[Insight-users] Bug reading palette grayscale images in itkTiffImageIO.cxx

[Christoph Palm]

Hi all,

after problems with reading grayscale palette tif images
(the result was always black),
I found a posting of Maik Flanagin in the vtk users list.
There, he suggested a bug fix for RGB palette images. Now
I know, the same has to be done for grayscale palette images:

In the method

int TIFFImageIO::EvaluateImageAt( void* out, void* in )

I changed the following:

   case TIFFImageIO::PALETTE_GRAYSCALE:
      this->GetColor(*source, &red, &green, &blue);
      *image = static_cast<unsigned char>(red >> 8);

Now all works fine. I suggest to change this in the
itk source distribution.

Regards,

	Christoph
