I just deposited at purdue, virginia and cs.orst a full page scan of a photograph I took of Himeji Castle. For those Kurosawa film lovers, this is where part of "Ran" was filmed. Generating the image was a real challenge: Using an apple scanner and appleScan, I scanned it at 300 dpi on the mac. I copied the resulting image inch by inch to PixelPaint [much larger than an inch taxed the memory of the Mac], and then saved it to a .eps file. Using macput, I got it into the cube. Well, nough said, enjoy andrew ||<<++>>||<<-->>||<<==>>||<<++>>||<<??>>||<<++>>||<<-->>||<<==>>||<<++>>|| !! Andrew Stone !!

Well, nough said, enjoy That's a LOT of work. Last September I posted a "tifftoeps" program (available by anonymous FTP from sutro.sfsu.edu) that runs on the NeXT and converts grayscale TIFF from AppleScan directly to usable Encapsulated PostScript. Our scanner is connected to a Mac II with no less than 5MB RAM (I know this sounds weird; we sometimes change which Mac it's physically connected to), and the several megabytes per image make Ethernet the only reasonable way to get TIFF files to the NeXT--portable EPSF files would be twice the size (hence there's a significant advantage in performing the conversion on the NeXT). We tried a number of network programs on the Mac and settled on NCSA Telnet for its high performance and ease of use--and we couldn't beat the price (free). -=EPS=-

I just scanned my picture with AppleScanner and saved it as a tiff and NCSA ftp'ed it to the NeXT and opened it with Icon. The colors were switched (black was white, etc) but that was changed easily enough. Should I have done something more complicated? :) Cliff

The colors were switched >(black was white, etc) but that was changed easily enough. Should I have >done something more complicated? :) The NeXT software apparently ignores the PhotometricInterpretation tag; my tifftoeps (see <313@toaster.SFSU.EDU>) compensates for this. BTW, I wrote tifftoeps under 0.9; it emits a spurious 0 0 translate and 1 1 scale--feel free to remove them. -=EPS=-
