I have a program running client / server under XP/'nix that only
recognises certain image formats. The program needs to pick up scanned
multi-page Tiff images on a PC and then convert those images
page-by-page to PNG for the program to use - so I'm kicking off a
convert under XP. I have two problems here:
* If I just convert the image (convert tiff_file.tif[0]
png_file.png), the resulting PNG comes out in reverse video and
with what look like bar code lines to the right of the image,
The image is also completely distorted. However, if I resize the
image (ie add a x634 or whatever to the convert command), I get
a reasonable image out, but it takes a while to achieve. I do
not get the same problem if I do the same conversion under
Linux. The question is here, why should resize make the
difference, and what is the best way of converting a tiff to png
under XP (if that's not to broad a question)?
* Secondly (and this make be off topic somewhat) - when running
the above command, I use cmd /c .... then the command, but this
fires off the 'dos' window, which I don't really want to see. Is
there anyway of running 'convert' in batch mode under XP whereby
this 'dos' window does not appear?

Steve Tucknott
