Step-by-Step

Navigate to a different group

1. On the right-hand side panel, choose Group Training_Jan_2025

   

2. Select Training_Jan_2025 and select your name under Member

3. You should see that the group that you are viewing on the right-hand panel has changed.

4. Switching to view other member (someone sitting next to you) of Training_Jan_2025

5. Switching to view one of your colleagues of your Lab-<group>

Accessing project and dataset

1. Switch to Group Training_Jan_2025 and viewing your project, dataset and images

2. There is a Project named omero_training.

3. Within project omero_training, you will find a dataset.

4. Click on the dataset, you should see a set of images underneath it.

• In OMERO, names are not unique, instead everything has an ID.

Creating a new project and a new dataset

1. Switch to Group Training_Jan_2025 and viewing your project, dataset and images

2. Right-click on your name and a drop-down menu will appear.

   

3. Create a project named “ProjectA” and a dataset with named “dataset1”

Moving images to a different project and dataset

1. Choose an image from project “omero_training” and move that into dataset1

2. Choose another image and move it to be under ProjectA

Renaming image

1. Choose the previous image that you put in dataset1.

2. Renaming the image by going to the left-hand panel.

   

3. Rename it as imageA

4. Choose another image from omero_training and rename that to imageA

• As you can see, there are two images with the same name. OMERO does not treat names as unique.

8. The rendering settings can also be copied and pasted between Images.

9. To modify the rendering settings in batch, click on the Save to All button to apply the same settings to, for example, all Images in a given Dataset.

10. You can use the settings which other users saved on your Images and apply them for your own Image. These settings are highlighted as thumbnails in the lower part of the Preview pane.
