Blend Dialog Box (Image Tool)
Blends two images together.
Click here for more information on blending.
Operand—Select a variable to blend with the current variable.
a—Enter a scaling factor for the first image.
b—Enter a scaling factor for the second image.
Create New Image—Select this option to store the result in a new image variable.
Overwrite Image—Select this option to overwrite the current image with the result.
Operation—The Operation feature lets you modify the image and operand variables before the mathematical operation (blending) is performed.
Conj.—This button is only active if an image composed of complex data is loaded. Selecting the Conj button takes the complex conjugate of the image and/or operand variable. The complex conjugate is taken before the algebraic operation is performed. The conjugate is calculated using the PV-WAVE function CONJ. Alog—Selecting the Alog button takes the natural logarithm of the image and/or operand variable. The natural log is taken before the algebraic operation is performed. The natural log is computed using the Image Processing Toolkit function IPALOG. Zero negatives—When this option is selected, negative values in the resulting array are set to zero.
Clipping—This option prevents underflow or overflow conditions by increasing the size of the output image data type.
Variable Suffix—If the Create New Image option is selected, enter a suffix for the new image variable name. This suffix is added to the original variable name.
OK—Blend the variables and exit the dialog box.
Apply—Blend the variables, but do not exit the dialog box.
Cancel—Dismiss the dialog box without taking any action.
Help—Display online Help on the dialog box.
