Hello Jonathan,
Yawi (http://yawi3d.sourceforge.net) provides an enhanced magic wand for
ImageJ. It has been implemented to segment tumor masses (lymphoma) in CT
images or stacks. Current version, released last December, provides
functionalities that might handle your problem of easily outlining the leaf
parameter.

> Hello all,
>     I'm attempting to use ImageJ to analyze scanned images of leaves in
> order to assess percentage of leaf area lost to herbivory.  In so
> doing, I've encountered two problems already (and I've just started):
> 1) The "wand" tool, selected from the toolbar, will, at most outline
> only one hole per leaf, will not outline the leaf perimeter, and, more
> generally, is often completely non-responsive; and 2) in trying to use
> a mouse or trackpoint to control the "freehand" tool from the toolbar
> to outline the leaf perimeter (or reconstruct an eaten leaf perimeter),
> my hand clearly is not steady enough to closely follow the path that I
> desire.     I would greatly appreciate it if anyone would suggest
> either alternatives to these 2 tools, or ways that I can use them more
> effectively.  Also, if you know of a standard protocol for herbivory
> assessment that's compatible with the current version of ImageJ, that
> would probably solve all of my problems.
