convert from .raw to .bmp

Hi to everybody

I have a problem about a image converter.

I have to convert my .raw file to .bmp file (by using MATLAB), but I finally need grayscale .bmp file.

I dont need any interpolation!

I have .raw file (12 bit, 3268*2454).

So, the issue is: how can I convert by using MATLAB .raw file into a .bmp file? Otherwise, can I get grayscale .bmp directly from a .raw file? Is any suitable converter in MATLAB?

Thanks to all.

Egor

ps: Better for me to make equal the blue and red component of final image.

When you say "black and white", do you mean grayscale? Cos normally I would consider a black and white bitmap to have only 2 colours.

[Egor Bogatinskiy]

yes, i mean grayscale!

sorry for uncertainty

How are the 12-bit quantities stored? With each of them filling 2 bytes (with 4 ignored bits), or with 2 of them filling 3 bytes (8+4, 4+8) ?

Please do not open duplicate questions; you can edit your question or post a comment to it to remind people of its existence.

More effective by far than posting a duplicate of your Question is to answer the queries that people have asked you already.

To answer your question: No, you cannot get the .bmp directly from the .raw file.
