 - Baseline reduction: Baseline  reduction removes background intensity generated by chemical noise (common in MALDI datasets)
 - Smoothing: Smoothing of the peaks reduces noise and improves peak detection
 - Peak picking: relevant peaks are picked while noise-peaks are removed (needs peak alignment afterwards)

 - Data reduction: binning, resampling or peak filtering to reduce data
 - Transformation: log2 or squareroot transformation of all intensities; when using log2 transformation zero intensities will become NA, this can lead to compatibility problems. 
 
-**Tips** 
-
-- Peak alignment works only after peak picking
-- Peak filtering works only on centroided data (peak picking and alignment or Data reduction peaks
-
 **Output**
 
-- MSI data as imzML file or .RData (can be read with the Cardinal package in R)
+- MSI data as continuous imzML file (option to output processed imzML file only after peak picking/peak alignment; but is not yet compatible with other MSI tools)
