Hi everyone,

though I consider myself a seasoned ImageJ user, a beginner's  
question (sorry if I have overlooked something trivial)

Is there a way to have a comment or some other text that I can edit,  
have it stored with the image (in the .tif or .zip file), retrieve it  
later? (and maybe edit it, store the image again...)

Of course, I could write a plugin for this, adding a String to the  
image metadata, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
(The TIFF 'description' tag seems to be in use already, storing  
calibration, min&max)
