GUI overview



The screenshot above was taken during a Jupiter recording run with the old Fc 2.6.08 version. With one exception (color/mono switching), the plugin operation and its look and feel is similar in both 2.6 and 2.7 FC branches.

The leftmost Jupiter image is FireCaptures live stream ROI preview. The four red dots show that FCs 'Auto align' feature is active, this is reccommended to provide the the best possible alingment for the stacking process. On the right, the main PEAAnuts window can be seen, with the minimally prestacked stream preview, the cross section graph and the evaluation data in the bottom line. The window in the middle is the PEAAnuts live stack window. A scaling factor of 150% is set for live stack display, also, the brightness is increased a bit with the image editor (the small square window left of the live stacking frame). Below the Jupiter images, two dialogs are open, the stacking and the postprocessing options. Usually, postprocessing options are adjusted once and then left as they are for the live stacking session. In the live stacking frame, below the image, the frame quality graph and current frame acceptance rate can be seen.

The available features are explained step by step in the subsequent chapters.
