Now, the width and length become the same between the tiff files generated by convert and Acrobat. But why there is a 100 times difference in terms of file size. And how to set the unit of resolution to be DPI in the tiff file generated by convert? ~/Downloads$ convert -monochrome -density 300x300 number_of_sites_nofilter.pdf number_of_sites_nofilter.tiff ~/Downloads$ tiffinfo number_of_sites_nofilter.tiff TIFF Directory at offset 0x86d74 (552308) Image Width: 2100 Image Length: 2100 Resolution: 300, 300 (unitless) Bits/Sample: 1 Compression Scheme: None Photometric Interpretation: min-is-black FillOrder: msb-to-lsb Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs Samples/Pixel: 1 Rows/Strip: 31 Planar Configuration: single image plane Page Number: 0-1 DocumentName: number_of_sites_nofilter.tiff ~/Downloads$ tiffinfo number_of_sites_nofilter1.tiff TIFF Directory at offset 0x1280 (4736) Image Width: 2100 Image Length: 2100 Resolution: 300, 300 pixels/inch Bits/Sample: 1 Compression Scheme: CCITT Group 4 Photometric Interpretation: min-is-white Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs Samples/Pixel: 1 Rows/Strip: 31 Planar Configuration: single image plane ~/Downloads$ ll -goh number_of_sites_nofilter*.tiff -rw-r--r-- 1 5.4K 2011-11-21 12:03:01 number_of_sites_nofilter1.tiff -rw-r--r-- 1 541K 2011-11-21 16:31:38 number_of_sites_nofilter.tiff Regards, Peng _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list Magick-users@imagemagick.org http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
