[ome-users] OMERO - answer to your question on Facebook

[Christophe TREFOIS]

Hi

Well it is all about usability for me. If I tell a user to upload the image to OMERO, and then work on it from ImageJ, it would be great if some things could be saved in OMERO afterwards. For instance, the workflow you described where ROIs are updated could be quite nice.

The idea is: do you use OMERO only for image storage or do you also use to hold your results? In the latter case, this is where 2-way sync will be the most important.

Also as you mentioned, having ImageJ open directly from OMERO would be cool. Does this work already today? Also on the web ? There could be a menu -> Open with ImageJ, similar as there is a “Download as…” button currently. Small things like that are tremendous improvements in UX.

Best,
