presenting overlay spectra from PrintPreview
For presentation/publication purpose, I always obtain a PDF format spectrum from Cara PrintPreview. However, when a few spectra are overlaid, it is quite inconvenient to adjust contour level of each spectrum to get the best presentation of the overlay picture. Cara provides "Auto contour level" and "Set auto gain" functions, but the results have not been satisfactory for me. Topspin does it much better.
Will it be difficult to program PrintPreview, so that the contour level of individual spectrum in the overlay can be adjusted separately?

I just realized that I "complained" about this function before. Sorry..., if no new solution yet, please ignore this track.
Could you provide a link to the original issue as follow-up to this issue describing this feature request?
I agree that it would be useful to have the same type of control over print preview (set contour levels ) as available for Monoscope. For the test case I used, autocontour worked pretty well. It behaves best if you exclude intense signals (solvent, diagonal) from the zoomed region since autocontour sets the lowest level based on the AVERAGE intensity in the selected region. Ofcourse this is not always an option and therefore I can see the need to control the contours of individual spectra separately using "set contour levels".
I mentioned in 2008 with title "Print preview improvement ". However, I think that I explained more clear here. It would give users much better control if contour level of each spectrum can be adjusted separately in a spectral overlay situation.
To me, sometimes the signal intensity of top spectrum (HSQC) appears too strong and completely covered the underneath spectrum/spectra. If I use "set contour levels", there is no popup window asking me which spectrum to adjust, and it would change all spectra, not just the one I wanted.
To demonstrate what I meant, I attached two 1h-15N HSQC spectra to be overlapped for your testing, spectrum 1 on top, 2 on bottom. The goal is to have signals from spectrum 1 relatively small, so we can still see signals from spectrum 2 for comparison, while keeping the noise invisible. Thank you,
