#IFF conversions
4 messages in this thread
I'm looking for a utility which will convert IFF ILBM picture files to an
IBM format (TIFF, PCX, or MSP). Is there something of that nature on this
board?
Thanks much.
The commercial products that will convert Amiga IFF to IBM formats include
Hijaak and Deluxe Paint (MS-DOS version) for the PC, and The Art Department
for the Amiga. An indirect approach is to convert the IFF to GIF, and the
GIF to TIFF, PCX, or MSP. Freely-redistributable utilities exist that will
do this, but the one's I know about require an Amiga to handle the IFF to
GIF part and a PClone to handle the GIF to TIFF/PCX/MSP part.
You can scan through the Amiga-to-GIF utilities over in AmigaArts.
Is this a one-off, or something you'll be doing repeatedly?
I just reviewed Data Library 9 in AmigaArts and found AMGIF.LZH, February
1990 vintage, that will convert all Amiga formats to GIF including extra
halfbright. It runs on an Amiga.
Kevin, I'm not sure whether we have a utility to covert TO TIFF, etc., but
I know there are several that will convert FROM those to IFF. That kind of
utility would be in Library 9 of AmigaArts. Look through – you will
probably find something there.
