The easy way to run a macro on all the images in a folder is to use the
new Process>Batch>Macro command, available in ImageJ 1.43f or later.

   1. Specify the source folder in "Input"
   2. Specify the output folder in "Output"
   3. Select the output file format
   4. Paste the macro into the text area
   5. Press "Test" to test the macro on the first image in the input
folder
   6. Press "Process" to run the macro on all the images in the input
folder
