Title: Alternatives to photoshop's "median" layer stack process?
Post by: earlybird on May 13, 2016, 12:50:53 pm

Hi,
I would like to try the process made available in Photoshop's smart object median layer stacking function but I do not have CC or a PS extended license.

Is there a cheap 16 bit utility or plugin that I can try?

Thank you.

Thank you for your informative reply.

I had stumbled upon the second link this morning and was able to try a few median processes with Imagemagick.

I will try to get some experience with DeepSkyStacker tomorrow.

Thank you.
