- Select the type of compression for the converted files (i.e. lzw, jpeg, jp2k) or leave it "none" for uncompressed data.
- Check "Write OME-TIFF" check box to write files that are readable by BioFormats and hence are compatible with QuPath with additional steps.
- Writing OME-TIFF with compression may require you to set the BigTIFF flag to true (check the BigTIFF check box)
