Joining Images (UNCLASSIFIED)

I would like to be able to join images, to make a larger image from
smaller images.  Is this possible?

Thanks!

If you just want to put 2 images side by side try the stack combiner plugin.  By hand. the process would go something like this.

1  Open the images
2  Figure out the size for the final composition of multiple images
3  Select an entire image (note the size of it)
4  Copy this image
5  Make a region in the large image having the same size as the image just copied
6  Paste the image into its place
7  Repeat steps 3-7 until you're done

If the images are the same size, I would recommend creating a stack out of them (Images>Stacks>Images to Stack) and then using the Magic Montage toolset to create a montage of the pictures.  This toolset will also let you quickly rearrange the images.  It is available at
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/toolsets/Magic%20Montage.txt   
Save the file in your ImageJ>Macros>Toolsets folder and start ImageJ.   Here is a video tutorial on it.

Thank you.  As it turned out, I needed to add some portion of the
overlapping subimages.  It was not convenient, but I created a new image
of the correct size, used "paste control" set to "add" and dropped my
four submimages into ROIs selected by the "Specify ROI" pluggin.

I did find the operation a bit quirky, but managed to get to the desired
product.

For the future, I will look into the tools you suggested.

Regards,

Mike
