[TIFF images always saved in 8bit format]

Thanks. That was helpful.

[TIFF images always saved in 8bit format]

I assume 16 bit per pixel component.... "imageMagick's mogrify.exe -identity" tells me this:

 

201404080001520049S.tif TIFF 5714x1184 5714x1184+0+0 16-bit Grayscale Gray 13.54MB 0.156u 0:00.360

[TIFF images always saved in 8bit format]

Hello all,

 

It appears the software saves any TIFF image with 8bit quantification, regardless the bit depth of the input image. This means it will overwrite and discard any depth information of TIFF images with high depth resolution (e.g. 16 bit TIFFs). It seems to occur in all situations, opening and saving without any image operations would produce this result.

 

Can somebody please confirm? 

Why is this happening?

Is there a way to circumvent this?

 

Thanks

Wicher
