*Conversion from .dm3 to .png
*easy import .data file for importing the stack into CASTER
*Custom Cluster Computing Support (read: I have no idea how to program for a real cluster (I also dont have a real cluster to test with), but I have made the utility so it can use multiple machines to form its own cluster)
