Hello everybody,

I want to save a TIFF stack as a BigTIFF stack with matlab.

Wrote the following code:

function BigTIFF_converter (Stackname)

info = imfinfo(Stackname);

L=length(info);

outputFileName = strcat(Stackname(1:length(Stackname)-4),'_BIG.tif');

for i=1:L

frame = imread(Stackname, 'Index', i);

bigtiff = Tiff(outputFileName,'w8');

end

However this code doesn't work for single images nor for stacks. The resulting file cannot be opened with the Fiji Bioformats plugin.

Also reading in the frames in Matlab using

A = imread('Stackname_BIG.tif')

causes Matlab to crash. What do I do wrong? Does anybody know a different strategy to do the conversion?

Thanks a lot for help!!

Best
