Hi Aman, Could you post a minimal example? I've tried the following and it seems to work fine on my machine: ```python

...

...

import numpy as np im = np.random.rand(5, 5) im[0, 0] = -1 im[1, 1] = 1 from skimage import morphology as mor, filter as fil selem = mor.disk(2) med = fil.rank.median(im, selem) med array([[220, 220, 180, 216, 166], [220, 180, 216, 200, 200], [126, 180, 171, 180, 200], [119, 126, 155, 171, 216], [104, 119, 126, 171, 171]], dtype=uint8)

Also, please post the version of scikit-image you're using.

 But anyway, off the top of my head, no, I don't have any clear idea of
what's going wrong!

Juan.
