I'm not a big fan of Java based apps but the fact the it works across
platforms (in theory anyway but not always in practice) makes it a popular
choice with many developers. And there aren't many Java apps like ImageJ
which specialize in analyzing images. ImageJ runs either as an online applet
or as a downloadable application which you'll find here. ImageJ can display,
edit, analyze, process, save and print 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit images and
supports most major formats including TIFF, GIF, JPEG, BMP, DICOM, FITS and
"raw". The main use of ImageJ is that it can calculate area and pixel values
which may be useful for graphic designers. It does however go a little beyond
that too allowing you to measure distances and angles, create density
histograms and also line profile plots. It supports other standard image
processing functions too such as contrast manipulation, sharpening,
smoothing, edge detection and median filtering. Although ImageJ can be a bit
slow in Java, its a decent image analysis tool considering its completely
