Our Company has a regular need to save quite large colour line scan images and gray scale CT images. Our customers do not want the storage to be lossy, so to date we've always stored the images using ImageEN to create 16-bit tiff files.
For some customers it would be a huge storage advantage to be able to store non-lossy Jpeg 2000 files, but I've had problems doing this due to unexpected image corruption. I've created two Delphi methods to demonstrate problems I've had with 48-bit RGB colour and 16-bit gray scale storing of JP2 data with ImageEN.
48-bit RGB
The method generates and then attempts to save a 16-bit 5000x60000 RGB image in JP2 format.

Testing has ended
The error is simply that the last few pixel rows are all unexpectedly zero. This doesn't happen if the number of pixel rows is less than 20000, but seems to be related to the size of the image as the same thing happens if the number of columns is made much larger.
16-bit gray scale
The method is very similar to the 48-bit RGB method, generating and then attempting to save a 16-bit 9000x100000 gray scale image in JP2 format. The size of the image is larger because the corruption doesn't happen with a 5000x60000 gray scale image, so maybe the problem is related to the overall image size rather than dimensions.

Again the main error is that the last few pixel rows are all unexpectedly zero. In addition notice that for gray-scale images the data has been corrupted immediately after the save, as the IEBitmap has been unexpectedly converted to 48-bit RGB format.
We're using the very latest ImageEN version downloaded yesterday, with the latest ielib64.dll library (file version 6.0.0.0 according to its properties in Windows). The 32-bit version of the same dll library appears to generate identical results and problems.
I'm hope you're able to help with fixes very soon.
