Hello,

you can try different color spaces and segmentation approaches with  
the "3D Color Inspector" plugin
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/color-inspector.html
Take a small copy of your image, open it with the plugin and then  
select any segmentation mode.
You can change the segmentation by changing the depth slider and by  
rotating the color space. Try different color spaces to find out which  
approach might be the best.
