Scaling by bit-shifting shouldn't make any difference, since tvscl does
the scaling anyway. How big are the files? Is each 12-bit pixel stored
in a 16-bit word on disk? Or are two 12-bit pixels stored in 3 8-bit
bytes? If the latter, you'll have to do some fancy bit-twiddling to
correctly load the image.

Finally, are you sure you don't need to byteswap the data?
