Dear all, I have been trying to speed up a process we have been done in ArcGIS. 
We have to read a single layer TIFF (monochrome image) in . For this, I have 
used the "rtiff" package. After reading the TIFF file, I compared the raw 
values for each pixel that I have in ArcGIS to the ones obtained in R. In 
ArcGIS I have discrete values in the range 0..255, while in R I have continuous 
values between 0..1. This, in itself might not be a problem if the values 
obtained in R, times 255 would show the values obtained in ArcGIS, but this is 
not the case. The images are very different. I tried to settle matters using 
Photoshop, and the values there are completely different from the other two 
(using RGB, the K value (in CMYK) or the B value (in HSB))!!!

Can somebody help me with this problem? Can I trust "rtiff"? Should I stick to 
a very slow process in ArcGIS? Why PS, which should be the perfect measuring 
stick, is showing another set of values?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

Julio
