[lsst-dm-stack-users] Problems with "Processing a Single Image File"

[Dick Shaw]

Warning inserted.

I'm about to start a new section of this tutorial, where the butler is used to 
access images. This will be similar to the single-frame processing described 
in the "Processing Stripe 82 Images" tutorial. It's a chance to describe the 
butler and Stack data access mechanisms outside the busy context of DRP 
processing.
