Hello Guys,

I´m currently working on my bachelorthesis and for this, i have to go on working with the .svs image format.
But if i want to manipulate these images i have to convert them into the tiff format.
Now i want to use the ImageMagick software to extract the toplayer as tiff or png with the command:

~/svs_images/Fluoreszens/slides1-4/slides1-4> convert '19732_AlexaFluor594.svs[3]' 19732_AlexaFluor594.tif

But if i do this i get the following error:

convert: compression not supported `19732_AlexaFluor594.svs' @ error/tiff.c/ReadTIFFImage/1338.
convert: no images defined `19732_AlexaFluor594.tif' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3212.

Has someone an idea how to fix this?
