Pixel Value Editor
The Pixel Value Editor command gives you direct access to the pixel data (the actual values of pixels) using a table editor. This command opens, for viewing or editing, the region of the image outlined by the Image Cursor. In this window you can simply view the values by (column, row) coordinate or you can edit the pixel data directly and then save the changed values back into the image. The related Set Pixel Value command can also be used to change 1 pixel value at a time but does not display the current values. To display small region of pixels that tracks the moving Image Cursor, use the Pixel Table Pane.
Open the Pixel Editor dialog using theProcess > Region > Pixel Value Editor command or the View > Image Cursor > Edit Pixel Values command..
This dialog may also be opened using the Ctrl+E key when the image window is top-most.
You can resize the column width by dragging the vertical separator bar between column headings. To minimize the column widths, right-click on the table and use the Optimize Grid Columns command in the pop-up menu.
As shown above, the table's central column and row
are shaded to indicate the center of the image cursor. If you
scroll the pixel table, you can always return to the central
position by looking for the shaded column or row in the table. In
addition, you can use the 
button to
re-center the table.
Some operations used Multi-selection mode. This mode allows more than 1 table cell to be highlighted at the same time. To enable or disable multi-selection mode, right click on the table to open the context menu. If the Multi-selection command is set to [off], click on it to toggle it to the [on] state, or vice versa.
A powerful capability of this command is to allow the pixel values to be changed, or "edited". You can edit individual values anywhere in the table, or you can copy a particular value from one (column,row) location along a column, row, or region extending from that point.
