Hello everyone,
so my problem is I'm trying to make a 3D image from images taken with a confocal microscope (.tiff images). I have all the files in the same folder, named "NAMEc1.tiff, NAMEc2.tiff etc" where c1 = blue images and c2 = red images. When I import the files (file -> import -> image sequences) all images become red (both blue c1 images and red c2 images).. why is this happening? if I separate the c1 files from c2 files the result is ok (blue is blue and red is red) but I can't do that with all my folders (some have 100+ files..).

Also another problem is it won't let me download the 3D viewer plugin..it says I don't have the permission to write to /Library/Java/Exstension .. I opened my home folder and created the Java/Extensions folder in the Library folder and changed the permission settings but it still doesn't work..
I have a macbook pro!

thank you in advance,

Emilia
