Hello!,

We would like to make a batch convertion of a set of TIFF images (bilevel) in any format (Group 3, Group 4, LZW, Pack Bits, etc). to CCITT Group 4 Fascimile encoding. So far we had have apply "tiffcp" tool v.1.19, the command used is as follow: "tiffcp -g4 -rowsperstrip 3300 -ignore <source> <target>".

With the results some viewers (xtiff, xv v.3.00, etc) show striping that distort the image.

The question is: why tiffcp provokes this distortion?, could there be lost of data?.

Does anyone have any ideas on how best to solve this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thank.
