Steve, 

the output image was really transparent, i.e. my image viewer showed a grey white checker pattern to indicate transparency. My actual implementation based on the Juan's hint regarding skimage.io.concatenate_images circumvents this issues by not creating an empty array in the first place, and by discarding the alpha channel. 

Regards,
Marcel

Steve, that is a *great* catch!!! =D

Marcel,

When you say the output image was transparent, you mean it was all white?  I believe what happened is your call to `np.empty` creates a floating point array, which skimage expects to be in the range [0, 1], but your data is in the range [0, 255].  If you used `dtype=np.uint8` in your `np.empty` call, I suspect it would work.


Regards,

Steve

Hi all, 


I'm not sure if it is a bug, or whether I've just overlooked something obvious, but the internet did not offer much regarding this issue. I try to get slices from an image cube which consists of several images s = 1,...,n with the same dimensions. My new slice should have the width of the original images and the height of the number of images. Here is the code to do this: 


from skimage.io import ImageCollection, imsave

from os.path import join

import numpy as np


def main(dir):

   ic = ImageCollection( join(dir, '*.png' ) )

   row = 0  

   img = np.empty((len(ic), ic[0].shape[1], ic[0].shape[2]  ) )        

   for s in range(len(ic)):    

       img[s,...] = ic[s][row,...]


#   fname = 'new_{0:03d}.jpg'.format(v) # -> wrong colors

   fname = 'new_{0:03d}.png'.format(v)  # -> output image is transparent
       imsave(fname, img)



The problem is that the output images are all transparent. My input files are .png images with an alpha channel. I have also checked the values of the alpha channel of the output which are all set to 255, which, at least to my knowledge, should set the opacity to 100%. 


Regards, 

Marcel
