Recommended workflow

  1. Open the linear or semi-linear result in AIT Stretch Studio.
  2. Use STF-like auto stretch as a starting point, then choose Hyperbolic, ArcSinh, HDR Local or Masked Stretch.
  3. Compare with side-by-side, swipe or blink before committing.
  4. Send the result to Gradient Doctor, Star Separator, Noise Doctor or Blur Doctor when a specialist correction is needed.
  5. Return the full-resolution result to Stretch Studio and continue processing.
  6. Export as TIFF, PNG or FITS when the result is ready.
