Hi Dan,

I see. In my case, all mosaic positions are saved in a single zvi file.
What's the best way to open these now? Whould I open all 64 series (in
case of an 8x8 mosaic) in separate windows and then stitch them using
the plugin? The command "Stitch Grid of Images" takes a directory as
input, but I have a single file only.

In my case, the image data contains 90% black area and only very few
elongated objects. That's why I have to rely on a good alignment of
camera and stage. In my experience, stitching algorithms don't help much
in that case, and I simply want to put the tiles together with 0% overlap.

How can I achieve this with the current plugin?

Thanks for your help,
Jan
