Three guesses: It's a compressed TIFF, and the other computer doesn't support that compression scheme. You saved a grayscale or full-colour TIFF, and the other computer's viewer was expecting two bit black or white only.

Tiff files frmo xsane arent usable in windows
I scanned a sh!tload of docs and saved as tiff files, then scp'ed these across the wire to another linux box that has a windows user who needs these images. Problem is, that windows user, nor me on a windows box here can open these files? Anyone know why, and if there is a batch image conversion I can do that wont affect the quality on the remote lniux box so I don't have to re-upload all these files? Thanks! jlc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I've no problem viewing tiff files, created by xsane, on a Windows system. In any event, convert (from ImageMagick package) along with a simple shell script should do just fine. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

If so, then the files are fine. At that point you need to find a good tiff file viewer (or whatever) for Windows. Which isn't a Linux issue, actually. If you need a different format you could look at using imagemagick convert or maybe even something like tiff2pdf or tiff2ps depending on what you want. Once you have a pdf or ps file you could use pdftk or psnup (and psmerge and friends) to create books of your images, if you want. (As an aside, I tiff2pdf as part of a handler script/program for mgetty fax management. The users get their faxes as a pdf file that's emailed to them.) -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Yeah, it seems whatever came out of xsane isn't compatible with the fax viewer in XP. If you need a different format you could look at using imagemagick convert or maybe even something like tiff2pdf or tiff2ps depending on what you want. Once you have a pdf or ps file you could use pdftk or psnup (and psmerge and friends) to create books of your images, if you want. mogrify batched them into a png which worked rather nice.
