1. A method of obtaining and/or processing digital pathology and cytology images for viewing, comprising: automatically electronically identifying a location on or in a grossing specimen where at least one color is applied to an external surface area of the grossing specimen or an external surface of dissected tissue of the grossing specimen as an external surface marking during a grossing procedure; and automatically electronically generating virtual color location marks on a digital macroscopic image or model of the grossing specimen based on the electronic identification such that the virtual color location marks are elongate and have a correct spatial position on the image or model of the grossing specimen correlated to the location where the at least one color is applied on the grossing specimen.
