ImageJ cannot open TIFF files compressed in this fashion (4)
Does anybody know how to open this type of tiff with imageJ?
If imageJ can't handle it "out of the box" would imageJ + JIMI or JAI do the trick?
Thanks

Hi Dennis,

This compression mode indicates T.6-Encoding, also known as Group 4 Fax.
You could try the ImageJ Jimi plugin from
<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/jimi.html>.

I am currently working on a Java TIFF reader; it is possible I could end
up implementing compression=4. If I do, I will contribute the code to
ImageJ.

Thanks for the information. I will try the JIMI plugin. If you need a beta tester for your TIFF reader, let me know.

Thanks
