RGB to Montage macro

[djw23]

Hi,

I am new to coding and I have many images that I want to make a montage of the blue, red and green channels.  I've written a macro that will do this but I want to be able to automatically save each image instead of having to do it manually. Could someone advise me as to what to do? Thanks

Have a look at the saveAs command of the macro functions:
  http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#saveAs

you might also want the getDirectory function
  http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#getDirectory


You can combine the directory and title (and/or other strings) to get a file path, e.g.
  path = getDirectory("image") + "montage_of_" + getTitle();

Dear All,

Just as an FYI, we have a small tool called "Common Tools" in the PTBIOP update site that makes montages of multichannel images.

You can choose the position of the channels, the colors, the scalebar... and further customization. Hope this is useful for someone.

The nice thing is that it can be batch processed.

You can look at the last bit of this PDF regarding the montage

Hi Oli-

Thanks so much for this tool. Reminds me of magicmontage to a degree, but
the batch processing is really terrific.
