[Ohiodig] Advice on Multi-Page TIFFs

[Phil Sager]

Hi John,


We often use the free tools from Fastone http://www.faststone.org/, especially the batch image resizer. However, their Image Viewer is also quite nice, GUI-based, and has a "Multi-page splitter" feature under "Create".

Seconding Linda's suggestion.  It's an extremely robust (and free) image conversion and editing program with a lot of community support.  It operates via command line and the site includes an extensive tutorial about how to use it.  I think the 'convert' command should allow you to split multi-page TIFFs into separate files.  I've used it to split GIFs into the component images like this:

convert image.gif output%d.gif

with %d numbering the output images in order of their sequence in the original file.

Good luck!

Eugene

John – I haven’t used this command with Image Magick, but I found reference here that there’s a simple convert option from the command line (I think the windows shell or in Unix/Linux).  I would assume it would work with an entire directory of multi-page tifs.  Maybe someone else on this thread has used Image Magick for this purpose?

Hello OhioDIG,



I was wondering if anyone had any experience working with multi-page TIFF images, specifically any utilities that can be used to break them apart in to individual TIFF images in a batch process. I've found some utilities online but they generally seem like sketchy shareware and I was hoping someone knew about utilities that wouldn't ruin my library's computer network. Any advice would be appreciated!



Thanks,

John Dewees
