Normalization of TIFF images

When I save a 2D wave as TIFF, even with the /U flag, the TIFF file seems to be normalized to maximize bit depth.

In the example below, the first print statement returns 16129, which is indeed 127*127. The second print statement, however, returns 65534. Opening the test_out.tif in something like ImageJ also gives me 65534 as the value for the [127][127] pixel, so it seems like the /U flag in the ImageSave command doesn't seem to do anything?

Or am I missing something?

Make /N=(128,128)/D test
test = p*q
print test[127][127]
ImageSave/T="tiff"/U/DS=16/O test as "test_out"
ImageLoad/T=tiff/Q/N=test_out/G "SOMEPATH:test_out.tif"
print test_out[127][127]

Thanks!
