Combining two max projection images with a 'transparency sliding rule'?

Antonio G. Valdecasas
Hi.

I have a stack of confocal images. As I go through the z axis, some
structures appear that are partially covered by some overlaying surface.

I did two partial maximum projection and would like to create a single
image showing the whole structure.  As the intensity of the first max proj
is higher than the second, composing both is not a good solution.

I remember that there was a software that combined two images and with a
sliding rule one could vary the 'transparency of either image and get a
good solution.

My question is: is there any plugin with something similar to a
'transparency sliding rule' in Fiji/ImageJ?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Best

Antonio

activate the ClearVolume plugin [Help/Update/Manage Update Sites; check
clearvolume].

It has ability to toggle channels on/off, plus opacity sliders per color.

[clearvolume is fussy about graphics cards, however]

cheers,

Vytas

Re: Combining two max projection images with a 'transparency sliding rule'?

Antonio G. Valdecasas
Thank you very much, Vytas.

However, my version of Fiji/ImageJ       'Help >Update'  does not
leads to 'Manage
Update Sites'. I have updated the Fiji/ImageJ version from a link in
ClearVolume webpage with same result.

Looking at the ClearVolume  page I realize that the instalation of this
plugin is a bit more complex than simply downloading a *.jar file in the
plugin folder.

Any additonal help would be greatly appreciated.

Best

Antonio

Hi Antonio,

Are you sure you are choosing "Update..." and not "Update ImageJ..."?

Did you read the documentation?
  https://imagej.net/Following_an_update_site#Add_update_sites

It is six clicks:

* Help
* Update...
* "Manage Update Sites" button
* "ClearVolume" checkbox
* Close button
* "Apply changes" button

Regards,
Curtis

Thank you very much, Curtis.

I had overlooked the 'Manage Update Site' button at the left down corner!!
