Dear all, When I obtain the DSM from Pix4d Mapper, I see the beautiful presentation of all terrains in Mosaic Editor or even in the Quality Report. However, the DSM that I find the result folder, when I import it in GIS software and I change its symbology, no color range can obtain the same result. Is there a way to have a nice color symbology of DSM like the one I see in quality report and editor? Thanks everyone. ---

Hi Parivash, Pix4D will only export grayscale DSM as you know. In QGIS, you can create a color ramp and use that. For example, I made this color ramp which looks somewhat like the Pix4D color scale (with red, yellow, green and blue) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/pix4d/original/2X/9/91d1bad9f2f1cd25f459d4042a00c7cabbef5623.png) I have attached the exported color scale from QGIS. You can import the color scale from here: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/pix4d/original/2X/e/e22abff134fd759eb48f69218d098167ca4b4b61.png) [RGB.txt](https://community.pix4d.com/uploads/short-url/7gZPHVBRKSsac4OdXhrTcHal6h6.txt) (286 Bytes)
