Fwd: OpenSlide library inquiry

[David Gutman]

Ben et al..

We've gotten VIPS and OpenSlide to work with each other now...

The files are being written out as YCbCr.... but one of the programs I
am using to view these (IIPIMAGE) seems to want RGB images.. Wasn't
sure if you knew of a way to transcode to RGB directly--- or if I have
to first use VIPS/Openslide to convert it to an LZW/TIFF single layer
file then convert it to a "pyramid" for visualization in RGB format..

Thanks again for your help.




  Compression Scheme: JPEG
  Photometric Interpretation: YCbCr
  Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs
  Samples/Pixel: 3
  Planar Configuration: single image plane
  Reference Black/White:
     0:     0   255
     1:   128   255
     2:   128   255
  JPEG Tables: (574 bytes)

Old Files that worked:
  Compression Scheme: JPEG
  Photometric Interpretation: RGB color
  Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs
  Samples/Pixel: 3
  Planar Configuration: single image plane
  ICC Profile: <present>, 141992 bytes
  JPEG Tables: (289 bytes)
