hey i think you've got a valid usecase there, but it seems it's not so easy to beat libtiff into using a particular byte order (http://www.libtiff.org/libtiff.html#ByteOrder).
why don't you use 16-bit png? or exr? or pfm? that will have most precision but no metadata. tiff is a terrible, ancient file format with way too many weird switches. if i could i would drop support for it in darktable today.. -jo On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 4:19 AM, Laurence Meade <[email protected]> wrote: > I have started using Dark table to convert a load of Pentax camera dng > and pef files.
