Tiff tools

2005-10-18, 6:14 am

I'm looking for:
- tool to convert tiff file format (a need only read and save)
- read tiff files
- OS indepentend (work on win and linux), but would be separate tools
for win and linux
- commandline control (read/save)
- free fee

For win I can't found any that tools. No any works with commandline.

Did you try ImageMagick? It is free, it is command line orientated and
it is available for Unix and Windows.

Look at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php

Have you tried LibTIFF ?
<http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/>
It's a free library that comes with a basic set of command-line tools:

*Or*, as I posted in a.g.p, your data is corrupt. As far as I could
see, libtiff was only 'warning' about 'premature EOL', which rather
hints at bad data. There is nothing 'strange' about a G3 compressed
TIFF as far as libtiff is concerned.

If you can show libtiff is incorrectly processing a valid TIFF, you
should report a bug. It may take a little effort to confirm the
correctness of your CCITT data however. Do other tools read it
correctly? If so, are you sure they are not concealing inconsistencies
where libtiff is being more strict?=20

Netpbm / pbmplus.
I've used it in (a distant past) on Unix and Windows
It's free and its a big set commandline utilities

Thanks.
I only had to use some parameters with the libtiffs

For example: tiffcp.exe -c g3 -r 100 a/test.tif a/test2.tif
