Hi all,

I'm trying to import a 16-bit tiff image into a numpy array. I have found, using google, suggestions to do the following:

After starting with: i = Image.open('16bitGreyscaleImage.tif')

Stéfan van der Walt suggested: a = np.array(i.getdata()).reshape(i.size) # a 1d numpy array

As an aside, if you have matplotlib installed, you might be able to sidestep this problem completely with matplotlib.image.pil_to_array. Cheers, David
