How do I remove unwanted artifacts from the montaged image?
It is important to ensure that the original images are as clear and free of flare as possible before performing the Scan Montage operation, by adjusting the lighting or optical system. Increasing (or occasionally decreasing) the number of source images captured for a particular size of sample may also improve the results. Experiment with adjusting the montage operation’s patch size and filter, as described in FAQ 006 and with the Scan Montage command. The montaging process occasionally selects unwanted features on a plane which confuse the generated image. This may be corrected manually by using the edit tools (Edit Menu or Edit Toolbar), to “paste in” regions from other image planes.
