Hi Siggi, This functionality is not exposed by the imsave() apparatus, but can be accessed by the image writing functions in the plugin that imsave() calls. A quick scan through the source code is likely to be the most helpful thing, regarding the available flags, etc: https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits-image/blob/master/skimage/io/_plugi... In particular, the freeimage_plugin.write() function, around which freeimage_plugin.imsave() is a thin wrapper, allows you to set various flags. So: import skimage.io._plugins.freeimage_plugin as fi image = fi.read('/path/to/whatever') fi.write(image, 'whatever.tif', fi.IO_FLAGS.TIFF_NONE) Zach On May 12, 2012, at 4:04 AM, Sigmund wrote:
Hallo! To read uncompressed TIFF files I use the freeimage plugin. The reading works great but since last week I need to save a summed Image. I used the io.imsave() with the freeimage plugin but by default it writs a compressed TIFF file. The freeimage documentation provides Flags to use for different compressions or for a non compressed type (TIFF_NONE). Can someone tell me how to pass theses Flags to the plugin? I saw that Christophs 'tifffile' plugin does the job but still I would like to know how to use the freeimage plug-n for it.
Thanks!
