Creating an editable overlay

Gabor Csucs
Dear List,

As a newcomer, my question is perhaps a trivial one, but until now I
couldn't find an easy/trivial solution. My problem is the following: from an
image through thresholding I'm creating a mask. Now in the next step I would
like to overlay this mask on my original image, but in a way that I can
still edit it (the mask). After the edition of the mask I'm
detecting/analyzing the particles there. So the basic question is, whether
there is an easy way in imageJ to overlay two images in a way that one of
them still remains editable?

Thanks for any hint!

Greeting and Thanks    Gabor

Hi Gabor,

you can edit the selection by the various selection tools: shift-
click to add, alt-click to subtract. This also works with the  
selection brush (hidden under the oval tool), which is handy for  
small corrections.
It does not work with the line selections.

Michael
