I was recently watching the latest video from Lukomatic on OSC processing of M31. He mentioned using a script from Bill Blanshan, HT stretch linked RGB, I could have the name wrong, but close, supposedly there’s a linked version and an unlinked version. I’ve looked on their website and cannot find the link to the script or even a description of it. Does anyone know where a person might get the script. Luke doesn’t have a link to the script and only mentions it in his video around 16min.

That’s the process. Thanks, Rob, I knew somebody out there knew where this was. I mean I use EZStretch and GHS as well as histo stretch, I saw that on Luke’s channel and was curious. Thanks again, one more tool in the box.
