Hi again,

so I took the time to look through the script and experiment with some images.
It seems to work very well for what I have in mind.
Do you know if there is a documentation about how the program is finding the peaks exactly?
I'm not talking about a manual, I'm just interested about the method the script is using.
I did some thinking and from my interpretation, the best results would be achieved if the individual peaks were the result of a Gaussian or a Lorentz fit (so instead of the absolute peak, I would be looking for the mean of the fitted density function), rather than just searching for the highest points of the curve.
Do you know if the script works like that or maybe if there's an addon or script that does?
In any case, this script is already helping me a lot, so thanks.
