How to find percentiles of intensity

Hi,
I would like to perform contrast stretching for an 8-bit image. When I use
set min and max, it gives me 0-255. (which does absolutely nothing in terms
of contrast stretching) When I check in ImageJ what values are used, it
looks like it takes 0 as min and 105 as max for a specific image that I
examined.

So my question is:

Is it possible to get less extreme values of the intensity values in order
to ignore the outliers, say the 5th and 95th percentiles of the intensity
values? If so - how?

Thank you,
Avital
