Main interface

When launching Siril, the main interface opens.

备注

Click anywhere onto the image below to display its functions.

Main interface

Image area

This area displays the currently loaded image. Click on Red, Green or Blue to switch between the different layers (color images only, a single BW tab is available for mono images).

Right-click on the image to display a contextual menu:

右击

小技巧

When no image is loaded, double-clicking on the image area pops the Open dialog.

Undo

Undoes the most recent operation.

Redo

Redoes the most recently undone operation.

点扩散函数(PSF)

Computes a PSF for the current selection and carries out quick photometry.

PSF for the Sequence

计算当前序列中所有图像的当前选区的 PSF。

Pick a Star

Applies star detection to the current selection. The result is opened in the Dynamic PSF dialog. Note this operation is more lenient than the full image star finder routine as it assumes that you have picked a selection containing a star: it can therefore be used to pick stars that have been missed by the full image star finder function.

Selection

Applies constraints to the selection box.

Crop

Provides an interface to the Crop and Crop & rotate functions.

小技巧

If a CFA image is loaded, the crop will be constrained to a CFA boundary so that the effective CFA pattern is unchanged for future operations. For Bayer CFA patterns this means the crop selection will snap to a multiple of 2x2 and may shift by up to 1 pixel in x and y directions in order to align with the Bayer pattern start. For X-Trans patters the crop selection will snap to a multiple of 6x6 and may shift by up to 5 pixels in each direction.

警告

Rotating a CFA image by arbitrary angles will destroy the CFA pattern: you should progress your workflow to the point where the CFA pattern has been debayered or Bayer drizzled before doing anything that applies rotation or scaling.

ROI

Provides an interface to set or clear the Region of Interest for ROI processing. Note: this menu entry is not available if the ROI mode is set to "Automatic from selection" in the UI preferences tab.

RGB 对齐

Aligns the image RGB channels. This supports a range of registration methods for alignment:

  • 2-pass global star alignment This uses the 2-pass global star alignment routine with COG framing (so the image dimensions are preserved). This algorithm adjusts with 8 degrees of freedom so it can correct for image shift, rotation and skew. This is the recommended algorithm for images containing stars. This algorithm is global and does not require a selection to be made.

  • KOMBAT alignment This uses the KOMBAT alignment method. It is primarily intended for planetary alignment, but can also work for deep space images. It provides shift registration only, but is fast. This algorithm requires a selection to be made.

  • One star registration This is an older algorithm that provides shift-only registration based on the movement of a single star. This is very fast but the registration cannot cope with as many degrees of freedom as the 2-pass global star alignment. It may be suitable if you are certain you only need to correct for image shift. This algorithm requires a single star to be selected.

  • Image pattern alignment This method performs alignment using the image Fourier transforms. It works for deep space and planetary images but provides only shift registration and is quite slow. This algorithm uses a square selection: a selection must be made, and non-square selections will be corrected to be square.

警告

The tool is RGB align. It is not intended for, and will not work for, aligning unaligned LRGB compositions. In order to do this you must either align the layers to be composed before composition, or align using the RGB alignment tool.

Information bar

This bar displays the current version of Siril and the path to the current working directory.

  • To the right, informationabout available RAM and disk space id also given.

  • You can change the available number of threads used by Siril using the +/- signs.

保存

These buttons are used to save your results:

  • save (overwrites) the current image.

  • save with a different name and/or extension.

    starnet dialog

    Save dialog box.

    The drop-down list at the bottom right allows you to choose the type of image recorded. It automatically adds the extension to the file name. However, by staying in the Supported Image Files mode, it is possible to add any extension supported by Siril by hand and it will save in the correct file format.

  • take a snapshot of the current view (as seen on the screen, meaning preview strecthing, if any, is applied). There are two possible options. Either the snapshot is saved in the clipboard, or directly copied to the disk in the working directory.

  • change the bitdepth of the current image. The choice is between 16-bit and 32-bit.

Mouse behaviour

Siril uses GTK primary, secondary and middle mouse button mappings. These are usually mapped to left, right and middle (scroll wheel button) physical mouse buttons, however they may be mapped differently in specific setups (e.g. left-handed users may have configured swapped left and right buttons).

  1. Primary mouse button

    The primary mouse button is used for a number of purposes:

    • To select areas of the image

    • With Ctrl pressed (or Cmd on MacOS), to pan the image

    • When the intensity profiling tool is active, to drag the line along which the intensity profile is to be drawn, and to select points corresponding to known wavelengths / wavenumbers in the spectroscopy setting

    • In the RGB composition tool, to select the rotation center when using manual alignment

    • In the gradient removal tool, to draw samples

    • In photometry mode, to perform photometry on a star

    • To select the positions for the registration previews

    • Double clicking the primary mouse button with no image loaded will bring up the Open dialog.

  2. Secondary mouse button

    The secondary mouse button is used for a number of purposes:

    • To bring up the image context menu (except when in photometry mode)

    • In the gradient removal tool, to remove samples

    • In photometry mode, to perform photometry on the selected star for all frames of the currently loaded sequence (if no sequence is loaded, this has no effect)

  3. Middle mouse button

    The middle mouse button is used for the following purposes:

    • To pan the image at the current zoom level

    • With Ctrl pressed (or Cmd on MacOS), to make a square selection suitably sized for photometry

    • Double clicking adjusts the zoom level to a preset value. The behaviour is configurable in the User Interface tab in the Preferences dialog. The choices are:

      • Always zoom to fit

      • Always zoom to 100% centered on the mouse cursor

      • Toggle between zoom to fit and zoom to 100% centered on the mouse cursor

  4. Scroll wheel

    • The scroll wheel is used to adjust the zoom level.

Command line

Type in a command and press Enter.

  • You can press the button at the end of the line to get some help on the usage.

  • You can also abort the process being currently executed by clicking on the Stop button.

Image sliders

Use the top and bottom sliders to adjust the white and black points of the previewed image (in Linear mode).

小技巧

Click on the name of the Image or Sequence loaded to copy its name to the clipboard (useful to paste in a command).

Back to figure

Preview mode

Select the preview mode for the loaded image, between the following choices:

  • 线性

  • 对数

  • Square root

  • 平方

  • 反双曲正弦

  • Autostretch (tick the High Definition box to use a deeper (up to 24-bit, configurable in Preferences) LUT instead of the default 16-bit one)

  • 直方图

In Autostretch mode with color images, the toggle to the right activates/deactivates channel linking. When unlinked, the 3 layers are stretched independantly so as to give a more balanced image.

警告

This is just a preview of the image, not the actual data (except if Linear mode is selected). Do not forget to stretch your images before saving them.
