Tuning suggestions

  1. For cross-ecosystem interoperability, keeping save_image=True is usually helpful for reproducible spatial visualization.

  2. Reserve sufficient disk space before converting large objects.

  3. For data sharing, exporting h5ad or seurat is often the most convenient choice for downstream collaborators.
