Duplicate vs Reduce_Dimensionality

[CARL Philippe (LBP)]

Dear all,

Please consider the following macro :

                run("Mitosis (26MB, 5D stack)");

                run("Duplicate...", "duplicate channels=2 slices=3
frames=25");

                saveAs("Tiff", folder + "Duplicate.tif");

                close();

                Stack.setPosition(2, 3, 25);

                run("Reduce Dimensionality...", "keep");

                saveAs("Tiff", folder + "Reduce.tif");

                close();

Which is basically extracting the picture at the position "channels=2
slices=3 frames=25" from the hyperstack picture "Mitosis” by using either
the "Duplicate..." or "Reduce Dimensionality..." tools and then saving the
resulting picture on the HD.

When I check the file sizes on disk they are slightly different and looking
more into the details, I see that the meta data of the Duplicate picture is
more complete (i.e. still containing this text: "Drosophila S2 cell
expressing GFP-Aurora B and mCherry-tubulin fusion protein undergoing
mitosis. Courtesy of Eric Griffis." which is gone in the Reduce picture).

Is there a reason for this difference?

Are there other differences between these 2 tools?

What is the recommended tool to use and why?

I thank you very much in advance for your lightings.

My best regards,

Philippe

The difference is caused by a bug that is fixed in the latest ImageJ daily build (1.52a35).
