save U32 bit image as 16 bit tiff

[spartan2387]

Right now I am using IMAQ to grab a RGB(U32) color image in real-time. I am then trying to save the image as a 16 bit tiff file. However, the images only save as 8 bit tiff files. How can I fix this problem?

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

The simple VI that I attached reads an image from file and writes it as a TIFF.  If you would like to test it, you can open up one of the images in the Vision >> Images folder (for example, candy.png which is U32) and you will see that it should save it as a U32 TIFF file.  If the image you are reading in is I16 (i.e. IMAQ Create has type I16 wired in as a constant) then you should get an appropriate image out.  If you are successful with this VI, I would recommend migrating it into your application.  I hope this helps give you a good start.
