What’s new in version 1.54j

  • Thanks to 'ramnoob', added a number of official tags to the DICOM reader.
  • Thanks to Abdul Hannan, changed the default extension used by the File>Save As>Text Image command from ".txt" to ".csv".
  • Thanks to Gabriel Landini, ImageJ adds an "*" next to the Mode value in the Histogram window if the histogram is multi-modal.
  • Thanks to Norbert Vischer, added the setOption("MouseWheelStackScrolling",boolean) macro function.
  • Thanks to Gilles Carpentier, added the Table.showHistogramTable macro function, which is equivalent to clicking on "List" in a Histogram window.

  • Thanks to Gabriel Landini, fixed bug where the "Composite ROIs" particle analyzer option did not work as expected.
  • Thanks to Norbert Vischer, fixed bug where empty string fields in tables are converted to NaNs after the table is saved and reopened.
  • Thanks to Stein Rorvik, fixed bug where the Table.getColumn() macro function did not work with columns containing empty strings.
  • Thanks to Norbert Vischer, fixed bug where text fields in GenericDialogs opened after a showMessage() were non-editable.

  • Thanks to Alexander Bender, fixed bug with the ROI Manager ignoring selections when saving.
  • Thanks to Michael Schmid, fixed 1.53t regression where Image>Stacks>Z Project failed when doing "Average" projection of 32-bit float stacks

ImageJ deserves your continued appreciation. I'm in a physics department. ImageJ is widely used by our students in both physics and astronomy contexts. It is loaded on well over 50 computers in the department. It gets used in labs, research, and homework. Some of the time it is used for cosmetics (minor image processing, addition of graphical elements such as circles and arrows). Sometimes it is used analytically. As much as we use it, I'm sure we have only touched on its breadth and depth. It is free, actively maintained, and widely appreciated in the scientific community. Stable, extremely functional, and not hard to learn. Do not be put off by its lack of glitz. It is a gem.

I really wish I knew about this app when I was in college. Apart from professional image analysis and general editing, it can be very helpful for students in signal processing/image processing to understand how transforms and filters work. Thanks to the devs.
