Hello, I have a camera that gives me grayscale 12bit images. They are quite big, and the framerate is quite high, so I would like to avoid saving 16 bit tiffs from this data (as I am hoping to save some disk space and computing time when saving as 12 bit). Is there a possibility to save 12bit image data without loosing time for converting stuff?
Thanks!!

That sounds like a great trick, especially, because I am capturing double images anyway... Thanks!
But your comment also tells me that there apparently is no standard 12bit image format.

I'm not aware of any 12-bit standard. There might very well exist one, this method was just the easiest to implement while making sure no data would be lost and all half-decent programs would be able to process the resulting files.
