Text windows can be used to create macros accessed using the Load Macros command or convolution kernels to be used by the Convolve command. Text windows have a maximum size of 32K.
Open
Use the Open command to load and display images (in TIFF, PICT, PICS and MacPaint format), text files, color look-up tables (LUTs) or region of interest outlines. The following file types are supported:- TIFF files created by Image and many other programs. Image will open (as a stack) a TIFF file containing multiple images, but the images must all have the same width and height. Image is unable to open bitmap (1-bit) or compressed TIFF files. TIFF files that were created on other systems, such as an IBM-PC, usually need to be opened using the Import command. 16-bit TIFF files can be opened using the Import command. 24-bit (RGB) TIFF files are opened into a 3-slice (red, green and blue) stack.
- PICT files created by Image and numerous other Macintosh programs. Check Keep LUT in the Open dialog box (shown below) if you want to display the image using the current look-up table, instead of the one contained in the PICT file.
- MacPaint documents. You will want to set Undo Buffer Size in Preferences to 405K if you regularly open large MacPaint drawings, since this is the memory required for a full size ( 576 x 720) MacPaint document.
- PICS files created by Image and by many Macintosh animation programs.
- QuickTime movies. The Open command will place images from a QuickTime movie into a new stack. Note, however, that the current LUT is always used. Therefore, before opening the movie, you must switch to the Grayscale LUT when opening a grayscale movie and to the System LUT when opening a color movie.
- Look-up tables created by Image and by several other Macintosh programs, including PixelPaint, Canvas and UltraPaint. These programs have palette editors that can be used to create color tables for use by Image. The public domain PalEdit program from NCSAcan also be used to create color tables that can be opened by Image.
- Selection outlines created using the Save As command in Image.
- Text files, such as macros and convolution kernels, up to 32K in size.
Import
Select TIFF to open 8 and 16-bit TIFF files imported from other systems, such as an IBM PC. Once a 16-bit TIFF file has been imported, you can use Rescale (a k a Revert to Saved) to find the optimum 16-bit to 8-bit mapping. 16-bit TIFF files that represent white as zero open inverted.
Select DICOM to import 16-bit files in the DICOM-3 (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) and ACR-NEMA formats used in radiology. A DICOM dictionary is required to decode the DICOM or ACR-NEMA header. This dictionary is available from rsbweb.nih.gov, in the /pub/nih-image/documents directory. It must be located in the same folder as NIH Image or in the System folder. When opening a DICOM file, hold the option key down to get a full header dump. When using the 'Open All' option, hold the shift key down to fix 16-bit to 8-bit scaling. NIH Image's DICOM reader was written by Jim Nash, www.SynergyResearch.com.
Select Text to import a two-dimensional array of numbers stored in tab-delimeted text format, for example, a spreadsheet saved as 'Text Only'. Values do not have to be in the range 0-255, and may be in decimal or scientific format. By reading in the text file twice, image is able to determine the number of rows and columns, and to scale to 8-bits (1-254). Blank cells are assumed to have a value of zero. If Fixed Scale is checked then automatic scaling is disabled, values are scaled to 8-bits from the range Min-Max, values less than Min are set to Min, and values greater than Max are set to Max.
Select Look-Up Table to import a 768 byte binary LUT consisting of 256 consecutive red values, 256 consecutive green values, and 256 consecutive blue values. The values should be in the range 0-255.
Select Custom to open other types of 8-bit and 16-bit binary images. Width is the width of the image in pixels and Height is the number of lines in the image. For 16-bit images, the maximum value that can be entered for Width is 4096. Offset specifies the number of bytes Image will skip before it starts reading the pixel data. For example, use an offset of 512 to skip over a 512 byte file header. Set Slices to more than one to import 3D data sets such as multi-slice volumes from medical scanners
Image computes the minimum and maximum pixel values of 16-bit images and uses this information to linearly scale to 8-bits (1-254). Check Swap Bytes when importing 16-bit images from 'little-endian' systems, such as an IBM-PC or VAX. If Calibrate is checked Image automatically sets up a linear density calibration function to provide an approximation of the original 16-bit pixel values. The approximated values should not vary from the original 16-bit values by more than (Max-Min)/254, where Min and Max are the minimum and maximum 16-bit values. If Fixed Scale is checked then automatic scaling is disabled and the 16-bit data is linearly scaled from Min-Max to 1-254. You can redo the 16-bit to 8-bit scaling at any time using the Rescale command. Note that the Calibrate feature is disabled when importing a 16-bit stack and Fixed Scale is not checked.
Use the Import command to scale 16-bit images from medical scanners to the 8 bit format required by Image. For example, to import raw MRI scans from a GE SIGNA scanner, set width and height to 256, select 16-bit Signed, and set Offset to 14336. The macro 'Import GE Signa Files' (in the file Stacks) will automatically import a series of raw GE SIGNA files.
Check Open All to import all of the images in a folder. The images must all have the same width, height, etc. Open All does not work with imported text files and look-up tables.
Check Invert to invert imported 8-bit images.

Save
Resaves the currently active image or text window to disk. You will be prompted for a name in the case of an image newly created using New, Duplicate or Start Capturing. Files are resaved in their original format. In other words, TIFF files are resaved in TIFF format, and PICT files are resaved in PICT format.Hold down the option key (notice how Save changes to Save All) to save all currently open image windows.
Save As
Allows you to saves the currently active image (or rectangular selection) in TIFF, PICT or MacPaint) format, to save a stack in TIFF or PICS format, or to save the current look-up table, selection outline, or text window.Export
Exports images, look-up tables, measurement results, density profile plot values, or histogram values to disk for use with programs other thanImage.
Raw Pixel Data
Exports the current image (or selection) as binary pixel data, in row order, one byte per pixel, without a header.
MCID
Exports the current image (or selection) as an MCID file. MCID files have the same format as raw pixel data files, but are preceded by a four byte header which contains the width (minus one) and height (minus one), stored as two 16-bit numbers in Intel byte order.
Text
Exports the current image (or rectangular selection) as a tab-delimited, spreadsheet compatible text file consisting of uncalibrated pixel values.
Look-Up Table
Saves the current video Look-Up Table (LUT) as a 768 byte binary file consisting of 256 red values, 256 green values, and 256 blue values.
Measurements
Exports the current measurements to a tab-delimited text file compatible with spreadsheet and statistical analysis programs. Use the Analyze/Options dialog box to specify which measurements are recorded and/or exported. This option is also used to export angle measurements made with the angle tool, and X-Y coordinate measurements made with the cross hair tool. Measurements can also be exported by copying them to the Clipboard.
Plot Values
Exports the data values representing the most recent density profile to a text file. If you have just used the Calibrate command to do density calibration, and are viewing the density calibration plot, then this option exports the 256 Y-values of the current calibration plot.
Histogram Values
Exports the 256 gray level counts from the most recent histogram to a text file.
X-Y Coordinates
Exports the X-Y coordinates of the current selection outline as a two column, tab-delimited text file. X-Y coordinates of rectangular and oval selections, and selections that have been edited, can not be exported.
Exports the current image (or selection) as binary pixel data, in row order, one byte per pixel, without a header.

- Frame grabber input channel
- Import command options
- Most options in the Preferences dialog box
You can startup Image with customized settings by double-clicking on a copy of 'Image Prefs'. In this case, Image will use the settings in the copy. Note, however, that Record Preferences always saves the settings in the Preferences folder.
Revert to Saved
Reverts to the most recently saved version of the current image, effectively undoing all changes made since the last Save command. Reverting does not currently work with stacks or imported text files. For imported 16-bit images, this command changes to Rescale, described below.Rescale
Replaces Revert to Saved whenever an imported 16-bit image or imported 16-bit TIFF file is active. This command linearly scales the 16-bit data (on disk) from the range Min-Max to 1-254, where Min and Max are determined by using the controls in the Map window or by using the LUT tool. 16-bit pixels with values less than Min are set to 1 and 16-bit pixels with values greater than Max are set to 254. The image's absolute minimum and maximum pixel values are used if the LUT has not been altered.The Highlight Saturated Pixels option in the Preferences dialog box can be used determine locations within the image where density measurements may be invalid do to clipping at Min or Max. It causes pixels that were less than or equal to Min to be displayed in yellow and pixels that were greater than or equal to Max to be displayed in red.
Duplicate
Creates a new window displaying a copy of the current image, or of the current selection if only part of the image is selected. The newly created image inherits the look-up table, plus any spatial or density calibration, of the image being duplicated.Get Info
Displays an image window, such as the one below, giving information about the currently active image and about the status of the system.Acquire
Use this sub-menu to access Photoshop compatible acquisition plug-ins. The plug-ins must be stored in a folder named 'Plug-ins' located either in the same folder as Image or in the System Folder. Using plug-ins, Image can acquire 8-bit grayscale, 8-bit indexed color, and 24-bit color images. 24-bit color images are stored in three slice stacks and displayed using 8-bit indexed color, similar to the way the Capture Color command works.
