      <br>
      I was just starting to reply to your previous message...<br>
      <br>
      You are right, but in principle it is more like a  feature than a
      bug, i.e., we don't copy matrix information to the result of an
      operation. We'll discuss this internally and decide if we'll
      update it or not. For now, please stick with the solution you've
      found. We'll keep  you posted.<br>

      Best,<br>

                        <font size="-1"><font face="Arial"><br>
                            As for the thresholding, maybe you've seen
                            the Binarize option under the Tools menu
                            item. It does nearly what you want, except
                            that you can't really control the standard
                            deviation... You basically set up the range
                            of values that you wish to threshold, click
                            OK, and a new image with the result is
                            generated, which you can save afterwards.<br>
                            <br>
                            If you want to know the SD of the image (and
                            other stats), I suggest you try the
                            clitkImageStatistics tool, which is also
                            part of the VV suite. Than you can do your
                            own calculations and find the range for the
                            thresholnding. As a side note, you can also
                            use the clitkBinarizeImage tool for the
                            thresolding.<br>
                            <br>
                            Let us know if you any issues.<br>
