Re: [Gimp-user] Tiff -> ps trouble

2001-07-20 Thread Jeff Sheffield

Are you using CCITTFaxDecode in you post script..??
or is the image embeded into the postscript file..?

if (using CCITTFaxDecode) 
look at libtiff
http://www.libtiff.org/

do a tiffinfo -s foo.tiff
and make sure that you tiff file is in a format that
CCITTFaxDecode understands.
if it is not then you can copy it into the format with 
tiffcp

[Gimp-user] Tiff -> ps trouble

2001-07-20 Thread Mike Markowski

Hi all,

This is not a pure gimp question, but I expect other gimpers out
there might have come across it.  After spending a good bit of time
on an image, I'm having trouble with - I think - the postscript
conversion.  We have an HP2500cp PostScript printer (prints on rolls
36" wide).  After writing out my gimp image as a tiff file, I used
ImageMagick to convert it to PS at Architecture D size, which is 36"
x 24": 

convert -page ArchD sr.tiff sr.ps

While the tiff file looks great on screen and I've seen very nice
photo quality output from this printer, my converted image looks
awful; loads of dithering.  Does anyone know what I might be doing
wrong or what important step or steps have been overlooked?

Thanks very much,
Mike
