Re: [GPCG_TALK] Compressing TIFFs

[Dr Hugh Nelson]

could you have a partition with a compressed file system? http://www.linux.com/howtos/SquashFS-HOWTO/whatis.shtml Dr Hugh Nelson wrote: I think of myself as more of a list-serf than a digerati... :-) David - How do you locate all of Gladys Smiths old documents when they are stored externally on the Samba share? Do you use some standard naming convention for files? David Guest wrote: Dear Digerati I have an increasing number of large raw tiff images (mostly hand scrawled discharge summaries) that are accessed through the Windows picture viewer. They are housed on a samba share and are starting to chew up significant disc space. I would like to shrink them, preferably with a command line tool. I note tiffcp (http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/tiffcp.1.html) supports compression but would appreciate advice about the best way to proceed to get a reduced image that is still visible in Windows. TIA.
