If you decide to go the NIH-Image way, you can use the following Macro
written by Wayne.
 
 
The following macro will save all the slices in a stack as individual
numbered TIFF files with a '.TIFF' extension.
 
macro 'Save Slices as Files';
{Saves the slices in a stack as individual files with a '.TIFF' extension.}
var
  i,stack:integer;
 begin
  stack:=PidNumber;
  for i:= 1 to nSlices do begin
     SelectPic(stack);
     SelectSlice(i);
     Duplicate(i:3,'.TIFF');
     SaveAs;
     Dispose;
  end;
end;
 
dd
