Writing multipage TIFF with Python

The best way to write multipage TIFF (all at once or via appending) on any platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) is to just use tifffile.py  by:

pip install tifffile

then

tifffile.imsave('myimages.tiff',imgs)

Where imgs.shape is (Nimg,y,x) for monochrome or (Nimg,y,x,3) for RGB color.

tifffile.imsave() is capable of description and tags arguments and for compress losslessly.

An advanced example is the file Demo_image_write_multipage.py

Alternative Python multipage TIFF method

Alternative multipage-Tiff method using scikit-image and FreeImage: (we recommend tifffile instead)
