Reducing Stack size

TSchuerlein
I am trying to work with a large image stack (1000 SEM images, 1 MB each). I can open as an 8bit stack and do a simple segmentation (threshold) and convert to binary. However, if I want to view in 3d, the 3D Viewer hangs up due to the large stack size. I can save the images as JPEGs and save (no luck saving as a binary), but when I open the images into a stack they still open as 8 bit TIFFs. Can I open the stack as a type smaller than 8bit TIFF? Unfortunately, I might ultimately need to work with stacks that are up to 2GB- possibly 4GB. Thank you, Tom Schuerlein
