Dear John, When I renamed the files to .palette with my Windows caret version, it did not work. I can try this with the linux platform later today. Jill

Your tutorials were very helpful for getting started with Caret (thank you!), but I've encountered a difficulty with my slice images. The images were given to me in a CorelDraw file, in which a fine-lined measurement grid has been superimposed on each slice. I exported the individual slices to 1561x1219pixel tiff files, each of which covers an area of 25x20mm with a resolution of 150x150dpi. When I load the tiff files into Caret, they are displayed at a lower resolution (even when the display window is maximized), causing some of the grid lines to fade or disappear, and making it difficult to see features of the smaller slices for tracing. Zooming using the middle mouse button in "View" mode doesn't seem to affect the resolution of the slice images. Are there any options for adjusting the scale at which the images are displayed? Thanks, -- Ed Craft ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 07:32:46 -0600 (CST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [caret-users] Displaying histological sections in Caret To: "Edward Craft " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Caret, SureFit, and SuMS software users" <caret-users@brainvis.wustl.edu> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Hi Dr. Craft, John Harwell won't be in until a little later today, but I wanted to be sure the problem wasn't with the exported tiff images. Have you tried viewing the exported tiff images with a viewer other than Caret (e.g., PhotoShop)? Which operating system are you using? Many Linux distributions have a graphics viewing utility named "gimp"; I'm not sure what the corresponding utility would be for MacOSX. If you have viewed the exported tiff images in another graphics software package, and you don't see the resolution problem in that viewer, then you have made sure the problem doesn't lie with the tiff images themselves. One thing worth trying is to export them in another file format (e.g., jpg). Try converting just one slice, and see how it looks in Caret.

I use caret to display group analyses from AFNI, so I make metric files of my AFNI maps. I also use AFNI's palette (*.pal) files so that the clusters stay the same colors across different displays. The problem is I could not open an AFNI palette file in version 5.1. The open file dialog looks for a *.palette file and not a *.pal file. How can I use the palette I create in AFNI with caret? I would like the clusters to be the same colors in my pictures from AFNI and my pictures from caret.

Zooming does not affect the image. You will probably need to export your slices into a lower resolution image file, perhaps 800 x 600. ---------------------------------------------------------- John Harwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] 314-362-3467 Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology Washington University School of Medicine 660 S.

If not, send the palette file directly to me so that I can determine why Caret will not read it. I will then make a newer version of Caret5 available to you. ---------------------------------------------------------- John Harwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] 314-362-3467 Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology Washington University School of Medicine 660 S.
