Hi Rohan,
RS> I am running GIMP in OS X and need to save .Tiff files so that they will
open
RS> in windows. Is there a way of doing this with GIMP. Or any other
RS> suggestions?
I saved an image file on Gimp/Linux with each of the Gimp TIFF
compression options, and then tried to open them in Windows with the
Windows and Fax Viewer, MS Paint, and PSP. My PSP/Windows might be a
bit old, because when I saved an image back to Linux and then opened
it with Gimp/Linux, I got an error complaining about "Incorrect Count
For Field, DateTime". This doesn't surprise me. I saved them back with
MS Paint, and no problem.
Gimp TIFF Compression Options
*
Worked:
lzw
none
packbits
Did Not Work:
jpg
deflate
I'd try saving the tiff files using lzw compression on the Mac.
A neat thing about Gimp is, if you type an extension in the Name
field, (file01.tiff), it's obeyed. In other words, you don't have to use
the drop-down selection or list-box at the bottom. It saves a few key
strokes :-)
Let us know how this works.
Thanks.
