I received the following assistance by Eric Kischell regarding the help I requested on 11-13-18. It allowed me to stabilize image intensity of a stack. Thanks.

Hi Eric,
Thank you so much! After I figured out that I needed to have an individual ROI for each image in the ROI manager, it worked exactly as stated.
I checked to make sure it stabilized the intensity as planned.
The original stack data showed an intensity changes of >15% as the experiment progressed through two cycles.
The intensity stabilized stack I generated with the macro you sent, changed by <4%.
More importantly, the area changes were much smaller after using the corrected stacks (as I suspected they would be). And the area changes that did occur were not correlated with any small changes in intensity – verifying the area changes are real!
Thanks again.
Should I post this to the help forum, or is the problem too specific?
Best wishes
Tom

Subject: Re: divide stack by list
Try the following macro.
Attached and inline.
Let me know what you think.
// Assumes that an ROI is defined for every slice in your stack.
// Normalizes each slice by the mean of each ROI.
// The input image is destructively modified.
macro "Fluor Divide"{
image_to_process = getImageID();
run("Set Measurements...", "mean redirect=None decimal=5");
selectImage(image_to_process);
roiManager("Show All");
roiManager("Measure");
for (i=1; i<=nSlices; i++){
roi_mean=getResult("Mean",(i-1));
run("Set Slice...", "slice="+i);
run("Divide...", "slice value="+roi_mean);
} // for loop
run("Select None");
run("Min...", "value=0 stack"); // if type was 32 bit
resetMinAndMax();
}

Tom,
I have found a good starting point (IJ macro)--
https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind1706&L=IMAGEJ&P=R22915&1=IMAGEJ&9=A&J=on&d=No+Match%3BMatch%3BMatches&z=4I replaced
run("Subtract...", "slice value="+bgmean);
by
run("Divide...", "slice value="+bgmean); // where bgmean could be an roi mean
I am having trouble understanding why
run("Plot Z-axis Profile"); gives the same mean for 3 different rois in 3 different slices?
Also
I am getting errors on the following line--
bgmean=getResult("Mean",(i-1)) .
If I cannot bypass these issues, I may have to develop a Java plugin.
