Hi
Is there any problem with reorienting the template instead of the
actual images?
My images are all "RPI Left-handed" and face downwards and to the
right.
The original PET template faces upwards and t the left.
Using the "Top-to-Bottom" sorting in Pmod I receive the attached file
which is "RPI Left-handed" and faces downwards and to the right (I have
no idea why this file is almost exactly twice as large as the original
one - 1805610 By instead of 902981 By).
This way I could map my images to the template with only the template
changed in orientation.
I would like to assure myself: Is there a problem with that?
Thanks,
David
