2TIFF

Version 4.2 (23 Sep, 2002).
What's new:

• Some combinations of "-collage" option parameters caused garbage (artifacts) on the collage image. Fixed.
• When stretching one can either specify output image width and height, or specify only one dimention and use "-prop" option. There was a bug in the calculation algorithm of the other proportional dimention in version 4.1 of batch converters. It is fixed now.
• Fixed bug causing the specified dimention change (for instance the output image width was was 99 instead of 100).
• Fixed error occuring when very big files (16800 x 28200 pixels) were converted, i.e. when system memory lacked.
• Added support of JBIG, OS/2 bitmap array, Alias/Wavefront PIX and Wavefront RLA formats.
• The name of a collage may be specified by "-namegen=" key. If no specific name is entered the file will be named "collage".
• Optimized function of right angle (90, 180, 270, 360 degrees) rotation.
• Fixed algorithm of automatic color depth detection of the output file.
• Some files of Windows Bitmap old format could not be read. Fixed.
• Added conversion of icons (*.ICO) as multi-page files. (Previous versions converted icons as one-page files).
• Improved support of PNG files, starting from this version we support PNG file with gamma correction field.
  
• Added two new graphic filters: Gaussian Blur and Unsharpen Mask.
• Added possibility to convert an image with EXIF block to TIFF format with EXIF data preserved.

Changes in options:

Added:

• -prior<val>
  Added an option to give priority to .exe-file. This is important for servers not to let batch converter suppress all other applications.
• -binarize<val>
  Added "-binarize" option to convert low-contrast and scanned images to black-and-white mode.
  -binarize1 – increases contrast of the image with the optimum value of contrast function parameter being fitted
  -binarize2 - "-binarize1" + binarization of the image with the optimum value of monochromatization threshold being fitted.
• -namegen=
  Added "-namegen=" option to control naming of output files
• -label(<path>;<location>;X;Y;<blending_mode>;<alpha>)
  This option allows to add label (watermark) to image and specify it's transparency and location on converted image.
• -msb
  It saves in black-and-white TIFF in PhotoMetricInterpretation = MINISBLACK mode. Opposite to -msw option.
• -cmyk
  Use this option for saving in CMYK color field. Without this option the file will be saved in RGBA or its derivatives.
• -lsb2msb
  This option controls the order of bits in a byte in black-and-white files. Without this option the fill order is MSB2LSB. With the option it is LSB2MSB.

Changed:

Using % and & characters in BAT file caused some problems. That is why the following options were changed in this version:

• -prop&fill is replaced with -propfill
• -w% is replaced with -wp
• -h% is replaced with -hp
• -crop% is replaced with -cropp
• -cropm% is replaced with -cropmp
• -unite:file_name option is replaced with -unite. The name of a multipaged file must be specified with -namegen= option.

Deleted:

• -storeext
  Option is no longer available. Use the [srcext] parameter of -namegen= option to keep the original extension of the file(s).
• -df
  Option is no longer available. Use -namegen= option to specify the file name.
• -filter
  Option is no longer available. Filters are applied now through -coleff key.
