Now up to v0.5.5, added thread safety for no-GIL Python, multithreading on the rust end for large images, support using external colormaps, support exporting internal colormaps, and more!

8 months later and it’s in :)

mergechannels 0.5.3 is thread safe with Python 3.14t. Keep those cores busy!

Thanks!

mergechannels 0.5.0 adds support for passing colormap objects from cmap (github.com/pyapp-kit/cmap) or matplotlib in addition to built-in colormaps from FIJI, myself, @christlet.bsky.social and @jamesdmanton.bsky.social

pip install mergechannels or build from github.com/zacswider/me...

I don’t recommend it, I’m falling back to a macro because whatever FIJI is doing can handle the *several* different formats masquerading under the same file extension

Had a convo with someone yesterday who dismissed Python as “not a real language” and “a scripting language”.

Python is everywhere — the web, machine learning, analytics, devops, embedded systems, mobile, etc.

Any ideas @psobolewskiphd.bsky.social ? this was partially motivated by one of your napari plugins

There has to be a better way to open .lut files right??

Effortless

I love Dask

Just pushed v0.3.0 which builds in the lovely suite of LUTs created by @jamesdmanton.bsky.social also installable directly into FIJI at sites.imagej.net/JDM_LUTs/luts/

Many such cases

Also adjust low/high points while color mapping 🎉

Building soon - adding support for 3D and u16 images to github.com/zacswider/me...

Mouse just died, time to see how good I can vim.

Measles doesn’t seem that fun to get tbh

Someday when I lead my own engineering team, the style guide will state that JSON must be pronounced with a French accent.

If you’re like me and want to use/blend FIJI lookup tables from Python you can now install mergechannels with pip or build from source: github.com/zacswider/me...

This is a very *minimal* working implementation but there’s more to come :)

Looks interesting, have you tried it?

Wow this is super cool thanks for sharing!

Amaziiiiiing I love matplotlib 🥰

Probably! Anything ready for use?

Wow blending brightfield and fluorescence is always such a pain

Oh yep been there 😒

What did they do this time
