[Insight-users] Gatens Label Object Representation and Manipulation

Hi Christian,

Before writing out the output image pointer, can you hard code to set
1 pixel in the RGB image to [255, 255, 255] and another pixel to
[0,0,0] and see if the output is showing those pixels in different
colors.

I am just wondering

(i) if the thresholds you set are not giving you two different labels
and so everything is black.
(ii) The labels have low ranges in the RGB space.
