Creating, Editing, Saving and Loading PixInsight Process Icons: Part 1

#1

Post by STEVE333 »


The link below is to a tutorial that shows how to Create, Edit, Save and Load PixInsight Process Icons. This was the single biggest step in my learning how to use PixInsight. Once I found a sequence of processes that produced a good result I could save the processes by creating an icon for each process and then save the group of icons. Saving the icons not only preserved the order of the processes but also all the settings for each individual process! If this isn't clear hopefully the video below will make it clear.
