This is not suitable for many reasons, 1) one is that there are MANY
microscopes producing hundreds of large 5D images (at least 200MB a
file) on a daily basis 2) asking people to run some tool on their
images prior to operation is not feasible, we already struggle
offering easy-to-use alternative open source software 3) pure
knowledge that somebody will modify their file makes biologists
shiver, 4) these changes may make the file unreadable by Zeiss's
proprietary software and 5) the palette is just one of many examples
of incompatibilities (Zeiss is not the only producer of these images).
