Hi all,  
I’ve an PNG image series, every slice has some distance. During import, the slice are “as minimal as” possible arranged, so my top view is very narrow. Can I somehome scale the 2D view or give somehow a distance to the slices? Alternatively it’s possible to duplicate the images, but that somehow only an improvised solution…  
Thanks a lot.  
M.

If you know the real spacing value of the slices, you can modify the image spacing setting through the `Volumes` module after you import them.

or better yet, use the `ImageStacks` module from SlicerMorph extension and set the correct image spacing (x, y, and z) at the time of import and don’t need to mess with it later.
