Convert JPG (Mac and Windows) to TIFF
Posted: Wed May 18, 2005 9:33 am
Hello All,
Ok, so I have built a website using php which allows users to upload a jpg file and store it in a directory. This is working well for the web and the images are displayed. The next step is to "professionally" publish these images also in a "newspaper" where the images are required to be converted to TIFF format. Although I am not currently performing this task (will be required to have a solution next week) I have been informed (heard a rumour) that the Mac and Windows JPG files are different and standard conversion utilities may not be relied upon.
Although thoughts on a solution/the actual solution would be appreciated (conversion to be Suse Linux batched based) I am also interested in knowing any web links to a description of these differences/difficulties. I have looked on Google but have found nothing really applicable so far. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
Thanks
