3. Once the correction preview images are available, load them and select the BHC setting that makes a single material as consistent a brightness as possible. Click Run Reconstruction and wait for it to generate (this new reconstruction will show up in the list of other reconstructions in the data tab).

In this animation, you can see that the battery has even grey values across the width of the battery on the second correction factor value.
