Dear List,

I am having troubles importing lif files with both Image J and Fiji.  
The problems are:

Image J: In order to open lif files I need to go to plug ins-LOCI-bio  
formats importer. which is a pain to do for every file, ideall i would  
like to open them directly or to drag them to the tool bar and get  
them open, but when I do that it says that the format is not suported.  
I used to be able to do so until I upgraded to the latest version of  
Image J

Fiji: I can open the lif files by dragging them directly to the tool  
bar, but the default function is to open them pseudocolor (it is  
suppose to be gray scale) and I need them in gray scale (white and  
black), and there is no option to open them in gray sclae. Also the  
function mege channels to RGB does not work properly.

Before someone says it, yes, I have the latest version of both.

Thanks for all you help and support!

Lucia
