Memory Issue

[Carlos Arturo Durán Flórez]

Hi everybody,

I've been using ImageJ for couple of months.
I use ImageJ with ImageIO plug in[1], to open tiff images.

In my application, the environment in which ImageJ and ImageIO have
to run is restricted, it allows only 50MB of memory usage.

When trying to open a tiff file of 596KB of size and 10 pages inside
(yes, its a multipage tiff), the memory usage of ImageJ is about 110MB!

I can't modify the environment restrictions, so I ask you for help in
order to
discover a way to make ImageJ's memory usage becomes much lower.

Thanks for your attention

Is there a reason you cannot use ImageJ's built-in TIFF support?

This sounds like a bug in the ImageIO TIFF reader.

Solving this problem would most likely require some debugging and
experimentation. I would be willing to look into it if you can provide
me access to the TIFF file(s) causing you difficulty.

Dear Sir,

I am new with the Image J. Who can help me write a macro to calculate the Diffusion Coefficient?
