Normalize Image

The Normalize Image command adjusts the image intensity to match a target specification, such as a specific value or a statistical intensity inside a region. A common application of this command is to match the brightness (intensity) of an image set. This dialog has two forms: a general form accessible as a menu command, and a specific form for a displayed image set that opens from the Animation Bar and processes only that specific image set. Normalize Image Set is opened only from a displayed image set; Normalize Images can take source images from an image set of files.

The Normalize Image command opens from the Image Window > Process > Math menu and button on the Main Toolbar. The "immediate" form, shown first, opens when an image or image set is displayed in the top-most window. The general form can be used to select source images from folders, windows, or by matching templates. This command also opens from a button on the Animation Bar.
