Yes, probably exporting the volume after applying the transfer function would not be too useful.

But maybe we could use some information from volume rendering for simple segmentation. How about allowing the user to specify the desired “color” for thresholding? We could determine the original voxel values from that color (using the transfer function) and a tolerance factor maybe, and do a thresholding to include that interval.
