Hi everyone, I was using Paint Effect in Segment Editor and I noticed that the area that I painted on 1 slice also appears on the next two adjacent slices (if I try to erase this area on these two slices, it will also erase the painted area on the first slice too) Windows Version: 4.8.1 Expected…

Additionally, it is also possible the master volume on which you are segmenting has different spacing than the volume currently selected in your viewer.

I can imagine two reasons: The image you segment is non-axis-aligned. After a quick search I found this thread . Please check if this is the case. The Spere brush option is enabled and it also paints on adjacent slices

[image] cpinter: this thre Thanks for response Csaba, could you link the thread again? I can’t click it for some reasons

I fixed the link, sorry about that. @JoostJM also has a good point. If you selected a master volume and then switched, the geometry of the original master volume is used. In that case create a new segmentation and choose the volume with the geometry you want to have.

After checking the images again per your suggestions, I found that it may be because my master image thickness is 3 mm and the slice thickness at the viewing panel was at 1 mm. After I reset the thickness to 3 mm, the painted area stays within 1 slice. Thank you for helping me solve this!

Hello. I have the same problem with you but I can’t imagine the steps you go through. Can you post screen shot on where to see and adjust master image thickness and slice thickness? Thank you.

Thank you very much. That’s a very straightforward and detailed work flow. Nice to have your respond.
