[ome-devel] Metadata, restoring the metadata of the native image format from an OMEXML/OMETIFF file

Hi Ghislain,

I wanted to know how I could recover the proprietary tags of an image

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."
