  4. Open the ORTHO folder, and then open the corresponding multispectral (MS) image.

    The image appears in the tree list.

  5. Use the histogram tools to compare the histograms for each channel of the original MS scene and the new pansharpened scene.

    Adjust the minimum and maximum values of x and y to view the most details. The histograms for each corresponding channel in the original MS image and the new pansharpened image should have the same shape.
