Hi Marcel,

Ahh, apparently concatenate doesn't preserve the image names in the metadata. Easiest fix is to put this after you've made the stack but before the montage:

setSlice(1);
setMetadata("Label","Image Label 1");
setSlice(2);
setMetadata("Label","Image Label 2");
setSlice(3);
setMetadata("Label","Image Label 3");
setSlice(4);
setMetadata("Label","Image Label 4");

And just change the second argument in each of the setMetadata commands. If you've gone down the route of making the image filenames into variables, you can just put the variable in there without the quotes. eg:

fname1="red.jpg";
setSlice(1);
setMetadata("Label",fname1);

There are probably more elegant solutions, but this is quick and easy to implement.

Thanks,
-Lachie

Thanks Lachie - that works. However, now I've lost the title of my slices and
the montage is now labelled  image1, etc.
