Hi Florian,

you are right, it should not work with other data types either,  
ImagePlus.setStack should simply put the same image data into the new  
image without duplicating them, irrespective of image type.

But you mention converting to 8 bits, maybe it is related to that? Of  
course, the 8-bit data are different from the original 16-bit or 32-
bit data, so modifying the 8-bit images cannot affect the original data.
