ImageJ

ImageJ is the least intuitive program i have ever encountered.  I admit to not being “wired” in the same way as many programmers, but to spend three hours and not be able to find the “select” tool says as much about me as it does about the individuals who wrote this originally and the people who added plugins.

  1. for starters, it is annoying like PyMol in that there are two or three separate visual blocks to have to click on when one wants the program to be visible… why?
  2. There is no pointer tool for select, as there is in photoshop or corelDRAW or illustrator ??? here is the set…. where is the select tool.

Why is there only ONE level of undo?  I set corelDRAW for 99 levels of undo…. and use that function to make and copy objects with slight variations all the time…. I can only find one level of undo in this program.. … what am I missing.

Pen tools…. why a dotted line as default, pen tool, why doesn’t analyze tell me the length, why cant lines be selected and deleted with the delete key or backspace?  Yes, this program may be good for some, but it a nightmare for other people.  I apologize to no one, no one can condescend or condemn… this is a very onesided interface. In my defense I have used other imaging software, and corelDRAW for 25 years – which i love,   but Image J– this program just sucks.
