1. On the first item around the Autostack filename, what are some of the things you’d want to use to name the folders? One thing I’ve thought of is using Species ID to name the folders after the species.

    2. Tell me more about batch saving the DNG/TIFF files. That’s what Autostack already does (it saves the resulting files to wherever you want it), so I’m wondering what’s missing for you today?

    3. If you’re using DxO PhotoLab, make sure you enable Camera-raw mode in Preferences —> Advanced (you’ll need the free Adobe DNG Converter installed) and save your stacks as Raw DNG. Those files should show up correctly in DXO. The MS DNG has color profile already written into it that will make it look off in PL.

    4. Yes, I’m considering using ProPhoto, it’s on my list.

    5. Dust Spot removal has been requested also — make sure you upvote and comment on this one: https://feedback.macrostudio.pro/p/dust-map-dust-reference
