Dear all,
 
 
I've a little problem with the creation of selection:
 
I've an object with holes (having the background color) in it, when I create a selection the holes are selected as well as individual objects. I would like to keep only the circle itself.
I've tried:
 
setThreshold(2, 255);
run("Convert to Mask");
run("Fill Holes");
run("Create Selection");
run("Revert");
run("8-bit");
run("Restore Selection");
 
 
The circle is not restored properly, but another selection I've done on a previews image....
If I just run the measurement on the selection (holes and circle), only one of the hole is measured and the rest is removed. I'm interested in measuring the object as a whole, so what is in the circle, not each small hole.
 
Is there another way to go around this problem, did I do something wrong?
 
Any suggestion?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
France
