Help needed opening 24bit greyscale images

Markus Wollgarten
Hello all,

I would like to open images which are stored as 24-bit greyscale images
with a 2048-byte ASCII header, the image dimensions can vary but are
known (or can be read from the header). The images are produced by a
Ditabis imaging plate scanner (www.ditabis.de).
I took a look a the available ImageJ plugins, but none seems to be
appropriate.
In principle one could load the image data as 24bit RGB, split the
channels and then calculate the image as Red+256*(Green +256*Blue ).
However doing this for several images is time consuming.
I am not so experience in Java programming. Can this be done via the
Macro-Language? How?

I hope to find a Guru here, who could kindly help.

Thanks a lot in advance

Markus Wollgarten
