Using individual color channels (3D)

Overview

Channel panel functions

Channel controls in the 3D environment enable you to view all color channels in your image or quickly select/deselect individual color channels for display.

  • All button: Click to show all color channels present in the image
  • Color buttons:
    • Click any color button to display that channel and select it as the associated color channel for structures traced or detected.
    • To change the color-channel, click to select a different one.
    • If more than one color channel or All channels are selected, (this can be done in the Image Adjustment window, but not in the Channel panel in the 3D Environment window) structures traced are not assigned to a channel.

Trace Opacity slider

  • Controls the visibility of structures traced in other channels.
  • Does not affect the appearance of structures traced in the currently selected channel.
