Re: Converting TIFF to JPEG

Jan

The list software strips attachments from emails, so the error didn't make
it to the list!

Have a look at
https://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php for details
on using the various commands. We're using convert for tif & jpeg
conversion to pdf, but the format, at its most basic, is the same:

convert image.tif image.jpg

We use it in QShell rather than QP2Term, but the requirements are the same,
that file name are enclosed in single quotes. I'm not sure what the path is
for convert in Scott's install, but for the Perzl version it's
/opt/freeware/bin/convert, and the QSH command ends up as:

/opt/freeware/bin/convert '/tmp/example TIF image.tif'' '/tmp/example JPEG
image.jpg'

As we're running that in QShell, all the apostrophes get doubled up, as the
whole command string is quoted.

Hello Martin,

I have installed ImageMagick according to the instructions on Scott
Klements website.

If I try to convert 108.tif to .jpg I start a session with call
qp2term. I receive this:

The file 108.tif is in the directory /usr/local/bin. I'm on 7.2

What do I do wrong?

Best regards

We use the install from Perzl.org which works very well. We're primarily
using it to convert from TIF & JPG to PDF and it works without issue.
