Guided Manual Picking Mode

The guided manual picking mode is a straight line force mode. By default, no amplitudes are stored with manual picks. To save amplitudes with your pick you must change the Manual Picks Have Zero Amplitude setting in your Seismic Preferences.

Using the Guided Manual Picking Mode

If the Current Pick Mode button on the Horizon Picking toolbar does not read Guided Manual, then you need to toggle off the current picking mode.

Click on the Current Pick Mode button and select Guided Manual from the drop down list (or press <m> on your keyboard). The words Guided Manual will now be displayed on this button.

Discontinuous Manual Picking – Left click on a trace and, without lifting the mouse button, drag the guideline to another trace. Release the mouse button. A straight line will be drawn between the two points.
Continuous Manual Picking – While holding the <Ctrl> key, left-click on an event. Release the <Ctrl> key. Drag the guideline across several traces and left click to define the end of the first segment and the start of the second segment. Continue adding segments in this manner. Press the <Esc> key on your keyboard to end picking in continuous mode.
