How does one write a 16-bit TIFF image in IDL? (Can this be done at all
in IDL?)

READ_TIFF will import a 16-bit TIFF image into an INT array just fine,
but WRITE_TIFF reduces the aforementioned INT array to a BYTE array and
writes out an 8-bit TIFF. I'd like to be able to maintain the dynamic
range present in the original image. Do i have to turn the whole thing
into a 24-bit image first? (and how does one do that if that's what has
to be done?)
