Intermittent failure converting TIF to JPG


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

this is my first post here. Love the board, it has helped me iron out quirks in many small and a few larger scripts over the last 2-3 years. This time I have run into something I can't get fixed though.

As part of a larger data organizer program, I need to convert TIF files into JPG files. I decided to use the GDIPlus library for that. The problem I run into is that some of the TIF files are converted without a program and other TIF files end up as JPG files with just the header information. As a proof of concept, I am only using the small program below. At first I thought it was a size restriction, because the unsuccessful conversion all where files larger (800kB+) than the successful ones (<500kB). But then downloaded two TIF images of greater than 2MB and they got converted just fine.

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
_Main()
Func _Main()
    Local $hImage, $sCLSID
    _GDIPlus_Startup()
    $hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile("C:\temp\test_in.tif")
    $sCLSID = _GDIPlus_EncodersGetCLSID("TIF")
    _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFileEx($hImage, "C:\temp\test_out1.tif", $sCLSID)
    _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage, "C:\temp\test_out2.jpg")
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()
EndFunc

If someone is willing to help, I can send two sample TIF files (one working, one not working). I'd rather not upload them, because I am not 100% sure on the confidentiality.

Just saw that I still had the old source code of me playing around in there. Since I can't edit the original post, here's the correct one. As you can see, I try to save the image using both _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFileEx and _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile. Both yield the results described above.

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
_Main()
Func _Main()
    Local $hImage, $sCLSID
    _GDIPlus_Startup()
    $hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile("C:temptest_in.tif")
    $sCLSID = _GDIPlus_EncodersGetCLSID("JPG")
    _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFileEx($hImage, "C:temptest_out1.jpg", $sCLSID)
    _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage, "C:temptest_out2.jpg")
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()
EndFunc
