Re: [hylafax-users] fax tiff to png/jpg/gif conversion



> Does anyone know of a program or a command line argument for convert that
will generate an image that looks the same as the orginal tiff file? I don't
mind some resolution loss as they will just be for previewing and not
printing.


I wonder, why nobody uses tiff2ps and gs for this task, as they are already installed with hylafax.


excerpt from my faxrcvd:

---- somewhere before mail-creation ------

PAGES="`$INFO -n $FILE | grep Pages | awk -F": " '{print $2}'`"
PREVIEWPAGES=1

if [ "$PAGES" -lt "$PREVIEWPAGES" ]; then PREVIEWPAGES=$PAGES; fi

#### create png-file from tiffg3 for preview
$TIFF2PS -a -O $FILE.ps $FILE > /dev/null 2>&1
$GSRIP -q -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -r98 -sDEVICE=pngmono -sOutputFile=$COMMID%d.png $FILE.ps > /dev/null 2>&1


--- during mail-creation

## attach preview in PNG-format
for ((page=1;page<=$PREVIEWPAGES;page++)); do
echo "--$MIMEBOUNDARY"
echo "Content-Type: image/png"
echo "Content-Description: FAX Preview"
echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: $ENCODING"
echo "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"preview$page.png\""
echo ""
$MIMENCODE $COMMID$page.png 2>/dev/null
done
# set the final MIME-boundary
echo "--$MIMEBOUNDARY--"
) | 2>&1 $SENDMAIL -ffax -oi "$SENDTO"
fi
else
#
# Generate notification mail for a failed attempt.
#


--- at the end cleanup

if [ -f $FILE.ps ]; then rm -f $FILE.ps; fi
rm -f $COMMID*.png


-- holger
