[Gimp-user] Scaling large tiff files
I had a Printing company in Iowa scan some plans at 600DPI, 1BB, and the size in pixels was 16592 x 10800 (21.4M). Several of the files were burnt to CDR and named Temp000398 thru Temp000408. I tried GIMP and I couldn't view or open the files. Image Viewer, or any other Linux Application I have tried didn't work either. I needed to find out what information was contained in each file. I finally tried M$ Paint 5.1, and it worked great to view the files. Now, I needed a way to rescale the TIF's, after renaming them so I could find the plan I needed. I tried Irfanview, and it worked wonderful. I could use the Batch function to operate on several images without loading up each one in memory to view. Irfanwiew will also Export to PDF's. You might want to give it a try, as it runs in Windows and Linux under WINE. I've also got M$ Paint Ver 5.1 running on Wine in Ubuntu. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=660408 lk -- lkraemer (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] GIMP won't load LARGE TIF file
I had some plans scanned at Zephyr Printing. They scanned the Large drawings at 600DPI, 1 Bit Black, and saved the files. The pixel sizes of the drawings are 21600 x 33184. The files also have the Fax Group 4 designation. I can't load these drawings into Gimp 2.6, or view them with any Ubuntu Software. I have used Irfanview to view them, so at least I can rename each file according to what is located inside the file. Has anyone had trouble using with such a large sized file? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. lk -- lkraemer (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] GIMP won't load LARGE TIF file
Tobias, Here are the answers to your questions. Can you upload somewhere such a file? An incomplete scanned file, which is a bit larger has been uploaded here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b08c72g/n/Temp00395.Tif The file size is 3.72 Meg and Pixel size is 21600 x 36000 at 1BPP. Which operating system do you use? Ubuntu 9.10 32 Bit with all the latest updates Gnome Desktop. Which exact Gimp version do you use? GIMP Ver 2.6.7 included with Ubuntu Install ISO. Are there any warnings or errors? No Warnings or errors, but the screen does go dim and GIMP just hangs, eventually wanting a FORCED Quit. I have installed Irfanview in WINE 1.0.1. I have just tried opening this file in Irfanview 4.23, then saving it to Temp00395a.Tif, and then I can load this new saved Tif in Gimp Ver 2.6.7..but it takes forever. Computer is a Compaq Laptop CQ50-139NR with Core II Duo with 3 Gig RAM and 500 Gig Drive, with Ubuntu on a 127 Gig Partition.
