Maximum intensity projection of multipage TIFF

Is it possible to calculate the maximum intensity projection of a multi-page tiff and save it as a new tiff without having to extract the individual images from the tiff first ? I haven't found a solution on the forums yet, other than this post from a while ago viewtopic.php?t=15711 but it's dealing with separate images.
I am currently doing this using ImageJ but it's very slow.
Thanks !

Thank you very much ! That works exactly as I wanted.

(As a side note - I had to update my version of ImageMagick from 6.5.4 to the latest version for this work. I wasn't aware that the -evaluate-sequence option wasn't supported available in my old installation)

If you have doubts, check the changelog at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php. That lists most of the upgrades.

IM 6.5.4 is about 370 versions old. IM is always making improvements. I always upgrade my system for every minor upgrade of IM. I would never let my system get that old!
