jpeg gif -> jpeg (tiff) converter By David Koski dkoski@cs.arizona.edu WHAT DOES IT DO? jpeg will convert a .gif file to a .tiff file using jpeg compression. You will typically get a new tiff file that is 10% the size of the original gif. This is quite impressive since gif files are already compressed! The resulting tiff file can be viewed with icon or ImageViewer. HOW TO USE IT jpeg will use a factor of 120.0 for the compression by default, I find that this gives little loss of quality (at least on my mono station), but you can change this to whatever you like. Higher values will compress more and they will also look worse. The command is: jpeg <gif-file> -o <tiff> [-f factor] [-v]
