the Hand icon at the top of the dialog box and drag across the frame.

Create a 3D volume from DICOM frames (Photoshop Extended)

1. Choose File > Open, select a DICOM file, and click Open.
2. Select the frames you want to convert to a 3D volume. Shift-click to select contiguous frames. To select noncontiguous frames, Ctrl-click
(Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS). Click Select All to select all frames.
3. In Frame Import Options, select Import as volume, then click Open.
Photoshop creates a 3D volume of the DICOM frames and places it on a 3D layer in the Layers panel. You can use Photoshop's 3D position tools
to view the 3D volume from any angle, or change render settings to better visualize data.
The original DICOM file is preserved as a Diffuse texture layer associated with the 3D volume layer. For information on 3D textures, see 3D
texture editing (Photoshop Extended).
Double-click the texture layer to open the DICOM file as a Smart Object in its own document window. The DICOM frames appear as separate
layers in the Layers panel.
Any changes you make to individual layers are applied to the 3D volume when you close and save the Smart Object.
To save the 3D volume, you can export the 3D layer or save the file in PSD format. See Saving and exporting 3D files (Photoshop Extended).
For a video about creating a 3D volume from DICOM frames, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4006_ps. (Discussion of DICOM frames begins at the
1:30 mark.)
View a 3D volume from different angles
1. Select the 3D layer containing the DICOM volume in the Layers panel.
2. Select either the 3D Position tool
3. Use the position or camera tools in the options bar to rotate, move, or scale the 3D volume. See 3D object and camera tools (Photoshop
Extended).
If OpenGL support is enabled on your system, you can also use the 3D Axis to rotate, move, or scale the 3D volume. See 3D Axis
(Photoshop Extended).
View a 3D volume in different render modes
1. Select the 3D layer containing the DICOM volume in the Layers panel.
2. Choose Window > 3D to open the 3D panel.
3. From the Preset menu in the lower section of the 3D panel, select a render mode.
Note: Render modes that use a transfer function use a Photoshop gradient to render values in the volume. The gradient color and opacity
values are combined with the grayscale values in the volume to optimize or highlight different types of content. Transfer function render
modes are only available for grayscale DICOM images.
Enhanced Boundaries Lowers the opacity of homogeneous regions while retaining the opacity of the boundaries. It can also reduce noise
in the volume.
Full Range Color Scale Transfer function that uses a full "rainbow" Photoshop color gradient.
High Range Highlights Transfer function that uses the color white for the entire value range, zero opacity for low range values, and high
opacity for high range values.
Low Range Highlights Transfer function that uses the color white for the entire value range, zero opacity for high range values, and high
opacity for low range values.
Maximum Intensity Projection Displays maximum values in the volume to provides a quick preview of volume structure. Does not provide
any depth cues.
Red-Blue Color Scale Transfer function that uses a full red-blue color gradient.
Thin Isolines Transfer function that uses constant color, while opacity component is a function with multiple spikes, to display isovalues.
X-Ray Approximates X-ray radiation transport through an X-ray translucent medium. This effect is useful for generating an image from a CT
scan that looks like an X-ray shot of the same object.
White-Black Color Scale Transfer function using a white-black color component.
4. (Optional) To create a custom render mode, click Render Settings in the 3D panel to open the 3D Render Settings dialog box. Select options
in the Volume Styles section of the dialog. See Customize render settings.

Export DICOM frames as JPEG files (Photoshop Extended)

1. Open a DICOM file and set options in the DICOM File Import dialog box (see Open a DICOM file (Photoshop Extended)).
or a 3D camera tool in the Tools panel.
