Timo,

as Gabriel tells us, there is a menu item "Convert" that, however is
part of Fiji, not ImageJ. Please note that opposite to the claim that
Fiji is just ImageJ, this is not the case...

I can't find any description of the functionality of this command, but
here are the source and the coder that may be contacted for further details.
<https://github.com/imagej/imagej-ops/tree/imagej-ops-0.45.5/src/main/java/net/imagej/ops/convert>

Regards

Herbie
