Day 6

Well Joe and Nadya weren’t here this morning and so I finished making the PTMs with the MATLab program with Red, Green and Blue channel images. They told me to figure out the difference between ImageJ images and MATLab images, so I went and looked at the property’s of the first picture in each group, the original picture from the camera, the ImageJ picture and the MATLab picture. The only difference I could find was in the ImageJ file description, there was a subject and a title that the other pictures didn’t have.

The MATLab program on the other hand didn’t work out as planned. The program only saved 1/3 of the picture so it only showed on the PTM as 1/3 of the width. Glenn came up and spent time explaining this to us.

The problem with the program was that the picture that we imported was being divided into the 3 channels (red, green, blue) and then saved as that layer. The red picture was now just one red layer, making the PTM program show the picture as 1/3 its width, because its only 1 out of the 3 layers.

The solution was before saving the documents the documents make the red picture 3 layers of the red layer. so make the same layer 3 times.

That was my day. I went home after that J
