¥On Linux/Intel
computers: the peculiar appearance of
images shows that something is wrong:
HMR images from scanners that are stored as shorts: 2
bytes per number
HLike a 2-digit decimal number: Ò93Ó means Ò9 x 10 +
3Ó
åBy universal custom, we
write the Ò9Ó first
åCould also write the same
number as Ò39Ó (if we had a different custom)
HCustoms for computers are not so universal
åSun and SGI systems
store 2 byte numbers in reverse order from Intel
åResult is that numbers are
mangled (and some show up as negative)
åSolution: press to3dÕs
[Byte Swap[2]] button and images are
fixed!
