I want to do some testing on a camera. Can I stack some darks and flats then use them to calibrate a single daytime terestrial photo?
I have tried by my regural routine however it tells me there is no image to stack even though I have it checked.

The stack method: "Calibration only" should work for a single daytime image. That will apply a dark and flat correction.

Need me to post the crash report or maybe send you the files? I already stacked the darks and flat so it would be pretty small.

Yes send me the files. That is easiest way to find the bug :)

This should have a stacked dark, flat with bias ofset already done. There is just one light frame.

I see the problem now. Since there is only one file it is not converted to FITS. Then it tries to calibrate with the .ORF file which doesn't work.

I will fix it but the easiest temporary fix is to add a second file or copy the first file in Windows and load that as well in the lights tab. Then it works.

Okk Ill do that. Sound like an easy enough work aound. Though for the perpos of data integrity I wonder if it is better to wait for you fix. Ill do the work around for now.

The fix is done but I want to release a little later with other possible changes. Too many versions where issued in the last weeks.

Left most is calibrated. Center is with defualt RAW file and right one is DJI noise reduced thought it looks cartoony to me.
