Hi, everyone!

I have been using ImageJ to export my 12 bit images for a long time. Today
I find out it is not a good idea because the "8  bit" function is not
working the way I thought. Instead of converting 0~4095 to 0~255, actually
it converts from min~max of that particular image to 0~255. I am wondering,
does anybody happen to know any plugins, macros or software to faithfully
do the conversion? Thank you very much!

Best,
Hao
