[comp.sys.atari.st] TIFF's on the ST

whitten@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (07/19/90)

Has anyone done anything with TIFF format files on the ST?  We have
a flatbed scanner at the comp center here, and it makes nice gray
scale scans, storing them in TIFF format, which I would like to be
able to use on my 1040.

I found some info on TIFF and wrote a very simple viewer, but the
TIFF files are generally much bigger than I can display, and with
only 7 luminances, I'm losing around half of the gray scale data.

Maybe some sort of conversion to Spectrum would be nice, but I
imagine this would be no trivial trick.

Thanks,
Chris
