Edit Acquisition

On the Edit Acquisition page, you can edit image Acquisitions, including flipping, rotating, cropping, and changing which channels are displayed. The original images are preserved.

To open the Edit Acquisition page from the Image Gallery, double click an Acquisition or select the Acquisition and click Edit Acquisition.

The following options are available on the Edit Acquisition page.

Change Which Image Channels Are Displayed

In the table under the image view, click to stop displaying an image channel.

Click to display a channel that is currently not displayed.

Edit Name or Comment

To change the Name or Comment for the Acquisition, enter new text in the Name or Comment field. Changes are automatically saved.

Changing the Name or Comment metadata does not create a new Acquisition.

Because Acquisitions will have the same image ID before and after modification (cropping, rotating, etc.), renaming the modified Acquisition can help you keep track of it. For example, you could rename "0000342" to "0000342-cropped" after cropping. You can also click above the table to add the Modifications column, which displays the modifications that have been made to Acquisitions.

Crop or Perform Other Transformation

1. In the Edit as New section, click an option.

   The change you make will be applied to all images in the Acquisition.

2. Click Save as New when you are finished making the change.

   A new Acquisition will be created, and the original Acquisition will be preserved.

Free Rotate

The Transform option provides quick options for rotating images 90 or 180 degrees. The Free Rotate option allows you to rotate images in smaller increments.
