Merged images compress your two originals into 4bit images which are combined and the appropriate LUT added. However if your really determined, as part of our incomplete program to import BioRad & microVoxel files (the latter for conversion into QuickTime movies, though it does work with ThruView+ files), we did produce a utility for converting the BioRad text-file format of LUTs into both Photoshop & NIH Image LUT files (PS calls them color(sic) tables). You can ResEdit the resource into the Photoshop application so it shows up in the menu. We converted all the basic BioRad LUTs (Autumn...), as well as defining versions of 4 & 8 bit anaglyph LUTs, plus the split Red/Green one used for RG merges. While there was talk of this mailing-list hosting an FTP site, I don't think anything ended up happening. We would be interested if anyone has a decent site we can dump these on. cheers, Danny Thomas ([log in to unmask])
