Subject: displaying 16-bit TIFF

Hi, folks,

Does anyone know what happens when I open a 16-bit TIFF file? I guess
the intensity should have been converted to 8-bit so that it can be
displayed on monitor. I can tell that the conversion is definitely NOT
like *255/65535. Maybe the conversion was taken according to some tags
hidden in the file? Any tip is appreciated. Thanks!

Chuan
