I am trying to load single pages from multipage tiffs, convert them to
monochrome (dithered), flatten the image, then save them as single
monochrome, ccitt group4 tiffs. - all through scripts.
The multipage tiffs contain pages in grayscale and colour which were
created using the old style (problematic) jpeg compression option.
I have tried other tools, such as libtiff (modified with a patch to
handle the old jpeg compression), and the latest version of imagemajick.
Unfortunately they cannot correctly convert the files, whereas gimp can,
but only one page of the multi-page tiff at a time
(gimp crashes if I load a 5page document (as separate images) then
convert each image to monochrome,flatten and save in one session)
the scripting function for loading tiffs
file-tiff-load
does not expose the options to load individual pages, or to select
loading as images or as layers, which the visual file load/import does.
does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can achieve this using a
script.?
manually is not a problem, but too time consuming for large (eg.
200page) tiffs.
thanks, tim
