Inspecting Hits at Specific Pixels
The red cross-hair cursor can be placed by clicking with the mouse on the image. The directional arrow keys can be used to move the cursor around a single pixel per press. Holding the Shift key down while moving the cursor, will move the cursor at 10 pixels per press.
The pixel on the image with the maximum number of hits is shown as a blue cross-hair.
