Hopefully, the support for BigTIFF now makes things a bit more simple for you.

I’ve been working with Aperio SVS images (TIFF+jpeg2000) for a few years now and my workflow involved the use of libtiff, openslide, VIPS and imagemagick to convert from SVS to bigTIFF. I have also used blockproc and a custom ImageAdapter class with the bioformats library to read SVS/bigTIFF images, analyze the data in MATLAB and write the results to a binary TIFF. Your bigTIFFWriter class will definitely be helpful in simplifying this workflow.

Some of the vendors are starting to support the BigTIFF format as an open format, so yes, I foresee using these tools much more in the future.
