I am trying to create Tiled Multi-Resolution TIFFs for use with IIPImage. They recommend two Unix-based command line tools (VIPS and ImageMagick) for doing this.

Is there a Microsoft Windows (GUI) tool that allows me to do the same thing? Perhaps a Photoshop plug-in or some easier way I can do it on my Windows desktop.

Answer 1

A GUI isn't really needed. When you install the ImageMagick windows binary it installs a great set of command line tools. Simply run 'cmd' and enter the command line provided in the IIPImage documentation:

convert input1.jpg -define tiff:tile-geometry=256x256 -compress jpeg ptif:output.tif

It's probably easier than you think. I know you were interested in a GUI, but honestly it's not needed in this case. Much easier and faster using the command line.
