[fitsbits] Re: FITS support within ACDSee

[Bob Denny]

Rob --

I'm an avid ACDSee user (for a couple of years now). And I work with FITS
files all the time. With that said, I'll caution you about FITS. It's "big",
there are jillion variations, and many images need some sort of processing to
be visually usable. At a minimum, you'd need to make a brightness histogram
and do an intensity stretch to bring out the image. People will argue with you
that you didn't do it "right> So you'd need to provide controls... there's
much more.

I'd recommend you pass on it. It most probably won't add to your revenue
enough to justify the development and support costs.
