Hello,

I have a very basic question, but since I never wrote a macro before I feel
really lost.
I need a simple macro that opens every separate file and that for every file
in a folder calculates its difference with a one specified picture and then
inverts it. I know how to do the difference: process>image calculator>
and how to invert ctrl+shift+i, however I do not know how to make it repeat
the function for every separate file, i.e. I do not know how to refer to my
files while writing the macro.

I would really appreciate your advice!

Oh, you will definitely need this as well!
     
fileName = File.getName(curDir);
selectWindow(fileName + ".tif");

Once you select a window, you can just run commands like you normally would.
