Hello all. I'm doing a project analysing micro-CT images and the reconstruction program uses tiff metadata to reconstruct the sample. After some editing of the images in ImageJ I lost the metadata.
Would anyone know how to copy the metadata? I think its a binary in the image that it uses.
Thank you for all the help.
This the metadata I need:
File Type : TIFF
File Type Extension : tif
MIME Type : image/tiff
Exif Byte Order : Little-endian (Intel, II)
Subfile Type : Full-resolution Image
Image Width : 1024
Image Height : 1024
Bits Per Sample : 16
Compression : Uncompressed
Photometric Interpretation : BlackIsZero
Strip Offsets : (Binary data 316 bytes, use -b option to extract)
Samples Per Pixel : 1
Rows Per Strip : 24
Strip Byte Counts : (Binary data 257 bytes, use -b option to extract)
X Resolution : 1733
Y Resolution : 1733
Resolution Unit : inches
Image Size : 1024x1024
Megapixels : 1.0
Metadata of the edited image:
File Type : TIFF
File Type Extension : tif
MIME Type : image/tiff
Exif Byte Order : Big-endian (Motorola, MM)
Subfile Type : Full-resolution Image
Image Width : 1024
Image Height : 1024
Bits Per Sample : 16
Photometric Interpretation : BlackIsZero
Image Description : ImageJ=1.51h.min=0.0.max=65535.0.
Strip Offsets : 3584
Samples Per Pixel : 1
Rows Per Strip : 1024
Strip Byte Counts : 2097152
X Resolution : 1733
Y Resolution : 1733
Resolution Unit : inches
XMP Toolkit : Image::ExifTool 10.79
Image Size : 1024x1024
Megapixels : 1.0
All of those tags (except the resolution tags) are characteristics of the way the image is stored. You can't just change them without changing the way the image is stored.

Would it be possible to copy the Strip Offset binary data and Strip byte counts binary to other images?
The software that reconstruct the images uses that data, but when I fixed the brightness values of the original images it lost that data.
Sorry I'm not really that good with terminal.
The StripOffsets and StripByteCounts reference the strips by which the main image is stored. Copying them to another file doesn't make any sense.

My apologies. It seems that the issue is a tag in the tiff file introduced by imageJ. I should be able to just remove this tag
