I am very sorry to bother you with a simple question.

I have done a lot of work with NIH Image previously. I am now  
considering upgrading to Image J, new cameras and equipment etc.

I have a simple question, is there any plugin or macro that would  
allow me to script or automate colour flatfield correction?
I will acquire 100's of RGB images a day and plan to control the  
camera I buy with an IMAGEJ plugin. (Q imaging camera)

I need to be able to automatically correct illumination problems by  
subtracting a background image to speed things tremendously.
The plug in "Background Subtraction and Image Normalization Author:  
Jeffrey Kuhn" is for grayscale images

and the plug in "Shading Corrector" that comes with the ImageJ  
installation "only works with 8-bit images" which I assume means 8- 
bit grayscale.

If there is no scriptable solution I may need to buy a more expensive  
camera (SPOT Insight) which comes with a scriptable software

Any thoughts, advice, razzberries gratefully accepted

Thank you in advance
