Convert .tif to .jpg with GD library, possible?

[vigour]

Dear forum.

I want to convert a tif file to jpg.

My client is scanning pictures in tif format. They will then be uploaded to my picture database. It would be nice if my database could convert the tif file to a jpg in two different sizes. A thumbnail and a bigger one.

Is that possible with the GD library?

Hi Vigour,

there is good and bad news I suppose.

I do ont know of a way of doing it with GD library. however, if you have access to your server setup, you could run the free php plugin from imagemagic, which can do it. Check out their website.

Altough I assume you cannot do this.. have you conisdered converting all images to jpg / gif before uploading them? Those formats can very easily be manipulated through GD.

Also note that there is an ImageMagick PECL extension available for PHP.
