 ## Adding raster layers
 
-A raster is data stored as individual pixels and displayed as an image. Most of the data from drone borne multispectral cameras, satellites, and other image acquisition technologies are stored as rasters. Images can have many extentions. The ones used in this example are .tif files.

 ### Image Display Best Practices 
 
 1. Colors should be colorblind friendly. 
- + To preview a Project as would be seen by a person with colorblindness go to "View" > "Preview Mode"
- + Here you can "Simulate Colorblindess" of multiple types as well as greyscale photocopies. 
+ + To preview a Project as would be seen by a person with colorblindness go to `View` >> `Preview Mode`
+ + Here you can `Simulate Colorblindness` of multiple types as well as greyscale photocopies. 
  + In general, choose colors that are high contrast for the features you wish to highlight. 
 
  ![](/img/display-bp-1.png)
 
 2. Don’t include areas that are not of interest such as roads or other fields in the color scheme. This ofter causes there to be less contrast in colors in the area of interest and can be distracting to a viewer. Know what you are trying to show and maximize that in the image.
  + One way to remove areas of interest is to clip to the area of interest.
-  + Clip to an area of interest by navigating to the `Clip Raster by Extent` tool though "Raster" > "Extraction" > "Clip Raster by Extent..." (you can also navigate to the `Clip Raster by Extent` tool through the `Processing Toolbox`)
-  + Choose a "Clipping extent" by clicking `...` and choosing "Select Extent on Canvas"
+  + Clip to an area of interest by navigating to the `Clip Raster by Extent` tool though `Raster` >> `Extraction` >> `Clip Raster by Extent...` (you can also navigate to the `Clip Raster by Extent` tool through the `Processing Toolbox`)

   + This allow you to select an area of interest manually. 
   ![](/img/clipping-by-extent-2.png)
-  + Once this is done, you have the option to save the "Clipped extent" as well as the option to "Open the output file after running algorithm." For this example, just make sure the Open the output file after running algorithm" box is checkd.

   + Click `Run`

-  + There should now be another layer in the Layers panels called "Clipped (extent)" and that layer should show up as a greyscale image in the project.
