This method allows you to change the pixel type of an image. This can be useful if you want to compare or combine images that have different pixel types.

Parameter

Description

Pixel Format

Select the desired pixel format from the dropdown list.

-

8 Bit B/W

The output image is a monochrome image, the whole-number gray values of which can lie in the range from 0 to 255.

-

16 Bit B/W

The output image is a monochrome image, the whole-number gray values of which can lie in the range from 0 to 65535.

-

32 Bit B/W Float

The output image is a monochrome image with real numbers as pixel values.

-

2x32 Bit Complex

The output image is a monochrome image with complex numbers (real part and imaginary part) as pixel values. Such images are generally created by means of transformation into the Fourier space.

-

24 Bit RGB

The output image is a color image, the whole-number color values of which in the red, green, and blue channels can lie in the range from 0 to 255.

-

48 Bit RGB

The output image is a color image, the whole-number color values of which in the red, green, and blue channels can lie in the range from 0 to 65535.

-

2x32 Bit RGB Float

The output image is a color image with real numbers as color values in the red, green and blue channels.

-

3x64 Bit RGB Complex

The output image is a color image with complex numbers (real part and imaginary part) in the red, green and blue channels. Such images are generally created by means of transformation into the Fourier space.
