I understand that it is to be used for making scientific measurements and that is what I need to use it for. The problem is that if those measurements dont look believable or robust to everyone else, they wont believe that the technique itself is believable or robust unless you spend an hour explaining why it is so. Sometimes, it is better to eliminate this step, if it makes no difference to the actual measurement - as in this case.

Thanks for your comment though.

Dear,

there might be a fundamental misunderstanding:

ImageJ is meant as a tool for scientific image analysis and not for
nice looking pictures and image cosmetics!
