Hi everyone,
Over the past few weeks, we have made substantial updates to the Bio-Formats
Importer plugin for ImageJ. We are preparing to make a stable release of
Bio-Formats (version 4.2) some time in early July, and would like to invite
everyone to "beta test" the latest Bio-Formats plugin. We know there are a
lot of existing macros in use, and many different datasets and use cases, so
we would greatly value any feedback on bugs that have cropped up since the
last release.
Specifically: do your macros still work with the latest trunk build? Does
your data open up in ImageJ as expected, or has the behavior changed for the
worse?
For users: We have revamped the color options, so it is easier to invoke
ImageJ's various composite image color modes. We have also made hyperstacks
the default view option, since they have no significant disadvantages and
are capable of representing five-dimensional data well. (For technical
details, see:
https://skyking.microscopy.wisc.edu/trac/java/ticket/289)
For developers: We have added an API for invoking Bio-Formats
programmatically to obtain ImagePlus objects, without necessarily displaying
them onscreen or having other GUI side effects. (For details and examples,
see:

Thanks for any feedback!
