The Image Analyzer, also known as winimage, may be opened from within Desktop Radiance starting from Radiance—>Tools—>Image Analyzer, or by double clicking on the Image Analyzer icon created by the install program.
Figure 1. The Image Analyzer Dialog Box
The Image Analyzer displays and allows for analysis of Radiance images. Radiance images are saved with the default extension .pic. You may also convert images (save as) so they can be read by other imaging, paint, or presentation programs. All commands operating within winimage, with the exception of redraw, will result in a new image file being created.
The file naming convention in winimage is adding "_" and an abbreviation of the executed command, i .e. "fls" for falsecolor. Thus, if falsecolor is performed on drawing.pic, the resulting falsecolor image will be drawing_fls.pic. If an annotation is performed on drawing_fls.pic, then the resulting image will be drawing_fls_ann.pic. The original drawing.pic is not overwritten. However, if falsecolor is performed on the same image twice, the second version will overwrite the earlier one.
