Bio-Formats cannot write to proprietary file formats, and we have no plans for
it to do so. If you need to write to such a format, you will need to create a
writer yourself, and restore the format's header using the information from the
parsed original metadata table. So I am not sure what you are doing when you
are "trying to convert the OMEXML/OMETIFF back to the native image
format."<br>
