In this chapter, we will take a look at ways to automate our image processing to allow for faster and more efficient processing. The processing we did earlier was adequate, but time consuming. When dealing with very large stacks or time series, or with many individual files, the processing we performed was good but inefficient. We will look at macros in ImageJ and understand how they will help us with the processing. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
Recording and running macros
Modifying macros
User input in macros
Progress in macros
Running macros in batch mode
Installing macros
