Problem with TIFF format

[R. C.]

We are manipulating an image with ImageJ and saving it in TIFF format, then
the image is not recognized with MS-Windows or other software.

We are trying with different bits per pixel or formats. Windows (and the
other programs) see the image with 0 (zero) bits per pixel.

We have to try with linux... but we need some propietary software that only
exists for MS-Windows

 Any idea?

Hi Alberto,

many simple programs can only read 8-bit and RGB tiffs. Maybe you have you
have 16-bit or float images? Then, convert them to 8 bits.

Hi Alberto,

I agree with Michael -- try 8-bit. Which Windows programs are you trying to
use? Also, have you tried writing the TIFFs using the Bio-Formats Exporter
plugin, to see if that makes a difference?

Hi,

IrfanView

http://www.irfanview.com/

has no problems reading ImageJ 8 and 16 Bit Tiffs!

You should try that. That any other software always reports zero bits/pixel
seems strange.

Irfanview will even "read" float ImageJ Tiffs, but seems to interpret the
data as RGB, so you will
get a funny "noisy" and colorful version of your image.

It should be no big problem to expand Irfanview to even correctly read the
later,
I remember it was already asked for in the respective forums, but nobody
has yet
done it AFAIK, if I had more info and some time, I would happily add via
some plugin.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Joachim Wesner
