Thanks for the responses, but I errored in describing my problem.  I have a
series of slices with only green label unfortunately saved as RGB.
 Importing gives what you would expect, black images for red and blue
interspersed with green.  Channel selection doesn't seem to work with an
imported stack.  Just get back a message that I need to open a multichannel
image.  What I need to know is if there's a batch method of converting my
slice images prior to importing, or if there's a function to split the
channels of the stack.  Can't find instruction on doing this in import
directions, and can't find discussion of this elsewhere.

Thanks,
Mike Holloway
