Canvas X with Scientific Imaging

Perform visual analysis of scientific images containing up to 32 bits of floating point pixel data per channel, including the industry standard DICOM file format.
Canvas X with Scientific Imaging incorporates a wide array of tools to accurately measure, analyze, import, and export digital images with up to 32 bits of floating point pixel data per channel. This edition opens up a world of possibilities for life scientists, researchers, engineers, students, astronomers, and other professionals who regularly gather and analyze data from scientific imagers, scanners, and custom data collection instruments. Graphic design professionals attached to these fields can also benefit greatly from these new capabilities.
Canvas X with Scientific Imaging adds support for 8/16/FP32 depth images, over a dozen Image-J and NIH Image compliant filters, direct access to the Image Data Viewer tool , and support for industry standard DICOM format files.

Other scientific imaging features

• Native support for images with 8-bit, 16-bit and Real (FP32) data per channel. No need to "dumb down" the data to fit within the capabilities of "art-centric" graphics products.
• New Image Data Viewer tool provides direct numeric access to image data. Define the area of interest, copy, paste, and view data in hexadecimal, signed and unsigned decimal, FP-2, FP-4, and FP-8 Decimal formats.
• New Binary Filters are accessible from the Image menu and SpriteEffects menu, including: Close, Dilate, Distance Map, Erode, Make Binary, Open, Outline, Skeletonize, Ultimate Points.
• New Scientific Filters are accessible from the Image menu or SpriteEffects menu: Arithmetic, Binary Logic, Convolve, Expression, and Image Math (use image data as variables in mathematical equations).
• Plus, Colorize: Which lets you use the Colorize filter to reveal details in grayscale images that are invisible to the naked eye. Invaluable with 16-bit and FP32 images since these carry much more information than the eye can see.
• Direct import and export 8-bit, 16-bit, and FP32 Real image data in RAW format using ASCII or Binary options.
• Direct import of DICOM format image files.

• Professional drawing features
  Benefit from fully editable dimensioning lines and image warp commands that transform images mathematically into complex shapes. Get unlimited and customizable ruler and scale settings that meet your advanced engineering, architectural, and scientific illustration needs. Unleash waveform and 2D math expression plotting tools. Plus, use Symbol Libraries to instantly access dynamic objects or illustrations and other objects either from within the application or from the Internet.
• Enhanced image editing
  Canvas X provides support for 8 and 16 image pixel depths per channel. It also comes with central management for all inks (colors, gradients, hatches, textures, symbols and patterns), pen styles (plain, calligraphic, neon, and parallel), dash settings, and arrow styles. Annotation tools make quick work of drawing callouts. The Red-Eye Reduction tool gives you one-touch freedom or manual precision. And, the combined Crop & Scale command lets you adjust image resolution and proportions in one operation.
• A user friendly, dynamic interface
  Canvas X presents the right tools for your current activities and anticipates what you are most likely to need next…saving you time. This efficient workflow is achieved through the Smart Toolbox and Properties Bar that track where you are in a project and display the most relevant options. Tool palettes can also be locked so they are always available. Compared to non-intuitive competitors, Canvas X is unbelievably easy to use.
• Professional publication tools and scripting, and file format support
  Get all the publishing tools you need, along with complete typographic controls and extensive slide show features. Plus, enjoy advanced scripting and file format support, including: read and write image channel data in 1-, 8-, 16-, or 32-bit format; access 32-bit image channel features like range setting and locking; improved and expanded support for 50+ file formats including CGM, DXF, SVG, PDF, AVI, Flash, HTML, and an EPS and PDF interpreter for flawless import of these key file formats.
