Hi there, I’m quite new to Julia and working in medical image processing. I have a dicom image that I have successfully read in using the DICOM package (it is read as an array, u16, but I can convert this to another type of needed), now I am trying to save this image in a more convenient format (ideally .tiff). Is there a package that would allow me to do this? I was not able to find any functions in the Image package (but maybe I missed some).

Thanks

See ImageMagick.jl or QuartzImageIO.jl. Both are part of (and used through) FileIO.jl
