PS to Merge TIFF images

Hi All,

I am planning to go with the postscript programming to merge multiple tiff files into single page tiff image file. Is this the right language to go with this plan?

OR,

This can be used only to merge tiff images to postscript file and directly send to the printer?

A valuable advice before to go with the plan is highly appreciatable...

Thanks & Regards,

Madhav.

If you want to end up with an actual TIFF file then I think you would be better off using something other than PostScript to do it.

With PostScript you could generate files that could then be converted in batch to TIFF, but that would be an extra, unnecessary step, unless you wanted do some special formatting or typesetting in the file before it was converted to TIFF.

Also, a PostScript file doesn't have to be sent to a printer.

Hi,

Actual requirement is to tile a few TIFF images to a single page (as if a single image) and view it and print by a image printer.

A sample image-tile is given below:-

Member images are not same in size. In this case which is the right method?

Thanks & Regards,

I wouldn't use PostScript. I would recommend a more traditional programming language to transform individual TIFF files into a single TIFF file as in your example (ie. Visual Basic, C, C++, or whatever you are comfortable with).
