Description Pina Colarusso 2016-03-10 17:02:44 CST
We use Process-Batch-Marco:

path=File.directory+File.name;
run("Brightness/Contrast...");
setMinAndMax(500, 20000);
run("RGB Color");

The resulting files have occasional (0,0,0) files when they should be non-black. There is no reproducibility that we can find on which files will be written as "black." It seems to be random. We have tested this on 3 Mac laptops (2 running El Cap and one running Yosemite with the  the El Cap running latest version of FIJI as of today) while the Yosemite is using 1.50e. The PC seems to be fine- no black images. 

I am sending this bug report from Yosemite 10.8.5
Please note
that we tested the same data set when trouble-shooting though it happens with all data sets.
We also tried:
-pausing after the RGB command:
waitForUser( "Pause","Some \n Dialog"); 
-one one laptop running Yosemite, there seemed to be a correlation with slowing down the process and better results (few black images)
-we are reading and writing directly from the computers- no external drives
