Hi Bela,
Unfortunately, the OIB format is quite complex, and it is unlikely
that you could use Import>Raw effectively with it. The file is
structured as a Microsoft OLE2 database format, meaning the OIB file
essentially contains a virtual file system (like an OIF directory).
Inside that file system are TIFF files, whose image planes could be
encoded using multiple noncontiguous strips, and even potentially
compressed. As such, using Import>Raw effectively would be at best
tricky, and more likely infeasible.
For what purpose are you looking to use Import>Raw instead of
Bio-Formats? The Bio-Formats importer plugin should be scriptable in a
macro.
