TIFF converstion with Solaris Binary

Post by scubitt »

I have just upgraded to version 6.3.4 using the Solaris binary, previously we were using 6.2.9 also installed as a Solaris binary.

Now, we do not seem to be able to create a valid TIF file, I note from the documentation that "tiff-v3.6.1" (or above) is required for TIF processing, is this part of the binary release or can I install it and if so how?

Try
  • identify -list format
and it will tell you which version of TIFF it is using. Also make sure the mode is rw+. If its not we may need to rebuild the Solaris binary distributions. You can also look to the sunfreeware.com site for an ImageMagick package.

HI
The TIFF line from "identify -list format" was

TIFF* TIFF rw+ Tagged Image File Format (LIBTIFF, Version 3.7.2)

I will also look on the Sun site.
