Hi, Could be a good idea... but pity life is no so easy:-)
The readers included in IM are great, however, they cannot read the huge amount of flavors TIFF has. Just as example, the profiler handles pyramidal tiffs, in the case you are opening huge image this makes a big difference. Also, Lab and others would have no chance if doing so. Loading whole image in memory sometimes is unpractical. Anyway, thans for the reference.

The profiler could check if the ImageMagick server was present, and if so use it to open the file. ImageMagic recognizes most of the supported file types so you wouldn't have to do much more than call the server's convert method with the file the user wanted opened. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marti Maria Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 9:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Lcms-User Subject: Re: [Lcms-user] First beta of profiler available on site Hi, > Only reason for question, in lprof 1.09 package pnm format is supported Yep. The reason was PNM was supported by Qt. Qt gived quick access to many formats, but in the other hand it cannot deal with some very convenient, like TIFF. And worst, it cannot handle 16 bps. So, I wrote whole new profiler without using Qt. The program is using direct calls to Win32 API, no MFC or other GUI library is used. Of course this mean we have lost PNM and some others, but we have support for Lab, CMYK, 16 bps, even hexachrome separations of 6 inks are supported now in the viewer. I suppose these are huge improvements from old profiler. Regarding WINE. Well, I checked new profiler with all 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP and 2003. All seems to work fine. Anyone using Windows has experienced such problems? To select template, first press the pick mode button (the green grid) and then right click on the image. A menu pops up with "template". Select it and you will got a dialog for template selection. If the combo doesn't show any template, click in the "..." button and then go to "pickers" folder. There you will find several.

Is there any real need for that? PNM can be converted to TIFF or PNG and it gives no significant improvement over > these formats. Of course I could add support for a lot of graphic formats but I assume this is not the goal of the profiler. I > prefer to support, say, TIFF "well" that many formats but only partially.

If the app is running all options should be available... > > Regards, > Marti. > Used wine version 20030618, debian kernel 2.4.21-5 sarge with some unstable packages. lprof package 1.09 no problems With the beta1 package some menu display problems, menu won't disappear when another menu is selected. When zoom menu is selected, no zoom possible. With mouse drawing a rectangle on referencetarget.png is possible. No option seen for the selection which picker template to use. Rectangle drawing Looks something like with lprof package when no picker template is selected. -- ---------- m.vr.gr.
