Dear All,

Thanks for the help. Fleur & Philipp sent me the plugin. Now that I have it
and see who the author is, I realize I could not get it with a Google search
because, although it comes up in the search, the link no longer works. I
will play with it. I will also look into Sobel operators as Dimiter
suggested. I'll have to do some reading. I already know that Laplacian edge
detection and skeletonization tend to miss the fine neuronal processes I am
trying to detect.

Thanks again,
Martha Narro
