Hi Christian,
Thanks so much for your response. Maybe I'm missing something here,
but I don't understand how all the Pic code is in 8 bit, since on the
PDL homepage they have an example where they transform a JPEG image of
a space shuttle which is a 24 bit image. They use 'wim' to export and
I thought that was a Pic subroutine. I don't necessarily have to
output a TIFF, just any image format that will hold all of my values
above 255. Do I have another option?
