Dear colleagues,

my questions are rather simple and I hope, someone will answer. I looked 
through the forum archive and found analogous post about the meaning of the 
watershed options. There David recommended reading manual in reply. I've read 
manual several times, but misunderstanding remains.
The only option which is clear for me is the Threshold - it cuts the noise on 
the chosen level.
More or less Drop size parameter understandable - the higher its value, the 
larger lakes on the image. But it is measured in percents. What are these 
percents of?
Variations of Number of steps in Segmentation section also result in the sizes 
of the lakes. So I've concluded, that it is the amount of drops put in each 
chosen grain.
At last, Number of steps in Grain location section gives the most unexpected 
results for me, that indicates my absolute misunderstanding of its meaning. If 
the initial drops are located at every point of the image, why do large 
unmasked regions appear, when this parameter is high? If this is the length of 
each drop path, the result again is very strange: the drops not always 
concentrate in the regions which are obvious extremums of the image, so, some 
grains remain unmasked...

I specially wrote my reasoning in hope somebody at least comments my words, if 
nobody has time for detailed explanations.
Thank you!
