replace skimage with tiffile #351

Closed freeman-lab closed 8 years ago

freeman-lab commented 8 years ago

This PR switches to use tifffile for tif writing which means we can remove the dependency on skimage (we were only using it for its tif handling).

This means that images.totif now supports 8-bit and 16-bit data and both single and multi page tifs.

Note that this was only possible because @jwittenbach landed a PR in tifffile to enable writing directly to byte streams, otherwise we would have done this awhile ago.
