To create a 2D projection:

  1. From the main softWoRx menu, choose View | Quick Projection to open the Quick Projection window.

  2. In the Input field, enter an image file name or window number.

  3. To include only selected data, click Details to open the Region Details window. Then specify the ranges of data that you want to include in the Output Options fields.

  4. Select which wavelengths to include.

  5. Choose how to group sections as follows:

    To group sequential sets of sections into output sections, specify how many input sections to average for each output section in Number of Sections to Average.
    -or-
    To group all of the sections into one section, select All.

  6.  In the Method option list, choose one of the following ways to combine the sections:

    To add the intensity of each pixel to create the output values, choose Sum. (Be careful when using this option. If the output intensity values are too large for the output data type specified, the output image will look strange, due to saturation.)
    -or-
    To average the input data values to create the output image, choose Average.
    -or-
    To use the largest intensity value of all the input intensities to create an output value, choose Max Intensity. (This method may give you the most realistic impression of a volume rendered image, especially when combining all of the images in the input data set.)

  7. Click Do It. The projected image is displayed in a new Image window.
