THANOSD  Excellent work in the public domain. This is the kind of tool you NEED when you are in image processing and want to analyze a new type of image. This saves time and resources, since it provides all functionality I would usually find in either expensive image processing suites or environments, such as Matlab. Congrats to the developers!

TOMIS  I found it to be extremely buggy. It wasn't able to access an image on the clipboard at all when no other Mac app had a problem with the clipboard image.

Then when opening a JPEG of aprox. 2500x1900 it threw an out of memory error, which is an absolute joke on a 768MB system that had 160MB free at the time. Considering Preview.app opened the same image flawlessly, what gives?

I would give it thumbs down. Maybe wait until they do a Cocoa/Java port? Who knows. It just doesn't feel very polished at this point.

SOMEONE  Cocoa/Java is deprecated in Tiger. Also, one of the biggest advantage of ImageJ is its cross platform nature. Porting it to Cocoa would mean it will no longer be cross platform.

As for the out of memory problem, you need to increase the heap size of the Java VM in order to be able to open large files. There is a setting in ImageJ for this.

ANONYMOUS  Thanks for this Java program. It's easy to use and it's fast.

IN LALA LAND  Madena is much better. More controls, better interface, faster and the same price (Free).

Still ImageJ might have its uses (primarilly if you are operating on a cross plaform basis). Either provide control and manipulation of 16-bit level data in either TIFF or DICOM files. Something GIMP can NOT do.

WALT FRENCH  Huge list of bugfixes from 1.32i that I have used for about a week. In that time I've written a couple of plugins to test out some image processing concepts... REMARKABLY easy despite never having written in Java (or C, for that matter) before.

Don't let a simplistic "X is better" deter you if ImageJ looks useful for your purposes. This ain't perfect (I don't see a bugfix for a way that I crashed my version and some Mac-isms don't work right) but it has a very short learning curve to be very useful.

MU5TI  To the guy in La-La land: You realize Madena is some 20 MBs, as opposed to ImageJ's less than 1 MB, right?

ANONYMOUS  I guess some people read the first sentence and make a conclusion. 20MB with demo images and only 3MB without.
