Writing 32 bit images

how can i make 32 bit image in Matlab?

How many color channels are you using, and how many bits do you require for each of the color channels?

Does the file have to be directly decodable by an external viewer as 32 bits, or is it sufficient that you can recover the 32 bits upon reading it in?

Your options:

• PNG file with bitdepth of 8 (bits per channel) to encode 24 of the bits, and specify a uint8 alpha map for the remaining 8 bits
• Sun RAS file passed an RGB image that is uint8 per channel, and a uint8 alpha map
• TIFF with a M x N x 4 uint8 matrix passed in, which would cause TIFF to think of the file as being CMYK
• PNG with a bitdepth of 16 (per channel) and passing a 3 channel uint16 matrix, resulting in a 48 bit per pixel image

how to change alpha channel in 32 bit bitmap/png image?

I want to replace the orignal alpha channel to my own values at each pixel.

[Walter Roberson]

[IMG, map, IMGalpha] = imread('YourFile.png');

Newalpha = .... %as appropriate

imwrite('YourNewFile.png', IMG, 'Alpha', Newalpha);

[Mohsin Shah]

You tell the code for alpha changing

but it give error of invalid attribute.

please correct the code.

[Walter Roberson]

imwrite(IMG,'YourNewFile.png', 'png', 'Alpha', Newalpha)

[Mohsin Shah]

Thanks That's Right.

Hi!

May you tell me ?

1-how to read the alpha channel?

2-How to set new alpha channel of a image?

3-how to show image with alpha channel?

If you look above your comment, you will find something that says "Show older comments". Click on that. The code you ask for is there.

The Tiff class was introduced in R2009b, which allows one to create TIFFs with a variety of configurations, including 32-bit floating point, 8-bit RGB with an alpha layer, and others.
