timeout error fixed. Colorlabels not used when the appropriate size and shaped cell objects are left in the mask

fixed vector memory exhausted error. Seems that calling plot(colorlabels(retained)) on a BW mask with a single object causes it

auto_crop_fast now has a new input called cropping_factor. It defaults to 1 (which is how the size of the cropped square around the blob was previously determined, using 1* characteristic blob radius). Likely need to set e.g. cropping_factor = 1.3, once blob_factor has been chosen etc

count_foci has individual mask routines. More modular and closer to bioconductor standards. Mask routines can be called with different settings for exceptional cases e.g. after removing XY, low background and low signal

auto_crop and get_pachytene gives same results for any input resolution, i.e. images found at the end of the pipeline are all the same

added option to specify an output path path_out in auto_crop_fast, get_pachytene in case user wants output crops in a different place to the original image files

add an inout parameter artificial_amp_factor in count_foci, which amplies the foci channel for annotation purposes only. Defaults to 1

measure_distances_general prints file and shows original cell image before displaying individual strands

update vignette to emphasise that count_foci and measure_distances_general find the coincident foci mask with the exact same input parameters, and it is much faster to play around with/ calibrate your input parameters with count_foci, since at the moment measure_distances_general is relatively very slow
