Hi Dan,

Although the TIFF specification includes a binary variant, ImageJ does not support it.
Notice that even after you convert your image to binary, it still says "8-bit" at the top of the image.

However, if you save it as "ZIP" it will be much smaller than the zip file of the original image.
ImageJ can re-open such zipped files directly.

Subject: binarized stack file size?

Hello all,

I have an 800+ MB TIFF stack, and when I convert it to binary and save, the
file size remains 800+ MB.  I would have expected the binary file to be
considerably smaller than the stack of 8-bit TIFFs.  Is there something that
I'm doing wrong, or is it my lack of understanding of different file types?

Many thanks,
Dan
