Product Description:

ImageJ is a public domain Java image processing program inspired by NIH Image for the Macintosh. It runs, either as an online applet or as a downloadable application, on any computer with a Java 1.1 or later virtual machine. It can display, edit, analyze, process, save and print 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit images. It can read many image formats including TIFF, GIF, JPEG, BMP, DICOM, FITS and "raw". It supports "stacks", a series of images that share a single window. It is multithreaded, so time-consuming operations such as image file reading can be performed in parallel with other operations. It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined selections. It can measure distances and angles. It can create density histograms and line profile plots. It supports standard image processing functions such as contrast manipulation, sharpening, smoothing, edge detection and median filtering. It does geometric transformations such as scaling, rotation and flips. Image can be zoomed up to 32:1 and down to 1:32. All analysis and processing functions are available at any magnification factor. The program supports any number of windows (images) simultaneously, limited only by available memory. Spatial calibration is available to provide real world dimensional measurements in units such as millimeters. Density or gray scale calibration is also available.

What's new in this version:

Thanks to Michael Schmid, the wand tool now supports 4-connected and 8-connected tracing, and a tolerance can be specified. Double click on the tool icon to configure.
The Image>Stacks>Delete Slice command works with hyperstacks.
Added a "Name" field to the Image>Stacks>Images to Stack dialog box.
Thanks to Johannes Schindelin, Help>Update ImageJ updates ij.jar files in non-standard locations, and those embedded in ImageJ64 on OS X.
ImageJ can now be compiled with OpenJDK, thanks to Johannes Schindelin and Mark Longair.
Added the doWand(x,y,tolerance,mode) macro function and IJ.doWand(x,y,tolerance,mode) method.
Fixed a bug that caused plugins in packages with names starting with "ij" to sometimes not be found.
Fixed a bug that caused the Threshold tool "Apply" option to not be recorded for 32-bit images with "Set Background Pixels to NaN" enabled.
Fixed a bug that caused uncompressed TIFF stacks larger than 2GB to not open correctly.

After the latest Java update from Apple (JavaForMacOSX10.5Update4), the 64 bit version of ImageJ no longer starts. Double click on the icon, and you get nothing. The 32 bit version works ok.

We have been using it for years at my University. Keeping in mind the price, and the collaborative method used to develop it, I think it is an awesome product. It is very versatile, and we use if for electron microscopy, astronomical images, and everything in between. It is mostly designed for medical/biology uses though.

extremely painful to use - Version: 1.42d, 12/12/2008 12:07AM PST

Hideously designed and extremely painful to use. Plugins are poorly documented too. How do I know that algorithms in them are implemented correctly and their calculations are reliable? There is no any documentation to prove that.
