Hi All,

Is it possible to setup ImageJ to automatically process a NEW image saved
in a folder?

Or setup up a toolbar button that can be run to execute a macro that
processes the most recent image file saved in a specified folder?

I am running some testing on forearm skin.  What I'd like to know is that
when I photograph a position on the left and right arms, the images are
"about" the same.  The skin structure varies up the arm, so to be able to
compare images they need to be in about the same area on each arm.  I have
a process that analyses the images and gives me a "measurement" relating
the skin structure.  What I would like to do is run that process as soon as
an image is taken so that I can compare the values for left and right arms
before proceeding to make sure the positions on each arm are similar.

Yours

Jez
