Workflow of the code. The example illustrates the steps for constructing a PSF matched photometric data cube, in this case using JWST images. In the first step, a region of interest is cropped: a spiral galaxy observed in the F090W filter. This cropping must be repeated for all available filters. In the second step, all cutouts are stacked in order of wavelengths, resulting in a data cube with dimensions (x, y, filters). And in the third step, the final output is completed by homogenizing the PSF across all filters.
