Russ Croucher 0 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I am using "Pixillion" version 8.09 to convert a 16-bit TIF file of 48 bits per pixel to reverse the image. The scanner requires the emulsion side of the image to be reversed to produce Optima and results. In using this program as the last step 2 reverse all pictures in a folder it downsizings the that TIF files to 8 bits. This is fine with JPEG but not 16 bit TIF files. Is there a solution?

Russ Croucher 0 Posted Thursday at 07:09 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 07:09 PM I have not heard from anybody I'm trying to filter 16-bit TIF files is that possible? It seems that it downsize that the 8 bits which is not acceptable is this a limit? Link to post Share on other sites
Fred28 0 Posted Friday at 10:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:58 PM I´m not sure I understand what you are trying to do, Pixillion is an image file converter, you might need to provide some screenshots of what you are trying to do and the steps you have taken. I would suggest you contact NCH technical Support for assistance here: https://www.nch.com.au/support/index.html Link to post Share on other sites
Russ Croucher 0 Posted Saturday at 03:28 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 03:28 AM I have all 100 MB 16-bit TIF file that I want to reverse mirror and produce a 16-bit output TIF file and it seems like it only downsize it to 8 bits and converted to a 23 MB 8-bit TIF file. The filter and the structure of the folder works great but it seemed like it only outputs an 8 bit TIF file not as 16-bit TIF file. Is this true? Link to post Share on other sites
Chris75 0 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Hello, I tested the program and the only time I got the 8bit images was when selecting the 256 color option under options. If you don't use this option you will get 16 ir 24bit images, depending on the original file bit depth. Link to post Share on other sites
Russ Croucher 0 Posted 17 hours ago Author Share Posted 17 hours ago I'm frustrated because the 100 MB file I mentioned above has 48 bits of color 16 each for RGB. Once I mirror the TIF file, it is 1/5 the size and the color depth is only 24 bits which would be 8 bits for each RGB. I did see the 256 option and did not check it because I read about it and that would just defeat everything. Link to post Share on other sites
