Save TIFF withot compression from command line
Save TIFF withot compression from command line
An image can be saved from UI in TIFF without compression. Is there a way to save image from command line without LZW compression, specifically 48-bit color image?

No, that is not currently possible. Why do you want that? LZW compression is lossless, so you're getting the exact same file but it's a bit smaller and probably takes a bit less time to be saved.
Re: Save TIFF withot compression from command line
The main reason to save uncompressed is that next software package in the processing chain cannot correctly read 48-bit LZW images.
As for the size, there are no savings, just the opposite (which is strange). Image dimensions are 1904x1428 (15931KB). The size of image saved by Helicon is 18569KB. The same uncompressed image (saved by Photoshop) is 15955KB. In this case is better to save uncompressed.

We'll see how quickly we can add a command line option for saving uncompressed TIFF. Are you on Mac or Windows?

We've added the command line option "-tiff:u" to save uncompressed TIFF images: https://office.heliconsoft.com/cloud/index.php/s/EHmG6BQjSyaGjEK

Thanks for fast fix. I will give it a try and report back...
Re: Save TIFF withot compression from command line
I am getting an error after adding "-tiff:u" to command line: "No source file found at path -tiff:u". My command line is something like this:
-silent E:\Data\\2_XYZ\9210_00_A_01 -save:E:\Data\3_Focus_Stacking\9210_00_A_01.tif -tiff:u -mp:1 -rp:8 -sp:4
Can you provide an example how a command line should look?
Thanks

Re: Save TIFF withot compression from command line
Sorry, small mistake: it's "-tif", not "-tiff"
Re: Save TIFF withot compression from command line
Thanks. That works great.
