16 Bit Maya IFF support

[newtonvfx]

Hi,

I'm trying to use nconvert to convert 16 bit (colour depth) TIFF format images into Maya IFF format images.
I am using the following options...

convert -v -n 1 10 1 -out tdi -o filename.####.iff filename.####.tif

This works but the IFF images are only have a colour depth of 8 bit, however the IFF format does support the 16 bit.

So I was wondering if there is a flag I'm missing to switch on 16 bit output to TDI/Maya IFF or whether nconvert does not support this output.

Thanks for your help,

Jeff

Currently nconvert convert 16=>8 bits, so i must build nconvert to support 16bits too
