title: Options to Convert 16 bit Image
body: <p>when i open a 16 bit image in tiff format, it opens up as a black image. The 16-bit tiff image only opens in the program ImageJ; however, it does not open in Preview. I am wondering what my options are now to view the format in an easier way that does not reduce the resolution than to open ImageJ to view it. Should I convert it to an 8-bit format, but wouldn't I lose data when the format is reduced from 16 to 8 bit? Also, I was thinking about converting the tiff image to jpeg, but would that result in a reduction in resolution?</p>
