Regim

05.02.2010 Version 2.4 now available for download!

What is Regim?

Regim is my software tool for processing astronomical images.
Regim is not meant to replace complex image processing systems like Adobe Photoshop or others. It is meant as an addition to them. It makes some processing steps that are unique to astronomical images a bit easier. These steps are calibration (dark and flat), deblooming, registration, combination, color calibration, gradient removal and some more.
Installation and usage is at your own risk.
Regim is free and may be used in unchanged form. However if you find it useful please feel free to make a small donation.

Please send me an email for details.

I would be happy to receive some feedback about the software.

Supported file formats:

• Uncompresse TIFF-RGB and TIFF greyscale (8 or 16 Bit per channel)
• FITS-Files
• JPG-Files

Installation requirements:

Regim is completely written in Java and should therefore run on any plattform with a Java runtime environment (JRE) Version 1.5.0 or higher. It was tested under WinXP professional and several Linux installations.
