    LPI Help

    I need help with my LPI.  When I take shots I can see them on the screen just fine and go between live and taken shots with no problem.  However, later when I open the files again that have been stored the image only appears as static...white fuzz.  Am I doing something wrong?  Help please!

    Likely, the file is fine but you need to stretch the data. In the histogram, try moving the pointers.

    What program do you open the files with after you are done taking them? If you use Registax, you may have a problem like that. I know when I use registax, the image appears alot brighter. Something that is barely discernable when taking a picture suddenly becomes extremely evident when opening through this program. Also, when you are viewing "live", make sure that after the mage is taken to open in LPI first, just to make sure it took. It's funny b/c if you stack through LPI, it generally should show you the finished product automatically.
