Here is the contents of a simple .BAT file that I run under Windows using IM's convert command to split multipage TIFF files:

@echo off
for %%f in (%1) do convert "%%f" "%%~nf-%%02d.tif"

Put that in a file called tiffsplit.bat, and run it like something like this:

tiffsplit "c:\pathtoyourfiles\*.tif"

Maybe that will be enough to get you started.

There is also a simpler (and faster) utility designed for this specific purpose that you can download as part of the GnuWin32 libtiff binary package for Windows. It is also called tiffsplit.

HTH,

Subject: [magick-users] Converting TIFF files


Hi
I have a large number (about 2500) TIFF images, many of which are multi-page images and I need to extract each image and save it as a new file, also in TIFF.

I note that although Image Magick supports TIFF there is not much information on how to do this.

If coding is required I would probably do this in Perl using the CPAN Image::Magick module.

Since I am just starting out with IM I was hoping that I could be pointed at a few resources that would help me on my way.

I have installed Image Magick onto my windows system together with Image::Magick for Active State Perl.

I have the following perl program.

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;

use Image::Magick;

my $image = new Image::Magick;
open(IMAGE, 'image0.tif');
$image->Read(file=>\*IMAGE);
close(IMAGE);

But when I run it I get the error 'perl.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows'

Regards
Ian Docherty
