Single page TIFF extraction.

[MelonStrings]

Hi,

Apologies for the nature of this post, I usually try to research things far more thorougly, but I've had a quick google on this and can't find anything readily available. This is an issue I'm under quite a bit of pressure for an answer on so I'd appreciate any help that can be provided.

Is it possible with IrfanView via either the command line interface or an API call to extract a particular (known image number) image from a multipage TIFF?

Cheers,

Example for page:
i_view32.exe c:\test.tif /page=3
=> Open page number 3 from the multipage image 'c:\test.tif'

Here you go.

Hi,

Thanks for the fast response, I did see that option from within the command line arguments.

What I'm looking for is a little more specific, I'd need something like

i_view32.exe c:\mutilpage.tif /page=2 c:\page2.tif

so that I can extract just page 2 out of the multipage tif and have that saved under another filename, I'm happy to go through multiple steps/conversions etc, I just can't quite find the right combination I'm after in the documentation.

It's probably me just missing something!! I've been looking at this for most of the day now (not just IrfanView, but alternative solutions aswell) and haven't got it right just yet.

Cheers,
Melon.

Oh, you need to save it too.

OK.

i_view32.exe c:\multipage.tif /page=2 /convert=c:\page2.tif

You can obviously expand on this, or make it easier to use by putting it in a batch file/shortcut.

Caution: You must uncheck the setting Save all pages from original image in TIFF Save options for this to work. You can change the setting by:

• Going into File>Batch Conversion/Rename and choose TIF [Options],
• By saving a TIF through the Save dialog with the option, or
• Edit the controlling INI entry SaveAllPages=0 in section [TIFF].
