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.
David,
Wouldn't an alternative approach be to take the scanned hand-written
document, print it, wrap it around a house brick with rubber bands and
chuck it through the window of the hospital administrator responsible?
Those big tiffs must use lots of E-mail mailbox space and bandwidth, and
probably worsen already illegible notes. What resident would scan
his/her own summaries and E-mail them as tiffs?? It's got to be their
medical records clerks.
Surely a bit of persuasion at source might get a better result in the
long-run?
