Jeanine,
you can add a custom "open with 12-bit range" command to the Plugins/Macros
menu by adding the following macro to the StartupMacros.txt file:

macro "open with 12-bit range [F1]" {
open();
setMinAndMax(0,4095);
}

You could also install the recent "Droplet" plugin from:
http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/doku.php?id=plugin:utilities:droplet:start
and add the following "open with 12-bit range.txt" file in the
ImageJ/plugins/Droplet
Actions/ folder, so that you can just drag and drop your files on the
Droplet to have you images opened and the display range set immidiately.

// "open with 12-bit range.txt"
file=getArgument();
open(file);
setMinAndMax(0,4095);

Jerome.
