Fwd: Re: [Image-SIG] Reading 16bit image

[Bob Klimek]

I've managed to read in a 16-bit TIFF image in the following way. I don't 
know if it will work for all 16-bit images but here it goes. It read 16-bit 
images save by a package called IMAP.

imgDir = '/home/klimek/Images/16-bit'
inFile = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(imgDir, '16-bit-IMAP.tif'))
f = open(inFile, 'rb')
allData = f.read()
f.close()
offset = 8 # this was determined from "StripOffsets" tag by reading an 
8-bit IMAP image
data = allData[offset : 1024*1024*16/8+offset] # 16-bit saved by IMAP
im = Image.fromstring("F", (1024,1024), data, "raw", "F;16", 0,1)
pix1 = im.getpixel((50,50))
pix2 = im.getpixel((500,300))
print pix1, pix2
