Processing tools

The Process tab in a Viewer’s Inspector holds ordinary image processing: a Gaussian blur, an Otsu threshold, a watershed, a Pearson’s R. They run in your browser, instantly, at no compute cost, and each one lands as a layer you can toggle, reorder, duplicate or delete. Your file on disk never changes.

For example
FiltersGaussian Blur, Median Filter, Unsharp Mask
NoiseDespeckle, Add Noise, Salt & Pepper
Edge detectionSobel, Canny, Laplacian
Binary / thresholdOtsu Threshold, Adaptive Threshold, Erosion
MorphologyTop Hat, Bottom Hat, Morphological Gradient
ColourRGB → Grayscale, RGB → HSV, Extract Channel
Math / intensityNormalize, Histogram Equalization, Invert
GeometricFlip Horizontal, Rotate 90°, Rotate 180°
SegmentationConnected Components, Analyze Particles, Marker Watershed
Frequency / FFTFFT Magnitude, Bandpass Filter, Inverse FFT
ColocalizationPearson’s R, Manders M1/M2

Image viewers get all eleven. Video and DICOM viewers get the ones that make sense for them.

Open Controls → Process, find the tool (the search box matches names), and press the play button to run it with defaults or the chevron to set parameters. If you have drawn a region, the tool applies only inside it — the toast says Running Gaussian Blur on the selection.

The result appears in Layers. Run another tool and it stacks on top. To compare two settings, duplicate the layer from the Layers window and change one.
