Hi,

I have a multi tiff image and I wanted to convert it to PNG
I have used below command to covert and resize. The out image loses its quality text is not visible properly.

Code: Select all

nconvert -page 0 -overwrite -out png -ratio -rflag orient -resize 50% 50% -o C:\Users\p\Desktop\tiff\1.png  C:\Users\p\Desktop\tiff\abc.tif

Is there any way to convert image without losing the quality ?

Regards
Punith

You are reducing the pixel dimensions of the image which will tend to reduce the quality, resampling using one of the -rtype options may help...

You have various options including altering brightness, contrast or using a levels adjustment...

You have a copy of the NConvert help file, presumably?

If you wish and are able to, you could upload an example image.

I need to make the marked area darker.
Here is the problem I am opening the image in internet explorer where image text is getting blur and not able to read when i resize.

Thanks for uploading an example image: may I make two comments:

First, in general in a case like this it would be easiest to find the optimum actions, and values to be used when relevant, using a windowed software such as XnView MP or XnView Classic, as settings can be tried quickly and the result seen immediately.

Second, do you really need to resize the original image (reduce the pixel dimensions), which will often inevitably reduce the image quality ? If the file size is an issue, there may be better ways of obtaining the result you need: I have attached a TIFF with CCITT G4 'Fax' lossless compression, which will open with image quality identical to the original image, but has a very much reduced file size.

Edit:

Your TIFF file is black and white (1-bit colour depth) which precludes darkening using the above methods, however there may be a way of obtaining some improvement by other means such as use of a filter. If he has time, XnTriq could possibly advise...

Otherwise, scanning or faxing the original paper with different settings would help, which may of course be outside your control.

Thank you for your reply.
I am not resizing the image.When i try to open the same image in internet explorer,I am not able to read the image properly.
Here is the screenshot

The reason for darkening the text is in internet explorer I am not able to see the text.If you open the same text in internet explorer you can see the issue.

Could you please provide me the command that you have used to get less size CCIT Compression ?

I don't have Internet Explorer the web browser, you using a web browser to view files??

Code: Select all

-c value          : Compression number
              default : 0 (uncompressed)
              PDF    : 1 (Fax), 2 (Rle), 3 (LZW), 4(ZIP), 5 (JPEG)
              TIFF    : 1 (Rle), 2 (LZW), 3 (LZW+Prediction)
                           4 (ZLIB)
                           5 (CCITT G3), 6 (CCITT G3-2D), 7 (CCITT G4) only B/W
                           8 (JPEG) only 24/32 bits

For TIFF with CCITT G4 compression use -c 7

Internet Explorer doesn't (always) use interpolation (high-quality zoom) for downsizing binary (black & white) images. You need to either hit Refresh in IE or increase the color depth of the image to at least 8-bit grayscale.

Could you please provide me the command on how to increase the colordepth of image.?

To increase colour depth, presumably these although I don't think ever used them myself:

Code: Select all

-grey num         : Convert in Grey Scale (256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8 or 4)

-truecolors
-truecolours      : Convert in True Colors

I'm attaching a copy of the NConvert 7.00 Help file, you really should have one to consult.

I actually had consulted the help (nconvert.exe -help >nconvert.txt) for my previous post (see quote).
The reason why I was asking for your assistance is that the sample was deleted by the OP before I joined the thread.

Anyhow — the following command does the trick for me:

Code: Select all

nconvert.exe -o test.png -grey 256 -out png file0_0_CCITT_G4.tif
