Export all pages from a Multi-page TIFF

[corr]

Using one core solved my problem

Thank you.

Is there a way to extract these pages without recompressing (lossless)?

@corr:

Which compression option are you using?

Most or all of the compression options for TIFF files are lossless except for the JPEG option...

For JPEG compression, selecting 'Use estimated quality (when possible)' should minimise loss, which in any case in most circumstances is not the issue many users expect.

[corr]

Yes, lossless but not without *recompression*. I can only decide between much bigger files (lossless format) or decreasing quality (recompress again with lossy jpeg).

My multipage file is having grayscale and color pages. Last ones seem to be compressed with jpeg.

Yes, lossless but not without *recompression*.

A file recompressed using a lossless compression method should have identical quality to the original file...

I can only decide between much bigger files (lossless format) or decreasing quality (recompress again with lossy jpeg).

My multipage file is having grayscale and color pages. Last ones seem to be compressed with jpeg.

For colour and grayscale images, when file size is a significant consideration JPEG compression is usually the only practical option.

But can you really see any difference between the original and the output files? In most situations recompressing once or twice, or even rather more times, is unlikely to produce any noticeable loss. For optimum maintenance of quality there are other JPEG saving options, such as the subsampling option used, which should probably be considered, but I can't advice on those.

You might take a look at this post from this long thread Basic understanding of "JPEG Quality"?, which discusses JPEG quality in some detail.

If an image has been edited it must be resaved or the changes will be lost, if an image hasn't been edited why resave it?

[corr]

The image has not been edited, only the container has been changed, from a multi-page TIFF to a single-page TIFF. So I can't see why you have to recompress the image right away.

If you recompress a jpeg without changing the content, you have to guess what compression rate the source used. If it is too high, it is a waste of space, if it is too low, the quality drops. So recompression is the last thing I want if I'm not editing the content of the image. It's like recompressing a video completely just because you want to switch from avi to a mkv container. At least, that's not how I do it. It saves resources and maintains quality.

Just my humble opinion

I don't have a solution, but maybe this info is of interest to you:

Ah nice. Thank you

As it turns out, TiffToy can split multi-page TIFF files witout re-encoding each page (confirmed by Compare It! and AsTiffTagViewer).

The attached TIFF file contains 11 pages, each of which is encoded differently from all the other pages. The pages are, in order:
1- Uncompressed RGB
2- Uncompressed CMYK
3- JPEG 2000 compression
4- JPEG 4:1:1 compression
5- JBIG compression
6- RLE Packbits compression
7- CMYK with RLE Packbits compression
8- YCC with RLE Packbits compression
9- LZW compression
10- CCITT Group 4 compression
11- CCITT Group 3 2-D compression

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.99.0. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

[LongOfTooth]

With XnView MP 99.7 I'm unable to export/save captured (opened) screen shots (images) to PDF files on my desktop. If it's still possible to do that would someone please post the steps a person would have to take in order to save all opened images? TIA
