Dvoralai,
I think this can be done if you add a step in between (2) and (3) in your macro:
Image->Adjust->Brightness/Contrast
Click "Set" in the contrast window, and set the scale to be -1 to +1
Alternatively, you can use the Image->Adjust->Threshold command to threshold to NaN (not an number) any pixel values that do not fall between -1 to +1. This will change the max and min of the intensity range to be -1 and +1 respectively.
Apologies if this is what you are already describing in your original email.
