To my knowledge, it does a bitwise AND (a&b) as executed in

http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ImageJA.git;a=blob;f=ij/process/ByteBlitter.java#l131

which does not seem to make too much of a sense in your application(?)

What do you actually expect the operation to do for you?

Best,
Stephan
