Image Adjustments

Montaris-X provides non-destructive image adjustments to help you visualize structures in your scientific images. Adjustments affect only the display — your original image data is never modified.

Adjustment Controls​

Access adjustments from the Adjustments Panel in the right sidebar.

Brightness​

Shift the overall luminance of the image up or down. Useful for images that are too dark or washed out.

Contrast​

Increase or decrease the difference between light and dark regions. Higher contrast makes edges and boundaries easier to see.

Exposure​

Simulates camera exposure adjustment. Particularly useful for 16/32-bit images where the full dynamic range may not be visible at default settings.

Gamma​

Non-linear brightness correction. Values below 1.0 brighten shadows while preserving highlights. Values above 1.0 darken midtones.

Smart Auto​

Click Smart Auto to automatically optimize brightness, contrast, and gamma based on the image histogram. Works well for:

  • Under-exposed fluorescence images
  • Low-contrast histology sections
  • 16-bit images with narrow intensity ranges

Quick Boost​

One-click enhancement that applies a moderate contrast and brightness boost. Less aggressive than Smart Auto — good for images that just need a slight lift.

Reset​

Click Reset to return all adjustments to their default values.

Notes​

  • All adjustments are non-destructive — the original pixel data is preserved
  • Adjustments apply to the display only and do not affect exported ROI masks
  • Adjustments are saved with your session and restored on reload
