That's true that they are different.  But the metadata is still there.  When you open a tiff straight from metamorph in Fiji, you can see the XML data in the image info dialogue.  The MM data is passed in under the "Image Description" tag.

But when I manipulate the image, it doesn't pass any of that data from one image to the next.  I would think that it makes most sense to always copy the current header info and pass it to the subsequent images, regardless of the source of that info.

To test this, I manually added metadata to a blank image (taking Metamorph out of the picture).  Still the same result.  The manually added metadata still did not get passed to subsequent images.

This seems like a bug to me.  I can't envision a situation where passing the header information from image to image would not be beneficial.

I guess for now I can look into how to use a macro to pass the information.  I'm not exactly sure how to do that, so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.  If not I'll see what I can find and ask a new question as needed.

Thanks.
