This method allows you to extract certain dimensions, e.g. channels, regions or time series from one image and use these extracted dimensions to create a new image. The result file is saved in your target folder.

Each of the dimensions described below is only visible if the corresponding dimension is present in the input image.

Method Parameters

Parameter

Description

Split Dimension

Depends on the loaded image.

-

None

The image is not split by any dimension. Only the ranges of the different dimensions defined below will be extracted for the new image.

-

Channels (or: Time, Scenes, etc.)

Here you can select the dimension for splitting the data set. A new file will be created in the target folder for each element of the selected dimension. The available options depend on the selected image. If your input image contains two channels, split dimension creates two output images for each channel.

Channels

Here you can select which channels of the input image you want to be used. All channels are selected by default. To deselect a channel, click on the respective channel button.

Time (or: Z-Position, Rotation, Scene, Illumination, Acquisition block, Mosaic tile, Phase, View)

-

Extract All

Activated: All elements of the corresponding dimension are extracted.

-

Extract Single

Activated: You can select a single element to be extracted.

-

Extract Range

Activated: You can select a certain range of elements to be extracted.

-

Extract Multiple

Activated: You can select several continuous ranges and individual sections.

Enter one or more sections that you want to select in the input field. To do this, enter the first section, followed by a minus sign, and then the last section. If you want to define an interval, after the last section enter a colon and then the interval. The entry "2-10:2" means that every second section is selected from section 2 to section 10.

Enter a comma after the first section if you want to define another section. You can also select individual sections separated by commas. By entering "2-10:2,14-18,20,23", you select every second section from section 2 to section10, followed by sections 14 to 18, as well as sections 20 and 23.

Region

-

Full

Takes the full region into account.

-

Rectangle Region

Takes the rectangle into account that you can draw in the 2D view. After drawing you can modify X, Y coordinates as well as width (W) and height (H) manually.

Keep tiles

Has only an effect, if a region (ROI) is defined.

Activated: Extracts the drawn in region including the complete tiles. This setting is recommended when you want to apply DCV processing functions on the resulting image.

Deactivated: Drawn ROI will cut through mosaic tiles.

Propagate ROI

Has only an effect, if a region (ROI) is defined in multi-scene images.

Activated: Applies the defined region (ROI) to all scenes.

Target Folder

Selects the folder on the disk where the images are to be saved.

Overwrite existing files

Overwrites image files.

Compression

-

Original

The output image has the same compression as the original image.

-

Compression

JPEG XR compression is applied to the output images.

Defaults

Sets the values back to default, if they have been changed.
