Slide Set: Batch Processing for ImageJ
Version 1.6.1
Updates from the pervious version:
- Fixed bug in the Trainable Weka Segmentation wrapper plugin
Version 1.6.0
Updates from the previous version:
- New command to count intersections between ROI borders and binary masks
- Improved support for accessing Slide Set functionality through scripting.
- Updated dependencies for the latest version of ImageJ. This fixes a security vulnerability in an ImageJ2 component (CVE-2022-4493) which may affect use of Slide Set components in other projects or running Slide Set in a development environment. The vulnerability does not affect typical use of the Slide Set plugin with an up-to-date installation of ImageJ.
Version 1.5.1
Updates from the pervious version:
- Improved support for 24bit RGB images in the ROI Editor
- Improved support for exporting PNG images with a dedicated PNG file writer
- Fixed bug causing the Create Mask Image command to crash in some situations
- Minor user interface improvements
Version 1.5.0
Updates from the previous version:
- New commands for working with image stacks, including creating maximum intensity projections and re-slicing images
- New command to identify local maxima in an image
- New version of the Region Statistics command allowing exclusion of pixels below a threshold value
- New command to generate mask images from multiple regions of interest
- New command to extract coordinates from point regions of interest
- Improved organization of the Slide Set Command menu.
- Miscellaneous updates for compatibility with the latest version of ImageJ
Technical note:
This update contains changes to the java package names. While this will not affect Slide Set function from the user perspective, developers interested in extending Slide Set or calling it from other ImageJ plugins and scripts should consult the API documentation for details.
Version 1.4.6
Updates from the previous version:
- Switch to the Bio-Formats plugin as the primary method for loading images. See technical note below.
- Allow "~" path expansion for the user home directory
- Miscellaneous bug fixes for compatibility with the latest version of ImageJ
Technical note:
Bio-Formats supports a greater variety of image types than base ImageJ. While ImageJ will fall back to a plugin (Bio-Formats in the standard Fiji distribution) if it does not recognize the image file type based on the file extension, some unsupported image types share file extensions with supported image types (ex. TIFF files with uncommon compression algorithms). ImageJ will fail to load these files, even if they can be loaded with the Bio-Formats plugin.
Using the Bio-Formats plugin as the default method for loading images avoids this issue, at the cost of slightly increased loading time for the first image. Image files containing multiple image sequences are currently not supported. If the Bio-Formats plugin fails to load an image file, SlideSet will fall back to base ImageJ for the ROI viewer or SCIFIO for most plugins, depending on whether ImageJ1- or ImageJ2-type data structures are required.
Version 1.4.5
Updates from the previous version:
- Fix bugs causing Slide Set to freeze in certain situations
- Minor user interface improvements
Version 1.4.4
Updates from the previous version:

Version 1.4.2
SlideSet is now built with Java 8 for compatibility with the latest versions of ImageJ and ImageJ2. This version is will not run with older ImageJ versions built with Java 6. To check which version of Java is running, select Help > About ImageJ
from the menu. If the Java version number is 1.6.X_XX
, download a fresh installation of ImageJ to upgrade to a Java 8 version.
Updates from the previous version:
- Now built with Java 8
- Compatibility fixes for ImageJ2 updates
Version 1.4.1
Updates from the previous version:
- Move to new update site
- Miscellaneous bug fixes and usability improvements
Version 1.4.0
This version of Slide Set no longer loads the ImageJ2 user interface. While this creates some minor differences in how ROIs are selected, it should improve stability and performance. ROIs saved as SVG files should be fully compatible with the new ROI Editor. The previous version of the ROI Editor, using the ImageJ2 interface, is still available. See the documentation for more information.
Updates from the previous version:
- New ROI Editor using the ImageJ1 user interface and ROI selection tools
- The ROI Editor preserves image display settings (window, level, display mode) when switching between images
- Slide Set no longer loads the ImageJ2 user interface by default
- Miscellaneous bug fixes and usability improvements
Version 1.3.1
Updates from the previous version:
- Miscellaneous bug fixes and usability improvements
Version 1.3.0
Updates from the previous version:
- New Command Skeleton feature allows command sequences to be saved with their input settings and easily reused on new data sets
- New Otsu Segmentation command automatically segments images based on threshold values which maximize inter-region variance and minimize intra-region variance
- New Region Stats (multi-chan) command adds an alternate version of the Region Statistics command which operates on images with more than three channels
- New Border Stats (multi-chan) command adds an alternate version of the Border Statistics command which operates on images with more than three channels
- The Threshold Segmentation command is updated to operate on images with more than three channels
- Add color mode and levels controls to the ROI editor
- Compatibility fixes for ImageJ version 2.0.0-rc-34 and ImageJ1 version 1.50a
