1997.01.30 18:53 "16-bit TIFF?", by Eric W. Hansen

I have some 16-bit data from a CCD camera that was stored as a TIFF file. Only today have I learned that standard TIFF is limited to 8 bits. Is there a way to read my 16-bit TIFF files? Ideally, I'd like to have a Unix filter that could read my .tif files from standard input and write a text array to standard output, which I could redirect to a file and subsequently open with MATLAB.

Thanks,
