Pixel shift/image registration

Knecht, David
I have what appears to be a pixel shift between red and green  
fluorescence images.  I am trying to track down the source, but in  
the meantime, is there an easy way in ImageJ to manually shift one  
image a few pixels relative to the other to register them before/
after merging? It would be nice to be able to do this on the RGB  
merged image, but I can't find any way to move one plane relative the  
other as you can in Photoshop.  Thanks- Dave

Dear David,

We had the same problem a while ago with our fluorescent images.

The cells in two channels were shifted a few pixels in x and y direction
due to the optical alignment of the system.

We used the color functions plugin: align RGB planes.

By using this tool it is rather easy to shift manually one channel pixel
by pixel with respect to the other.

Though if you have a lot of images this is not an ideal solution.

Gabriel Landini made this plugin, for download:

anes

Personally I would like to know if there is also some kind of plugin or
algorithm to do it automatically.

Good luck,
Christian Breukers
