Hi,

the header structure is not the same in Metamorph and in imageJ, i.e., you
will not get the same amount of information.
What I do to keep basic information is to use Get and Set metadata in a
short macro so I can retrieve the info from the original images to the
processed ones.
Of course you should always keep the original data.

Cheers ,

Fabrice.
