1. Create a stack containing the 5 images
2. Use Image>Color>Make Composite to create a 5 channel composite
image
3. Press shift-z (Image>Hyperstack>Channels) to open the Channels
window
4. Select "Color" in the Channels window
5. Use the slider under the composite image to select the DAPI
channel
6. Select Image>Lookup Tables>Blue
7. Select the cytoplamic marker channel
8. Select Image>Lookup Tables>Green
9. Select the target protein channel
10. Open the LUT Editor (Image>Color>Edit LUT)
11. Create an orange LUT (drag across all 256 entries then set
red=255, green=~160, blue=0)
12. Add LUTs to the other 2 channels
13. Select "Composite" in the Channels window
14. Use the B&C tool (press shift-c to open) to adjust each of the
channels
15. Use the Channels tool to enable/disable channels
For practice, open the 5 channel File>Open Samples>Neuron image, which
was added in v1.41d.

There is the StackReg plugin at
