	55	+=== **The basic steps are the following:** ===
	56	+
	57	+1. Export your anchoring results from QuickNII in JSON format (click “Save JSON” in the Manage Data window). Save the file in the same folder as your image series.
	58	+1. Open VisuAlign by double-clicking on “VisuAlign.bat”, and load your image descriptor JSON (File -> Open).
	59	+1. Add markers for adjusting the non-linear alignment. Drag a marker to move the atlas borders around it. Start with the borders of the section, and then adjust internal landmarks to fine-tune the alignment between the section and the atlas. Keep the number of markers to a minimum.
	60	+1. You can toggle “outline mode” by pulling the opacity slider to the far right. A colour picker on the right side of the slider becomes active for changing the outline colour.
	61	+1. Enabling “Debug mode” from the View menu toggles the display of triangles representing the deformation field, and allows you to change the colour of the triangles.
	62	+1. Finally, use File -> Save As to save your fine-tuned alignment as a new JSON file.
