Movie export
The stack export tool allows to easily export RGB TIFF-stacks for presentations from the currently loaded dataset. For this, one can simply select the channel(s) to be exported, select a ROI set of the available analyses, and select a color look-up table, or, assign per-channel colors. Annotations are automatically displayed, if activated in the dataset settings.
The live preview on the right side of the export dialog always shows how the result is going to look and allows to scroll through the stack.
Fine-tune each individual channel to maximize the visual impact. The multi-channel histogram helps you to set the optimal brightness and contrast for each individual channel. In addition, you can use gamma correction to put more emphasis on details, without clamping image values.
The brightness adjustment dialog also allows you to pick individual colors for each channel.
All adjustments made in this dialog have no effect on data processing and analysis. These adjustments are only for visualization.
You can choose to either export your movies to either an RGB-TIFF file, or, directly as a video file. MSparkles sipports the following formats:
