TIFF File Format From GeniScan ScanEdit II |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer has GeniScan ScanEdit II version 2.07. When they try to import a TIFF file from ScanEdit into WordPerfect, the image is garbaged. When the customer views the graphic, lines appear in the View Document screen. Another file scanned in TIFF format using GeniScan comes into WP with a different width and height than specified. If the user doesn't specify the size first, the height defaults to 7.5", but the logo is only about 1" high and .5" wide. When the user starts to scale it, the right line disappears after it gets so big. Solutions: ScanEdit, versions 2.07 and earlier, wrote the TIFF format incorrectly. The customer needs to update to version 2.08 of the ScanEdit software. The TIFF format problem has been corrected in this latest release. However, the TIFF files will not autosize correctly in WP. The image resolution data in the file is written wrong - it shows the files as being 0.997dpi. The customer will have to size the images manually. Note: Both MSP and PCX formats will work correctly in either version of ScanEdit. In most cases the customer will want to use the "Save Sub-image" command rather than the "Save Image" command to save the file from ScanEdit (any format). The Save Image command will add lots of extra white space around the graphic. The resolution coordinates are wrong in the second file; they show the image to be 19.7" wide and 45.5" high. WP makes a rough estimate of how this is supposed to look, but there is still some error. CorelDRAW views and prints the image the same as WP does. |
