Hi, 

I plan to use Pseudo Color Softcopy presentation state(PCSPS) to map pixel values from grayscale space to rgb space. I don't want set the photometric interpretation in the original dicom file to 'Palette color'(it's MONOCHROME2) and add color lut to avoid editing/copying the original file(btw the above method works for getting false color images)

I created a PCPSS presentation file(*.pre)  where the reference SOP Instance UID refers to my dicom file and set the color palette fields. When I load the presentation file into the weasis I can see the effects of changed Modality and VOI but not the effects of color palette lut, image is still a grayscale image.

My desired output is what we get when the photometric interpretation is set to Palette Color. Can I get the same effect using PCSPS file with the photometric interpretation set to 'Monochrome2' in the reference dicom file?

I'm not sure if this part is implemented. Could you share an example with me because I don't think I have one.

Attaching test files here. There is one pair : pscps_dicom_base-pseudo_color_pre to test for pseudo color softcopy presentation state(pcsps) and color_dicom_test whose ouput is what I intend to get using pcsps. 
Thanks
