Mnaging ROI and generating stacks

[Maria Luisa Malosio]

Dear Image J community,

I have some troubles in using the ROI manager on stacks of images. If I
select the command to show all objects how do I revert things to the
previous situation in which I visualize only the ROI associated with one
stack level? Is there somewhere a tutorial on how to use the ROI manager?

Another problem I have  is with generation of stacks. I normally open all
the images in  the order I want them to appear in the stack and then ask to
transform file into stack. Is there a way to generate a stack by opening
files in a batch or by asking the programme to generate a stack from all
files contained in a folder?

Thank you in advance for the help
Sincerely
Marialuisa

The "Show All" button in the ROI Manager both enables and disables
"show all" mode. Enable "Associate 'Show All' ROIs with Slices" in the
More>>Options dialog box and, in "show all" mode, you will only see the
ROIs that are associated with the current slice.

You can open a folder of images as a stack by dragging and dropping it
onto the "ImageJ" window.
