Merging Channels from 2 Images Macro

[Timbleton]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a macro that will allow me to merge two images together into two different channels - one into red and one into green. I'm not sure what should be put in for red= and green= once the two images are opened so that it works for any image, rather than the ones I used when I recorded the macro originally. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is what I've got so far:
path = getDirectory("Choose a Directory");
filename = getFileList(path);
for (i=0; i<filename.length; i++) {
open(path+filename[i]);
for (i=1; i<filename.length; i++) {
open(path+filename[i]);
dir2 = getDirectory("Choose Destination Directory");


run("Merge Channels...", "red=[___] green=[___] blue=*None* gray=*None*");

rename(filename[i]+"_merged");
saveAs("tiff", dir2+getTitle);
close();

Hello,
you need to put in the titles of the images. Store them in a variable
after opening the image.
For example something like this:

open(path+filename[i]);

redImage = getTitle();

....

run("Merge Channels...", "red=[" + redImage + "] green=[" + greenImage +"] blue=*None* gray=*None*");

Best regards,
Volker
