¥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!
