TIFF to Postscript Converter Command Line

TIFF to Postscript Converter Command Line is a software to batch convert from TIFF files to Postscript (PS/EPS) files. PostScript is a file format that can be both vector image and document file. It can contain vector images and text at the same time. PS file holds an instruction about how to print. As it supports both text and images so it can instruct printers how to print the file. PS files are later improved as PDF format. PostScript (PS) is a computer language for creating vector graphics. It is a dynamically typed, concatenative programming language. It is used as a page description language in the electronic and desktop publishing areas.

tiff2ps reads TIFF images and writes PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) on the standard output. By default, tiff2ps writes Encapsulated PostScript for the first image in the specified TIFF image file. By default, tiff2ps will generate PostScript that fills a printed area specified by the TIFF tags in the input file. If the file does not contain XResolution or YResolution tags, then the printed area is set according to the image dimensions. The -w and -h options (see below) can be used to set the dimensions of the printed area in inches; overriding any relevant TIFF tags. The PostScript generated for RGB, palette, and CMYK images uses the colorimage operator. The PostScript generated for greyscale and bilevel images uses the image operator. When the colorimage operator is used, PostScript code to emulate this operator on older PostScript printers is also generated. Note that this emulation code can be very slow. Color images with associated alpha data are composited over a white background.
