Growing Image Size...

[rchu2005]

I am new to NConvert so still trying to learn......

I have written a script to convert multi-page TIF into PDF while doing some masking but the resulting PDF/TIF becomes 200 times bigger than the original. Did I do something wrong? How can I keep the original setting of the image during a conversion?

Here are the steps taken:

- Convert the multi-page TIF (around 600k) into individual JPG files (around 500k-1.5MB but still manage-able).
- Perform some masking on individual JPG using the watermark function. At the same time, some JPGs will be added with text using the text function. (File grew to about 1.5MB-2MB)
- Combine each JPG into a multi-page TIF or PDF (either one is fine) using the "-multi" option but the result file grew to about 120-160MB. I tried using compression for TIF but still didn't help much.

Thanks....

Do you use the -c (compression)?

Thanks for your quick reply, Pierre. Yes I did try -c 7 and -c 8. Any suggestion?

Thanks again.....
