Hey, all.. I was wondering if anyone knew of any weird issues surrounding the TIFFs output by Poser 4.03 (this may apply to other versions, I dunno). Seems something is wonky with the file format. Here's the issue: Using ImageMagick 5.2.9, either scripted in Perl or using the command line interface, I get a weird result ANY TIME I open a Poser TIFF and write it, either still as a TIFF or as some othe file format. This issue doesn't arise with TIFFs generated by Photoshop 5.5. As a matter of fact, if I open a Poser TIFF and resave it in Photoshop 5.5, it's not broken. Only if the image is a straight Poser-generated TIFF does this happen. I'll post a JPEG conversion of the results of one of these. For those who don't know, ImageMagick is a sort of command-line Photoshop, available free from www.imagemagick.org. IM is able to do all sorts of conversions, filter effects, montages, create animated GIFs and MPEGs, and so on. The main use for it, of course, is in scripting -- for instance, you can batch convert 100 TIFFs to 91x91 PNGs in a minute or so, hands free. Scripting also applies to web scripting, and on my site that I'm building -- www.xfx3d.com -- I'm building the forums system and I want it to go a little further than the one you're in right now, so rather than printing an error message if your image is too big, I resize it to not too big automatically, and it goes up fine. Likewise the file format -- I have to wait for the upload whether I give you an error emssage or not, so why not just convert the image, and since ImageMagick using the Perl API can easily load in and convert an image from TIFF or Photoshop or AIFF or IFF or Targa or whatever into any other format except AOL Art, basically, I should be nice and allow uploads of all sorts of files and just tuirn anything that's not a JPEG, GIF or PNG into a JPEG automatically, right? Except that TIFF output is one fo the most common outputs from Poser, and people would probably like to just upload TIFFs from Poser without having to convert them themselves, and for some reason it's not handling Poser 4 TIFFs (and maybe other versions) and doing the weird thing you see above. Again, let me reinforce, TIFFs output by other programs are NOT doing this, only TIFFs I have created with Poser. Of course, the TIFFs are fine if I open them with other things, but ImageMagick is pretty picky on the file format being correct (it grumbles about Photoshop ones but doens't mess them up like this).
