I've been doing some reading on the technical details of DSS while we all eagerly await the stacking module in ST (whenever that may be
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif)
I've been experimenting with dcraw to remove the white balance before stacking, using either bi-linear or AHD interpolation.
Now after some reading, I've noticed that DSS has two non-interpolation options - RGGB Super Pixels and Bayer Drizzle.
So, this leads to a two part question, in the interest of linear, virgin frames:
1) Is it better to accept a less-effective debayering using dcraw to avoid the white balance [what causes more harm - white balance or bad debayering?]
2) If the non-interpolation options are better, even though we need to use the RAW white balance, are super pixels or bayer drizzle the way to go?
I'm using a Rebel SL1 (18MP) if that makes a difference - I could afford the 1/4 image reduction [so 9MP?] if necessary.
Cheers!

EDIT: Just had another thought. What about using the -h parameter with dcraw -r 1 1 1 1 to create non-white balanced, bayer super pixels?
