Makela) Newsgroups: comp.graphics,comp.sys.mac,comp.sys.ibm.pc,comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer,comp.sources.wanted Subject: TIFF LZW compressed (type "MM") pictures ? Message-ID: Date: 9 Apr 90 07:25:12 GMT Sender: news@tukki.jyu.fi Followup-To: comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer Organization: Justice HQ, Mega-City One Lines: 18 I recently scanned some very nice art pictures (Dali, Escher, Margritte) on a Apple Macintosh IIcx, using a software called ImageStudio (or was that the grey-level version ?). I stored the pictures as a "LZW compressed TIFF image" with 256 colors, which turned out to produce a TIFF with type "MM". Now, it seems that no other software either on a Mac, PC or a Unix sun4 can read these. Does anyone have any clue to converting these to some more common format like Mac PICT, X10 or perhaps even (the final target) GIF ? I have tried vgaimg and graphics workshop on the PC, a couple of freebies on the Mac and pbm on the sun4, all which say that type "MM" is not supported. Sorry for the cross-posts, but I'm really getting to my wit's end with these... Please reply by mail, if at all possible. -- * * * Otto J.
