- WHAT DOES IT DO?
- jpeg will convert a .gif file to a .tiff file using jpeg compression.
- You will typically get a new tiff file that is 10% the size of the original
- gif. This is quite impressive since gif files are already compressed! The
- resulting tiff file can be viewed with icon or ImageViewer.
-
- HOW TO USE IT
- jpeg will use a factor of 120.0 for the compression by default,
- I find that this gives little loss of quality (at least on my mono station),
- but you can change this to whatever you like. Higher values will compress
- more and they will also look worse.
-
- The command is:
- jpeg <gif-file> -o <tiff> [-f factor] [-v]
