Brightfield RGB with 16 bits per component is supported in 0.7.0 and later.
By default, all 16 bits per component are converted. If 8 bit output is required

writing to Zarr. This is performed using the `Linear16ToSRGB8` filter built in
instead, the `--linear16to8=true` option can be used to convert to 8 bit before
writing to Zarr, for example:

isyntax2raw write_tiles /path/to/input.isyntax /path/to/directory.zarr --linear16to8=true

to the Philips SDK.

Any other data types are not currently supported.
