Applying a Saved Recipe

A recipe holds the placements from an earlier stitch, not its pixels. Choosing one lets you compose sibling volumes with the exact same geometry, without aligning again.

Choosing a Recipe

• Pick a recipe file saved by a previous stitch (tagged as a stitching recipe); other files are excluded from the picker

• The recipe lists one stack slot per placement, in the original order

• Each slot remembers the original stack by its file identity and prefills it when the file is still in the workspace; a slot whose file has been deleted is marked as missing, and composing is blocked until you pick a replacement for it

• Clearing the selection removes the recipe and its slots

Swapping Slots

• Swap each slot for the volume you want to compose now, one per placement

• Every replacement must sit on the same pixel grid as the original, so alignment still holds

• A recipe aligned on images can be applied to label maps and vice versa; the data mode follows the files you actually select

When to Reuse a Recipe

• Typical case: you aligned the raw images, and now want to stitch their segmentations or their denoised versions with the same geometry

• Because the recipe stores placements only, it applies to any sibling volume acquired the same way on the same grid

• Once the slots are filled, go straight to Compose, no re-alignment needed
