Dear Kurt,

aside the optimizations that Mark Hiner is currently working on, thanks a
lot by the way(!!), I implemented the Stitching code already in ImgLib a
long time ago. So if ImageJ2 is able to display and work with the ImgLib2
CellImg (which is not limited by 2GB per plane) it will be just a few
modifications to allow this.

I am not sure though if ImageJ2 can do this, Curtis, Johannes?

Cheers,
Stephan
