What support is there for BigTIFF?

The Bio-Formats library and command line tools can work with BigTIFF files.

OMERO.importer has support for the format as it is using the Bio-Formats library but you should be aware that when working with very large files you may hit other limitations on image size related to the import and rendering support in the OMERO server.

The addition of the 'Big Image' support into OMERO in v4.2 has removed most, but not all, of these restrictions.
