Hi,

I have an application that requires batch conversion of images(there
are abt 2000 images...so batch conversion is a abosolutely necessay)
to be converted from tiff format to raw format....I thnk the header in
the tiff files should be removed for it be a raw file...though i'm not
sure if i'm right..

So is there any C++ code or software that'll allow me to do this..

Thanx in advance...any hlp is greatly appreciated

Go to www.libtiff.org

They have plenty code that you can use without even caring about what TIFF
is about!

if your using a Mac, a good shareware product that will do batch convert
from tiff to raw is GraphicConverter:
http://www.lemkesoft.com

If you want to read-in & process as raw, you dont have to actually remove
the tiff header, you simply need to know what the header size is, in
bytes, then skip over it; this usually works for grayscale images, but
beware, tiff can have non-image bytes interspersed betweem rows of image
bytes, so just skipping or stripping-off the header isnt always
sufficient

PaintShop Pro is another suggestion...

Check out ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/), this is my fav free
tool for batch conversions and image manipulation.

You don't even have to use C++; Take a look at IGOR Pro
http://www.wavemetrics.com. You can make IGOR process this batch task
with a few lines of IGOR code.

You can get a hold of XnView for free. You can get it from tucows.com,
download.com or a whole slew of other freeware/shareware hosting sites.

Or you might consider www.imagtek.com. The application is fully scriptable.
