How to use ImageJ as an ordinary digital photographer?

Ronald Patrick Steffensen/Odyssey Norge
Hello.

I am new to ImageJ and need some tips.
I just take different digital photos, ImageJ look a bit difficult...or with
a bit stiff learinng curve..and a bit scientific :)
I have read the intro and basic concepts, but still a bit confused...
I am among those who want to use something else than rest of the crowd,using
high cost software etc.
I am not an expert in digital photo, but learning...
Anybody have tips on what menys to use here.To do ordinary editing in
digital photo.
And also how to use with raw files...Is it supporting most raw files. I use
Konica Minolta A2 and Pentax K 20 D And I use Mac Powerbook...Do I have to
do some plug ins or...?

What workflow can you suggest? Or are there any tutorials about this?

Thankfull for info.

Ronald

ImageJ is not as much a application for digital photography as it is a  
scientific application dealing in the medium of images. I would  
recommend looking into GIMP(http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/) If you are  
looking into a opensource application, and Graphic converter (http://www.lemkesoft.com/ 
) if shareware is acceptable. There is also a bunch of other apps  
avilable for macintosh depending on what you want to accomplish and  
the hardware your using.

ImageJ is a great tool, but not so great for your purpose.

Its primary use is to analyze data that can be represented
in pictorial form.  Often times the data is a picture from
a camera, sometimes a even a video camera.

I use it to create 3D maps of sound fields in liquids where
the data is collected from a hydro-phone and stored in a tiff
file.  Other things too, but always as a data analysis tool.

For your purposes you could do worse than "gimp".  There is
a fork of "gimp" called "cinepaint" that is also very powerful.
Both come with a steep leaning curve and assume you know a
good bit about digital photography.

Have fun.

Best,
Ray
