Blob Mask

The Blob Mask allows the user to select and alter or work in the areas of the blob without changing other pieces of the image. It will create a copy or "mask" of the areas selected by the Blob tool.

Using the Blob Reporting Tool

Once the Blob tool is placed into the inputs page select Run.
Select Show to put the found image mask into the CIF Viewer.
Use the options below to change the settings.
Once these steps are taken the user can work within this "mask" image.

Inputs

Drop the Blobs tool directly into the "Blobs" box on the Blob Reporting tools inputs page.
Select "Blobs" from the dropdown menu.
The CIF Viewer is already linked to the  CIF Viewer box.

Parameters

Blob is Mask: if this option is selected then the mask will appear as the blob did. If it is not selected then it will choose to highlight and make a mask of the areas that were not a part of the Blob.

Invert

Invert by going to the parameters tab and unchecking BlobIsMask
