Why HSB Stack after recording Color Thresholder

[Andrew Sanchez]

When I run the autogenerated macro I got after adjusting the Color Threshold, I get a sequence of events which does no appear to replicate what I have done while recording the macro.  Why does the autogenerated macro include

run("HSB Stack");
run("Convert Stack to Images");

Does this happen "behind the scenes" when I adjust the color threshold?  after the Color Thresholding macro runs, I end up with a black and white image, which I think is due to the run("Convert to Mask");


I'm sure this is pretty basic stuff, but I'm still trying to grock the basics

Thank you!

One more thing:  It would be helpful, if after running the Color Thresholding macro, I can get my original image displayed with the Threshold Color window open (with the values set in the macro), so that I can adjust the threshold if necessary.  Is this possible?

Hi,
The color threshold command "Macro" button generates a macro that replicates
the results obtained when you adjust the sliders after selecting the B/W
'threshold color' in the applet panel (which is the case of a thresholded
result).
For other options you will probably need to combine that result with the
original using the Image Calculator (e.g. AND OR, etc).
Cheers
Gabriel
