TIFF Exif multiple image issue.

Post by latitudehopper »

Hi there,

When I run a batch -thumbnail or -convert I get duplicates with Tiff images. I think it is because there is a preview image in the exif. Is there a way to ignore the exifs/previews or even strip them?

Cheers

Normally, a read modifier should 'fix' that:

So, use e.g. "convert input.tif[0] output" to just convert the first page in a multi-page TIFF (or the first/biggest image in a multi-resolution TIFF).
