I'm rather new to all this, so bear with me if it's something stupid. Anyway, I wanted to see the binarized image that's going into the OCR, so I followed these steps:
1) Create a new config file (basically just copied one of the existing files and edited it using Notepad++) with just the line 'tessedit_write_images T' in it and named it 'myconfig'
2) Saved it in /tessdata/configs along with the others
3) Ran the command 'tesseract input.jpg output -l eng -psm 3 myconfig
The command runs, it generates an output, but for the life of me I can't find tessinput.tif anywhere, not in the output directory, the input image one, nor the installation folder in Program Files. Any help?
