Traci, There is not a way to control the assignment of paint identifiers when creating the paint volumes.
However, if you combine all of the individual paint volumes into a "multi-volume" file, the paint indices will be synchronized. You will need to use "caret_command", the command line tool included with the Caret distribution. Specifically, you will need to run the command "caret_command -volume-file-combine". Be sure to use the "-paint" option at the end of your command so that the paint names get synchronized. If you still need each volume separately, you will need to load the multi-volume file into Caret and then save each of the volumes contained in the multi-volume file. caret_command -volume-file-combine VOLUME FILE COMBINE caret_command -volume-file-combine <output-volume-file-name> <input-volume-file-1-name> [additional-input-volume-files] [-paint] Combine the volumes into a single, multi-volume file. If the volumes are paint or probabilistic atlas volume files, the "-paint" option must be specified so that paint name indices are synchronized throughout all of the volumes. Good luck. ----------------------------------- John Harwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology Washington University School of Medicine 660 S.
