PCD>TIFF conversion resizes image

Post by Guest »

I'm trying to convert a 3072x2048 pcd image to a tiff. For some reason, the image always ends up scaled down to 768x512. Here's my command line:

nconvert -c 2 -out tiff sa00.pcd

Why is this happening? Does it have anything to do with dpi setting or some such? When I print the info of the pcd image I get some strange res. values: 192x128 (even though I can view the image at 3072x2048). Below is the image info for both the original pcd and the converted tiff.

Do you have the pcd plugin?

Where do I get this plugin? PCD is listed in nconvert's format list (nconvert -help) without the mention of any plugins.
