[ome-users] ome-users Digest, Vol 51, Issue 17 --> stitching channels in to tiff files

[Cornelissen, Frans [PRDBE]]

Hi Bram,

I have the same issue: combining different channels in 1 tiff file and
import them in OMERO so that Insight shows all the channels combined.
What can be done is to turn the individual TIFF files into OME-TIFF
before
Uploading them to OMERO.
This only means that you embed an XML string into your tiff file; all
tiff readers will still be able to read the file as well.
The XML can specify that a certain tiff file is a channel that belongs
to a group of channels, so they will be imported into OMERO as
one-multi-channel image
Take a look at http://www.loci.wisc.edu/ome/ome-tiff-code.html

Cheers, frans

Thanks Frans!

Despite the helpful answers I discovered that my original question was
not specific to my situation. Stitching together TIFF files using
different programs such as loci.formats.tools.ImageConverter or ImageJ
resulted in a stacked image file where each image represents a different
time-point. However, what I need is that each image represents a
different channel. Does anyone know how can this be accomplished?

Kind Regards,
Bram

Hi Bram,

For simple stitching, you can use ImageMagick or JMAgick :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmagick/

For non-exactly-matching images, you can use largemontage, also a java
app & handles tiff
http://vtuo.pp.fi/software/largemontage/

hope this helps,
cheers,frans

Thanks Chris and Brian!

When do you think stitching arbitrary tiff files will be supported?

Kind Regards,
Bram

Hi Bram,

Then Brian's suggestion is probably the best place to start. We don't
have support for stitching arbitrary TIFFs together I'm afraid.

Thanks.
