The editor will display the spots as a 'labeling', a colored image where the pixels inside each spot is painted with a specific label.

So it is possible that two different spots will lead to two different labels in the editor, but with the same color, which will make them indisinguishable.

If this is the case we recommend changing the spot coloring before launching the editor.

There is a gotcha however: When you finish editing the actual label of a spot does not matter anymore.

For instance, if you paint a new spot with an existing label, so that the new spot is disconnected from the initial spot or even on another time-point, the new spot will be created as a separated one in TrackMate.

The fact that the initial spot and the new one have the same label plays no role if they are not touching.
