Ray,
I have written the utility you are looking for so desperately. It's
a commandline Delphi app that is passed two parameters:
1 - The name of the TIFF file to modify 2 - The new value for photometric interpretation. The only legal values are 0 (white is the minimum value) or 1 (black is the minimum value).
Since it is a console app, it can be called from a batch file. It returns 1 on success and 0 on failure. If you have any problems, let me know. I have attached it to the message I sent to you directly. I didn't attach it to the general posting since most members probably don't want it. If any do, just let me know.
Thanks,
PeterM
Your right on the link address. But I might have found another, and perhaps better way. There's a program in libtiff distribution called
tiffset.exe. Unfortunately, there are no instructions or help files. Executing it with no parameters results in some very terse instructions. I then tried using it to change the photometric interpretation from 1 to 0, but tiffinfo says it was changed to a big number. Consequently, either I need a more complete instruction set or I must conclude it doesn't work. Does anyone have a set of instructions for tiffset.exe?
