To write a single datatype image in .tif format.

I am trying to save an image without changing it's single data type and in .tif format. I have tried Matlab TIFF function and it worked good for int32 images. But it doesn't work with single type I figure. Also, when I tried to use simple imwrite function, it errored because single type must be converted to double. But when I change to double, I lose the image data as double scales the image to 255.

Would be great help if any hack suggested.

Hey @Walter Roberson,

I just found the solution in the TIFF function. There is a function parameter called tagStruct.SampleFormat, which is 2 for int32 and all and 3 for single data type. Changing that from 2 to 3 worked really fine.

But I will also check the link you've provided. Thanks a lot.
