I'm interested in finding out about digital imaging and post-processing
software that allows you to check off a box somewhere to record
everything you're doing.  That function is available in Photoshop using
History Log, and it's also available in Image Pro Plus.  Do any of the
imaging packages for the microscope manufacturers provide this, or any
other software from other companies?

Perhaps other archiving/tracking functions are available?

Feel free to answer on- or off-line.

Most commercial imaging packages allow some sort of recording/creating
macros. For the purpose of documenting/archiving/reusing  I personally like
Matlab which  records all your actions and keeps track of all parameters
and data arrays (images, etc). Some general programming skills are required
but you can convienently reuse/modify all or part of your actions and/or
images.
Interactive actions may not be recorded in details so it may be useful to
run in parallel other software that captures PC screen to a movie.
 
Best,
Arvydas

MetaMorph has been placing that information into its images since day 1
(because Image-1/AT probably did as well). If acquired by MetaMorph,
includes whatever camera info (exposure time, binning, ...) and
microscope settings that MetaMorph knows. Available in Edit menu ->
Image info (including logging the text to the data log file or Excel by
DDE). Goes into the file if saved as TIFF or STK (not if bmp).

I would add that ImageJ has a rudimentary record option that is used to
construct macros.  Unfortunately, it tends not to retain the values for
some operations, but just the process sequence.  The file can then be saved
as a text.

Jerry,

Zeiss ZEN software features an integrated development environment for
Macros also allowing recording.  The Macro language is Python based. For
more information please contact
http://forums.zeiss.com/microscopy/community/

no commercial interest.
