[ome-users] [Bio-Formats] JPEG-XR via CZI

[Doug Richardson]

Hi Alexandre,

If you update to ZEN2 it has much improved support for tif or bigtif export (both recognized by Fiji/Bioformats). Although it takes a very long time to open the largest files. During export we subset by scene and channel and this makes things manageable.

If you don't have ZEN2 you can get the somewhat clunkier stand alone czi to tif converter. Linked from here on our website: http://hcbi.fas.harvard.edu/resources_software

Zeiss should also be able to help you with this.

Doug
