TiffImages fails to open a `bfconvert` converted OME-TIFF

[adityanprasad]

I used the bftools command-line tool bfconvert to convert a Zeiss CZI mosaic into an OME-TIFF. I'm having trouble reading into Julia using either OMETIFF.jl or TiffImages.jl. The error message is attached below (same error for OMETIFF and TiffImages.jl). I am using Julia 1.10.1 on MacOS. The image I used is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PD7BthTuj-UgJhltqyp64oqmv2MwF1Es/view?usp=sharing. pyometiff seems to be able to read the image.

Thanks for all your work on these packages!

In [3]: img = TiffImages.load("/Users/adityaprasad/Downloads/output1.ome.tiff")

So I tried to open the file using Fiji/ImageJ and it similarly fails to open so this might not be a TiffImages issue:

(Fiji Is Just) ImageJ 2.3.0/1.53q; Java 1.8.0_172 [64-bit]; Linux 6.5.0-18-generic; 358MB of 25500MB (1%)

Perhaps this is an issue with bfconvert?
