Hi Bill and All,

Now that the in testing update has become official, and all bugs fixed, let me ask you some improvement in the display of DSS images.
Hereunder his a message Bill wrote on the Guide list, on july 2005:

I did want all of the CD-based images to be simultaneously adjusted,
since (usually) they have similar pixel values. However, there are some
regions where the pixel values are wildly off from what they ought to be.
I may further revise the contrast/brightness adjustment scheme to allow
for this. (I'd also like to include schemes such as logarithmic vs.
square-root vs. histogram-equalization, and maybe some pseudo-color
effects.)

Your last phrase leads me, Bill, to ask you these questions:
1) do you think this pretty big improvement, has a chance to be made.. one day, since a logarithmic scheme fits much better the visual aspect of deep sky objects. Same for vs. square-root and vs histogram-equalization
2) if not, there is a way to reduce the steps (i.e. leap of quantity) when you increase or reduce contrast/brightness ?

Best regards

Bertrand
