# Data Reduction

Before running a Search & Match, the raw diffraction pattern usually needs to be processed. QualX provides the following data reduction tools:

Tool | Menu | Description
--- | --- | ---
Background | Pattern → Background | Estimate and subtract background
Peak Search | Pattern → Peaks | Detect peak positions and intensities
Smoothing | Pattern → Smoothing | Reduce noise
K-α2 Stripping | Pattern → K-α2 Stripping | Remove the Kα2 contribution

All tools are accessible from the Pattern menu.
