So recently I had to stop using MultiImage to open up a large TIFF stack as I kept getting memory errors, even when using converse_memory=True (it ends up loading the entire file into memory regardless). I installed the tifffile module and used that instead, as it has the ability to open the file but load only one image at a time.
I think it would be nice if MultiImage was able to do this automatically (or by getting a plugin argument), especially since the behavior of the TiffFile class is conceptually very similar to MultiImage. Thoughts?
