Hi Kenneth,

probably the easiest way to have the same overlay for all stack slices is Image>Overlay>Add Image.
  http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/docs/guide/146-28.html#toc-Subsubsection-28.14.2

The image used as an overlay can have a lookup table to get a specific color.
Also the stack can have a LUT. To create e.g. a 'red only' lut, you can use the LUT editor.

I would like to scroll through the stack, and optionally have the ability to modify the blending of the Green and Blue (even simply on/off for the single image would be useful).
