NConvert can convert 16bits to 16bits files... XnView can't works on 16bits (XnViewMP will support it)

Hi Pierre,

Okay, NConvert will do the job when working with 16bit images, but the problem is that NConvert, like XnView, ignores the SAMPLE_BITS = 16 parameter in the PDS file header. Both ...

Hi everyone,

Last night I found a free Windows utility which will (if you set its parameters correctly) properly read the LRO CDR images. Google "pds_img_reader" and click on the first result. While PDS Image Reader will read the 16-bit calibrated LRO images, at present it only exports 8-bit BMP ...

This is a bug report. XnView always assumes that Planetary Data System (PDS) format images are in 8-bit format, rather than correctly reading the following line in a PDS file header:

SAMPLE_BITS = xx

where xx specifies the bit depth of the image (usually either 8-bit or 16-bit).

So, while it is ...
