I have taken my Statistical Stretch script for PixInsight and ripped it out and created a stand alone program for everyone!  Load in your linear png, tiff, or fits file and stretch it with all the same feature I have in my PixInsight script! 

Clear skies and I hope everyone gets some great use out of this!
