Parameters
Input image (default = "") Image to be saved to file.
Append date/time mode (default = "Never") Controls under what conditions the time and date will be appended on to the end of the image filename. This can be used to prevent accidental over-writing of images from previous runs:
- "Always" Always append the time and date on to the end of the filename.
- "If file exists" Only append the time and date if the results file already exists.
- "Never" Never append time and date (unless the file is open and unwritable).
File format (default = "TIF") The format the output image will be saved as:
- "AVI" Video written using the stock ImageJ "AVI Writer". Videos can use different compression algorithms specified using "Compression mode". Framerate specified by "Frame rate (fps)" parameter.
- "TIF" Standard multidimensional (multi-page) TIF image saving.
- "ZIP" TIF images stored using ZIP compression. For images with large homogeneous regions of pixel intensity this can greatly reduce file size in a lossless manner. Zipped images can be read directly back into ImageJ/Fiji without the need for prior decompression.
Channel mode (default = "Composite") Control whether saved images should be in ImageJ "Composite" (display all channels simultaneously) or "Color" (display one channel at a time) mode.
Save as RGB (default = "false") Convert images to RGB prior to saving. This is useful for displaying multi-channel images to a format that can be easily viewed outside ImageJ.
Compression mode (default = "None") Compression mode used when saving AVI videos ("File format" parameter):
- "JPEG" Lossy video compression with quality specified by "Quality (0-100)" parameter. This option is good when reducing video size is more important than retaining perfect image quality.
- "None" Frames are stored in their raw format (uncompressed). This gives the highest quality, but also the largest file size.
- "PNG" PNG video compression.
Quality (0-100) (default = "100") Quality of output JPEG-compressed video (values in range 0-100). For reference, saving AVIs via ImageJ's "File > Save As..." menu uses a quality of 90.
Frame rate (fps) (default = "25") Output video framerate (frames per second).
Flatten overlay (default = "false") Flatten any overlay elements onto the image prior to saving.
Generic format (default = "") Format for a generic filename. Plain text can be mixed with global variables or metadata values currently stored in the workspace. Global variables are specified using the "V{name}" notation, where "name" is the name of the variable to insert. Similarly, metadata values are specified with the "M{name}" notation.
Available metadata fields (default = "") List of the currently-available metadata values for this workspace. These can be used when compiling a generic filename.
