Hello

I'm totally new to ImageJ and was hoping to get some guidance.  I have
pictures of plants (jpg) that I need to analyze to get percent of
coloring.  (Poinsettia plants.  I'd like to get the percentage of either
red/pink/white of the plants as it develops).  This is part of my
dissertation research.  I  have attached a sample image.  It looks like the
Color Counter Plugin would be the best way to go from what I can tell?  Is
this right?

If so, I don't understand what kind of processing I need to do to my
picture to get this to work.  And after that, I must have to customize the
plugin so that it knows which colors I want it to count, correct?  Since it
is not a clear red/pink, etc, I assume I would have to choose a range of
colors in the red range, or the pink range?

Is there documentation somewhere telling me how to do this?  Or can someone
help me with this?  I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

Emily
