14.3.c Deleting Bands

You can use Remove Band to delete bands from lanes.

Select Remove Band from the menu or toolbar, point the cursor at the

unwanted band, and click the mouse button.

If your bands are displayed as brackets, a trace of the band will be displayed

and a pop-up box will ask you to conﬁrm removal of the band. Click on Yes to

delete the band or No to cancel the procedure.

If your bands are displayed as lines, the band will simply be deleted.

Note: If your bands are displayed as lines, you can delete more than one band at

a time. With Remove Band assigned to your mouse, drag a box around

the bands to be removed. The bands in the box will be deleted when you

release the mouse button.

If you delete a band, the region will no longer be counted as a band, but its

intensity will still contribute to the total lane intensity.

Note: After removing bands, be sure to renumber the bands in your image by

selecting Sort and Recalculate from the Edit menu.
