Add color layer from image

This tool works only on structured point clouds (grids) and colors the point cloud by using any external image that can be projected on it.

Several formats of image are available (png, bmp, jpg, jpeg, tif, tiff) both for perspective and panoramic images.

This command is particularly used to modify the colorization of a scan by following this workflow:

Open the contextual Edit 2D grid view
In the Point picking section select the current color layer you want to manage and modify and click on Save image to save the current image to file.
Open the image in a photo editor software and modify it
Use the Add color layer from image tool to re-apply a new colorization to the scan loading the changed picture.

Pay attention to the dimensions of the images: they must be the same of the point cloud ones.
