How to convert a 16-bit image to 8-bit

I am having difficulties in skeletonizing my image. Although I already threshold my image, it still cannot be skeletonized. When I create the image using IMAQ create, the image type must be set to 16-bit, otherwise it will create an error message. An enthusiast in the forum told me that the image must be 8-bit so that it can be skeletonized. But I do not know how to convert the image from 16-bit to 8-bit. So is there anybody out there that can provide me with a solution. Attached is the VI that I used. Really appreciate your help.

You can convert any DisplayObject to byeArray using this function ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData().getPixels()

HOW TO CONVERT RAW FILES TO JPEG RGB 8 BIT in iphoto

Can someone please tell me how to convert RAW files to jpeg RGB 8 bit in iphoto on an iMac?

How are you trying to "export to Mypics"? The only way to get a Raw out of iPhoto is to export with the Kind set to Original.

Need conversion mechanism for converting 24 bit image to 16 bit

In my java project I need to convert 24 bit image to 16 bit image. I don't have any clue. Please provide me the option to implement it.
Thanks,
jai

That doesn't tell me much, and I know what you're talking about. I doubt that it tells the OP anything useful whatsoever.Sorry EJP, it was a mouthful I know. Maybe this will help instead, a ColorConversionOps class to work on *32 bit > 16 bit > 32 bit colors*. To help clarify where the 16 bit color input and output goes, some of the methods return or require parameters of type short. Also take notice the bitmask for variables of type short vs the bitmasks for int. AND pay particular attention to the unsigned right bit-shifting of the most-significant-digit.
public class ColorConversionOps
public static short convert32_16(int rgb) {
    int a = ((rgb & 0xF0000000) >>> 16);
    int r = ((rgb & 0x00F00000) >> 12);
    int g = ((rgb & 0x0000F000) >>   8);
    int b = ((rgb & 0x000000F0) >>   4);
    return (short)( a | r | g | b);
public static int convert16_32(short rgb) {
    int a = ((rgb & 0xF000) << 16);
    int r = ((rgb & 0x0F00) << 12);
    int g = ((rgb & 0x00F0) << 8);
    int b = ((rgb & 0x000F) << 4);
    return (a | r | g | b);
public static void printRGB_32(int rgb) {
    System.out.println("a="+((rgb & 0xFF000000) >>> 24));
    System.out.println("r="+((rgb & 0x00FF0000) >> 16));
    System.out.println("g="+((rgb & 0x0000FF00) >> 8));
    System.out.println("b="+ (rgb & 0x000000FF));
    System.out.println();
public static void printRGB_16(short rgb) {
    System.out.println("a="+((rgb & 0xF000) >>> 12));
    System.out.println("r="+((rgb & 0x0F00) >> 8));
    System.out.println("g="+((rgb & 0x00F0) >> 4));
    System.out.println("b="+ (rgb & 0x000F));
    System.out.println();
}Now to make the conversion from 32 bit color to 16 bit color and back. NOTICE there willl be a loss of precision -- just like someone else has already said.
public class Test
public static void main(String[] args)
    int rgb = 0xFFFFFFFF;
    ColorConversionOps.printRGB_32(rgb);
    //a=255
    //r=255
    //g=255
    //b=255
    rgb = ColorConversionOps.convert32_16(rgb);
    ColorConversionOps.printRGB_16((short)rgb);
    //a=15
    //r=15
    //g=15
    //b=15
    rgb = ColorConversionOps.convert16_32((short)rgb);
    ColorConversionOps.printRGB_32(rgb);
    //a=240
    //r=240
    //g=240
    //b=240
}And now we see, the reason 16bit color is so unpopular to the rest of the world, but not for us here!

Can PSE8 for mac convert an 8 bit image to 16 bit?

can Photoshop Elements 8 for mac convert an 8 bit image to 16 bit?
I use Photomatix Pro and when I am working with a single image in Photomatix Pro, it has to be 16 bit.

Yes, you can. These are the steps when using the elements editor.
Depending on the file format:
1. If this file is from a camera raw file, simply open the original
    raw file and at the bottom of the camera raw dialog choose 16 bits.
    This would open the file in pse editor as a 16 bit file.
    Then save as a tif file with no compression.
2. If the file is a jpg or tif file, in the pse editor select: File>Open As>Camera Raw.
    This will open the file in the camera raw dialog. Then select 16 bit from the menu
    at the bottom of the camera raw dialog. After the file opens in pse editor, in 16 bits,
    save as a tif with no compression.
3. If the file is a psd file with no layers, then step 2 will work. If the psd file has layers,
    open the the file in pse editor and resave the file using maximize compatibilty.
    This will allow the psd file to have both layers and open in the camera raw dialog as
    in step 2. When you open the file in the pse editor, it will just be a single layer and then
    just save as a tif file with no compression.
Hope this helps.

Quicktime converting 24 bit images to 16 bit images on paste

I am doing image processing of a QuickTime (7.1.5 pro) movie in Photoshop (CS2) using Applescript. When I copy an image (either with Applescript or manually) and paste it into a new QuickTime Player movie the image gets converted to a video depth of 16 (thousands) rather than 24. I have tried:
set DestMovie to make new movie with properties {data rate:SourceRate, video depth:24, high quality:true} -- I also tried video depth:0
paste
I also try:
tell movie 1
paste given video depth:24 -- I've also tried just paste
end tell
and still it converts my images to thousands. The image gets to photoshop perfectly. If I paste it into a Pages document the image depth is correct. I have tried both RGB and CMYK in 8 and 16 bit depths in Photoshop. If I save the file as JPEG in high quality mode and then open the file with Quicktime and copy and paste it, it works great, the only problem is I then have to make a new file for every image I process because if I close the file, QuickTime keeps it open so Photoshop can't then save to the same file.....
Will someone please help me figure out how to keep my image quality on pasting into Quicktime???
Thanks
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I open my original movie in Quicktime. I make a new movie in Quicktime for the modified images to be pasted into.
I copy the current frame from my source movie and paste it into Photoshop. I do my image processing and then save as a jpeg high quality and close my file (which strips out the audio from a muxed mpeg-1 file) then reopen the file in Photoshop. Now I have a good quality image in Photoshop. I have been using RGB 8 bit as my mode in Photoshop. I only tried CMYK to see if it would work better. It was exactly the same.
I then do a select all and copy in Photoshop, then go to Quicktime and do a paste. This is when it gets converted to 16 bit depth. If I do the same exact sequence and paste into a Pages document the image stays 24 bit, so I am pretty sure it is something in Quicktime.
Again, if I save the file in Photoshop and then open the same file in Quicktime, copy the image and then paste it into my destination movie, it works great. The only problem with this method is I have 15 minutes of video to process with is 27,000 jpeg files in the end. I prefer to use one file if I can. The reason for the 27,000 files is that when I open an image in Quicktime and paste it into a movie, it saves it as a track in the movie and even when I close the original file, Quicktime keeps it as in use. When I look at the movie properties, it keeps the original file in the list until I do a save as movie and it flattens the movie. If I flatten the movie once, then when I do another save, it keeps the original file open again. I would have to do a save as movie... again 27,000 movie files now. Geez...
Thanks!

How to convert a folder of images to a Collection?

Ques 1
How do I convert a folder of images that has been sorted, files rejected, files hidden, and so on, to a Collection? When I create a New Collection and drag the images across from the folder, all editing is lost and the images appear in alphabetical order. I'm using CS6.
Ques 2
What is the location of the file that contains the sorted/rejected/hidden data for a folder?

A Collection is just a saved search. It does not contain any images.

How to convert HTML text to image

Hi all!
I´m having this problem: I have a html code (dynamic generated) and I need to convert it to a image, any idea how to do that?
Thanks, J.

Im no Java2D expert but if you want the actual code as an image couldnt you just use 'drawString("<br>", x, y)' to display it and then allow it to be saved as an image, I know theres built in capability in Java to import/export common image formats. Or do you mean you want what the html actually produces as an image?

Convert 256-bit image to one-bit

OK here's a frameworkUmm... Drawing onto a BI of TYPE_BYTE_BINARY should achieve this in just a few lines. The API says
When color data is stored in an image of this type, the closest color in the colormap is determined by the IndexColorModel and the resulting index is stored. Approximation and loss of alpha or color components can result, depending on the colors in the IndexColorModel colormap.
Of course, if this is homework then OP will probably be required to reinvent the wheel.

How to convert BufferedImage back to Image

I have an Image from ImageIcon and i want to cut it using BufferedImage.getSubImage(...) and now from BufferedImage i want to turn it to Image again so that i can put in ImageIcon.
Here is my code:
URL img = new URL(location);
ImageIcon imgIcon = new ImageIcon(img);
Image image = imgIcon.getImage();
//turn image into bufferedImage via graphic draw
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(..);
Graphics g = bi.createGraphics();
g.drawImage(image,0,0,null);
bi.getSubImage(...);
// how to turn bi back to Image newImage
any ideas??

More correctly, BufferedImage extends Image as Image is an abstract class and not an interface.

How to convert color of bitmap image?

I am programming with Acrobat 7.
I'd like to change color of all object to CMYK color or gray.
In case of plain object like path or font,
I need to seek CMYK color from the object's RGB color.
and I change the property of the object color space and value with it.
but in case of bitmap image, i don't know how to at all.
it has numerous colors.
I hope your advice.

Thank you both of you.
by the way, Leonard, Could you tell me that APIs more detailly?
I have look into the document for long time. it is still hard to find proper API.
I have to say this again. I am trying to find APIs based on version 7.
I am using custom function ACEconvertColorProfile which is placed in snippetrunner. it consists of these APIS ACMakeColorTransform, ACApplyTransform, and so on.
but I can't find the way to convert bitmaps once and for all.
I hope you give more hint.
Thanks again.

How to Convert FLIR Gray Scale Image to a Temperature Map in NI VBAI

I have been working with a FLIR A315 Infra-Red camera and NI's VBAI software. I need to determine the presence and continuity of a hot mastic foam that has been injected into the hollow bulb of a rubber weatherstrip seal in 4 adjacent locations that flow together inside the weatherstrip bulb to form a continuous foamed mastic plug.
So far, I have been able to trigger image acquistions in VBAI from a FLIR IR camera by monitoring an Allen-Bradley PLC's status bit. The communication with the FLIR A315 camera is via the IMAQdx GigE driver. However, I haven't figured out how to detemine the temperatures from the gray scale images I receive from the FLIR camera. I wonder if someone could give me some pointers on how to do this.
I have attached some images below to illustrate what I am working with and how far I've gotten.
iPhone_Photo.jpg - shows a photograph of the weatherstrip section that the FLIR IR camera is "looking" at.
FLIR_IR_Monitor.jpg - a screen capture of a FLIR IR monitor utility that shows temperatures measured at a number of points and areas (showing it can be done)
NI_VBAI.jpg - part of my VBAI 2010 project which shows the image I've acquired from the FLIR A315 IR Camera
So, I am part of the way there, but so far have not found a way to map the gray scale image that VBAI is acquiring from the FLIR IR camera into a heat map from which I can determine temperatures - and would appreciate some help on how to do this.
Kind regards,
Nick

Hello,
Image provided by FLIR camera are unsigned 16bit.
Depending on the FLIR temperature scale you selected (10mK or 100mK), you will have to divide by a 10 or 100 factor to get K values. Don't select radiometric output.
So if your object is cold, the population of the histogram of your image will be on the left part of it and if the object is hot, the population of the histogram will be on the right part.
If you want your temperature values in Celcius, just add 273,15 to the Kelvin Value.
Then you can add a color palette in VBAI (FLIR iron is available)
Hope this helps

How to convert simple text to image

Hi,
I needed to secure web form from automated form submission. Looking into some common website, they use image displaying random text, which is only readable by user. So the automated form submission can be avoided.
I checked through lot of forum, but could not find help in doing it using java. So is there something in java api using which i can generate image of fly for each request by passing some random generated text of about 5-6 character length.
Any help on this would be appreciated...

How To Convert Multi Page Tiff Image Through open office in application

I will Appreciate Any Effort Or Reply Which Can Tell Me , To convert a multi-page tiff image in pdf format in application i.e not on desktop using simple open -office but through coding. I doubt if there Exists Ny Plugin Or Separate Library Which Can Do Tht. Code Or Library inJava Language will Be Preferable

Your question does not make any sense. First, PDF does not support multi-page TIFFs. DO you have a PDF that you are trying to convert to WORD or what. It is unclear of what you are starting with and what your end goal is. If you are dealing with coding, you may need to check the SDK forum, but trying to understand what you are trying to do would be a good idea first.
