From the developer:
PIPP is a program for the pre-processing of planetary images before stacking them with applications such as Registax. You can load a sequence of images from supported video files, SER video files, etc. Image editing operations include cropping, centering the planet, calibrate frames, applying noise/gamma, and splitting color frames into R, G, and B frames.
