Dear list members,

Is there a command / macro to generate substacks from composite images
(8bit, 12bit, 16bit) by just entering the desired substack start/end plane
numbers?

The commands / plugins found under Image>Stacks>Manipulation work well with
single channel or RGB images. However, a composite images stack seems to be
treated like an interleaved one-channel stack presenting the total number of
single channel planes to the menus, and not the number of composite planes
displayed in the composite stack viewer.  

As a workaround, one may deinterleave the stack, crop each one-channel stack
and recombine the stacks again to generate a composite stack. But this is a
bit cumbersome and error-prone.


Best,

Guenter
