Auto-Stretch
Categories:
Overview
The Auto-Stretch process optimizes the intensity levels of stacked images, making them visually usable without manual adjustments.
This process is part of the Process Module pipeline and operates automatically in the background.
Configuration
The Auto-Stretch process requires no configuration from the user.
Adjustments to its behavior can be made through the Processing Panel, located on the right-hand side of the ALS interface.
Refer to the Processing Panel documentation for detailed instructions on managing the stretch intensity slider.
Control
The Auto-Stretch process is managed through the Processing Panel interface.
| Setting | Action |

Behavior
Adjusts intensity levels for optimal viewing.
- Evaluates pixel distribution based on the stacking result.
- Applies default stretch parameters configured by ALS.
- Generates a visually optimized image.
Output
A stretched image is sent to the next process in the Process Module pipeline or directly displayed in the central area of ALS.
Notes
- Auto-Stretch is typically used to improve the visibility of faint details in stacked images.
- Default parameters aim to balance intensity across various imaging scenarios.
