Problem in saving Array{Float16, 3} into Tiff

Hi,

I have original 4D data typeof(data) = Array{UInt16, 3}, size(data) = (512, 512, 5, 100) . I reshape, permute to (512, 512, 100, 5) and take as 3D img = data[:, :, :, 1], size(img) = (512, 512, 100) . It is ok if I directly save this Array{UInt16, 3} as tiff FileIO.save("img.tif", img)

But if I convert it into floating point img = Float16.(img) , typeof(img) = Array{Float16, 3} and try to save FileIO.save("img.tif", img).

Here the problem and error come,

 Warning: Mapping to the storage type failed; perhaps your data had out-of-range values?
│ Try `map(clamp01nan, img)` to clamp values to a valid range.

Some type information was truncated. Use `show(err)` to see complete types.

I tried map(clamp01nan, img) , FileIO.save("img.tif", img) again, and got same error.

but there is no problem to save random data img= rand(Float16, 512, 512, 100); .

what can I do?

thanks in advacne.

I did, the transformed image img3 = map(clamp01nan, img2) can be saved. But all the values were transformed to 1.0
