PI Workflow is a comprehensive astrophotography processing interface that unifies the entire post-processing pipeline into a single environment. It organizes the processing steps dynamically while eliminating the clutter of dozens of temporary preview windows. It is designed to provide a smooth, structured transition from linear pre-processing to nonlinear stretching, star splitting, and final channel combination.
Universal Shared Preview Canvas
A single, high-performance, interactive preview panel shared across all tabs and tools. No more workspace clutter. Slider adjustments update in real-time via downsampling, with full-resolution calculations occurring only when you commit changes.
Interactive Split-Screen (Split View)
Divide the preview canvas with a vertical slider to inspect and compare "before" (original source) and "after" (processed candidate) details in real-time.
Multi-Algorithm Comparison Grid
Run and compare multiple tools simultaneously (e.g. ABE, DBE, and GraXpert for gradients; or BlurXTerminator and LHE for sharpening) in an integrated comparison grid.
8-Slot Transient Memory
Save up to 8 processing stages per tab and toggle between them instantly with simple left/right clicks to evaluate subtle parameter adjustments.
