Activating and deactivating images

In the the Project Overview window, you can activate and deactivate one or more images in your project.

Note: When you deactivate an active image or activate an inactive image, your math model will be out of date. Consider whether you want to recompute the math model to incorporate the change.

By default, each image in your project is active. An active image is included in any processing you want to do on your project. When you deactivate an image, it is still in your project, but is excluded from processing. At any time—except while a process is running—you can activate an inactive image, which makes it available to include in processing.

Tip: You can also activate and deactivate images in the Raw Image Summary Table window.

The Project Overview window displays both active and inactive images in your project. The footprint of an inactive image appears dimmed. That is, the footprint of an active image appears outlined according to whether it is the current one, selected, or unselected: yellow for the current image, cyan for a selected image, and black for an unselected image. The name of a deactivated image (image ID) also appears dimmed in the leftmost pane of the window.
