No, the 80% problem seems to be happening at image acquisition time. The raw images start to appear bloated and unnatural up at that level. Maybe a good...

Hi Andre, When you say that you find 80% is too high, is that because the histogram will saturate during processing? If that's the case, then maybe the...

Hi Rolf, Thanks for the feedback. I've found 80% to be too high when imaging with the Lumenera and usually keep it under 50%. Bright or faint, there seems to...

Hi Rolf, In a low-light situation, I think the extra resolution of the Lumenera comes in handy. For instance, I did some experiments where I set the gain so...

Hi Allen, 16-bit significance only comes into play once the images are stacked. Only the Lumenera does better than 8-bit (up to 12-bit) but I never use it in...
