 ===== Shadows =====
+Diamond anvil cells have a limited opening and create shadows due to the seat supporting the diamonds.
+We we started multigrain crystallography experiments, we though this was going to be a problem and created a script called [[software:remove-shadow|timelessDACShadow]] to do so.
+As a matter of fact, this is not very useful as there simply nothing in these regions. You can probably leave the shadows as they are.
 ===== Diamond spots removal =====

 In addition, you can define a disk, at the center of the image, in which nothing should be removed. This option is for samples with very intense diffraction spots on the inner rings which could be confused with diamond spots based on intensity criteria.
+==== Is it necessary ? ====
+If your sample peaks not overlapp with those of diamonds, this is not necessary. You will have extra peaks from the diamonds, which you will not index, and that is all. In many cases, it works just fine.
+If diamond spots are a problem, instructions are below.

 As a test, the image below shows the [[processing:search_for_peaks|sample peaks we extracted]] from the final image. This would not have been possible on the raw diffraction image.

+==== Inpainting ====
+By default, the [[software:timelessDiamondSpotRemoval|timelessDiamondSpotRemoval script]] replaces the masked region with the median intensity of the image. Sometimes, this can lead to problems.
+In such case, you can use //inpainting// which will try to fill the gap as well as possible. This is done by adding ''--inpaint True'' to the command line arguments.
+The script will be significantly slower, but gaps will be filled with values matching the mask's surroundings. As a matter of fact, we have had little use of this option but, at least, it is available.
