[Insight-users] Reading TIFF

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Swati,

What version of ITK are you using ?

The TIFF ImageIO class was added only
recently (Nov 25 2003). It may be that
your version is previous to this addition.
For example, if you are using ITK 1.4, the
tiff reader/writer will not be available.

Have you set a try/catch block around
the Update() call ?

The message from the exception will
help you figure out the source of the
error.


I just verified using:

  Insight/Examples/IO/RGBImageReadWrite.cxx

and works fine for converting the image:

  Insight/Examples/Data/VisibleWomanEyeSlice.png

into

   VisibleWomanEyeSlice.tif

or

   VisibleWomanEyeSlice.tiff


No modifications are needed in the
RGBImageReadWrite.cxx file.


Regards,


    Luis
