[ome-users] ImageConverter: Big image to OME-TIFF fails

[Matthias Baldauf]

Hello all,

Conversion of big images (series >= 4096 x 4096 pixel) to OME-TIFFs 
using LOCI Tools 4.4.8 and bfconvert/ImageConverter always fails with 
the following exception:

bfconvert -series 0 CMU-2.svs test.ome.tiff
CMU-2.svs
SVSReader initializing CMU-2.svs
Reading IFDs
Populating metadata
Populating OME metadata
[Aperio SVS] -> test.ome.tiff [OME-TIFF]

A SVS test image of OpenSlide was used in the case above. However, the 
exception is thrown for other big image formats too. I tried using the 
latest trunk build but the exception remains.

May I ask you to have a look at it?
Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Matthias
