    DStretch Suggested Work Flow

    1. Open ImageJ
    2. Open your image
    3. Open DStretch Plugin
    4. If colors are need to be adjusted, use Adj Col button to smooth colors

    ⁃ Smoothing colors will help in noisy image


    5. Use Auto Contrast button to optimize image content. Sometimes this helps and at others
    it doesn’t. The Reset button will undo the Auto Contrast. If it helps save the image.
    6. Choose DStretch Enhancement

    ⁃ See Table for assistance is selecting colorspace

    ⁃ See Operating DStretch

    ⁃ Use the Flat button to flatten the illumination of the image


    7. If the colors are wild or a background color is interfering with the visualization, then use
    the Reset button to undo the DStretch and proceed with steps 9, 10, and 11. Otherwise
    proceed to step 11.
    8. If colors are wild, use AdjCol button

    ⁃ Reducing saturation can tame wild colors produced by DStretch


    9. If a background color is interfering with the visualization or the DStretch enhancements,
    use CB button
    10. Go to step 6
    11. Use the MATRIX button to save the matrix and colorspace in a text file for reference and
    future use.

    NOTES on other Buttons:


    • Save Saves the current image as a jpeg Quality is determined by the ImageJ jpeg quality
    default. When the image is saved this number appears on the top of the image following
    the file name. You can also use the Save in the Expert mode set the quality.

    Operating DStretch

    I find that DStretch really stretches my imagination since it can and does so many wonderful and
    helpful things. After several days of brut force I started reading and outlining. The approach I am
    going to outline is what I finally believe is a repeatable and organized approach to finding what is
    not apparent. By its nature it is iterative.

    At this point you should have completed the first six steps of the DStretch Suggested work Flow.

    1. Use the Cycle button to select only the General Purpose colorspaces LDS, LAB, YDS,
    YUV. Unfortunately RGB is the only General Purpose color space not listed. This should
    help you see what you might want to refine. Also this should provide the feedback to
    determine if you need to reduce or increase saturation (Step 9) or adjust the color balance
    (Step 10).
    2. Once you have determined what the Saturation and color balance are good and you know
    the color of the subject of interest, then run the appropriate colorspaces using the table.
    In a more orderly world the choices would be grouped for what they are “Good For” so I
    could concentrate on the image.
