If that works, try it again without the "-density 300 -units pixelsperinch" options.
didn't someone say there were no hoops to jump through??
sure looks like hoops to me.
Incidentally, all of that works exactly the same way on an OSX or MS-WINDOWS machine.
Not on my OSX machine it doesn't. I import RAW files (NEF, CR2, & RAF) into Lightroom or open in ACR without jumping through a single hoop. Admittedly I have set up my LR import & file handling preferences. Images adjusted non-destructively in LR and can be exported in your format of choice. If taken into Photoshop the resulting image can be saved in your format of choice. Not a hoop in sight.
there's nothing to set up to support tif in lightroom or photoshop.
We were not talking about Lightroom or Photoshop.
the key here is that you are only focused on one app. that's a very narrow view.
i want results. i don't care what the app is.
photoshop/lightroom gets me results in the fastest most efficient way out of anything i've tried, which includes a bunch of stuff, even the gimp.
what things might those be?nospamFloyd L. Davidson
as you say, it 'just works'.
And other things don't.
no it isn't, especially for pdf.nospamFloyd L. Davidson
on a mac, tif, jpeg and many other image formats, are native, just like text and pdf. that means even the simplest app can support just about anything.
Which is true on Linux systems too.
you don't understand how os x handles document files.
But all of them have apps that do not necessarily support every possible configuration of every possible standard format. Have you ever looked at what a TIFF formatted file can be? I guarantee that I can write more than a couple of "standard TIFF" files that you'll play Hell finding anything to read!sure have and wrote my own tiff handler once, long ago. what a pain in the ass that was.
i'm also curious just how difficult these intentionally bogus files would be, seeing that you have no way to test it, outside of linux.
i'm pretty sure that adobe's tiff handling is going to manage quite well. they're very familiar with the format...
Just for grins I tried google to see what PhotoShop does support, and couldn't really find an exact list quickly. What I find was a tutorial that said it supports 25 different file formats.what does that prove?
So I counted how many GIMP suppors. 36.
how many of those are obscure formats that nobody actually uses?
and a new format can be added with an import/export plugin anyway.
