Studying morphogenesis is unthinkable without visualizing shapes, and sharing the results of such studies critically depends on communicating image data. Despite a wealth of literature dealing with acquisition and analysis of image data, visualizing them for publication or presentation purposes remains a craft learned mainly by experience. This chapter provides a practical guide to producing publication-grade illustrations out of raw microscopic (or other) digital images, using mostly or exclusively free software, and points out some common problems and their solutions.
