Dear Dan,

Thank you for your reply! I installed the EBImage package as you
recommended. But I still get one error message. Namely, when I load the
package (library("EBImage")), I get the following complain:

Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
  cannot initialize ImageMagick
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'EBImage'

I hope you know what is going wrong. Sorry for the inconvenience and again
thank you very much for your help!

Jordi
