mergechannels 0.5.0 adds support for passing colormap objects from cmap (github.com/pyapp-kit/cmap) or matplotlib in addition to built-in colormaps from FIJI, myself, @christlet.bsky.social and @jamesdmanton.bsky.social

pip install mergechannels or build from github.com/zacswider/me...

Just pushed v0.3.0 which builds in the lovely suite of LUTs created by @jamesdmanton.bsky.social also installable directly into FIJI at sites.imagej.net/JDM_LUTs/luts/

If you’re like me and want to use/blend FIJI lookup tables from Python you can now install mergechannels with pip or build from source: github.com/zacswider/me...

This is a very *minimal* working implementation but there’s more to come :)
