The ESA/ESO/NASA FITS Liberator Description

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) Liberator is an free application which provides you with significant and advanced image processing options for handling FITS and PDS files. The main aim is compression of the huge dynamic range (or amount of greyscales) present in astronomical images, so that they can be viewed on standard output devices such as computer screens. The FITS Liberator is not an automatic application but is meant to make the iterative process of producing cutting-edge colour imagery from world-class telescopes as optimal as possible in terms of quality and speed.The output from FITS Liberator is a TIFF file, which the user may open in any TIFF supporting image processing software like, e.g., Photoshop or The GIMP.The FITS Liberator has four sections accessed by the four tabs along the top of its window. The Processing tab contains all of the image import settings. The Metadata tab allows users to enter descriptive information that will be embedded into the image. The FITS Header tab allows users to view the contents of the header of the image. The Help Guide provides a short introduction and usage instructions.Detailed instructions on how to install and use the The ESA/ESO/NASA FITS Liberator utility on your Mac are available HERE.The ESA/ESO/NASA FITS Liberator is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X and Windows. Binaries for the Windows platform are available on the project's homepage.
