Want to do following:
1. Scan a picture with Apple Scanner and AppleScan -program (16 gray
scale)
(1.b Perhaps manipulate image with Digital Darkroom -program)
2. Save/export picture as TIFF -file (8-bit)
3. Move it to UNIX system w/ FTP
4. Move it to PC floppy disk
5.a Import image into WP 5.1 text
5.b Convert image to .WPG file and import into the text
Everythings OK but one thing: TIFF -image is inverted to
negative image. (gray scales have been reversed - black is white and
so on) and I can't get image into right gray scales.
In UNIX system I can view those scanned images without
problems w/ Poskanzer graphics tools: tifftopgm TIFF-file | pgmtopbm |
pbmtoxwd | xwud.
Help me!

I'm not too familiar with Digital Darkroom, so I don't know iif it provides an option for saving Intel TIFF files. If you have access to Adobe Photoshop, however, I know for a fact that that program supports both Motorola and Intel byte-ordering in its TIFF save dialog box. ------------ Dave Walker, DAS My big mouth, not theirs. marmoset@ub.cc.umich.edu (preferred) or marmoset@mondo.engin.umich.edu
