Re: [ccp4bb] X-ray diffraction image --> .jpg

[David Waterman]

Hi Andy,

As well as the other alternatives, ADXV can output high resolution
graphics files (1:1 if you choose 100% scale) with colouring that
matches what you see in the Image window. Go to File -> Save for this
function. As you're working with ADSC images you might be used to
viewing with ADXV anyway (though it can view other formats too).

If you don't have the software away from your favourite beamline, you
can download it for various X-windows systems from
http://www.scripps.edu/~arvai/adxv.html.

Cheers
David

It's not free, but with Photoshop you can do anything you want with TIFF
based diffraction images. To be able to see anything, though, you need
to do "Image -> Adjustments -> Equalize", otherwise all you'll see is
black.
