Converting Images

[tim123]

Hi,

I am working in excel and trying to import a 16 bitt Tiff image into excel. I have not been able to do this so I am trying to write a macro that converts an image to a jpeg in ImageJ from the command line but I am having a lot of difficulty. I was just going to say the picture in the same folder as a JPEG and then import that picture. Thanks for any advice!

Unix OS have a command line tool to convert image formats. Check out the
convert command

Hi Tim,

use the macro recorder, Plugins>Macros>Record, and perform the steps manually:
- Open the tiff image
- Adjust brightness&contrast as you like (if required, maybe use the 'Auto' button of the B&C panel)
- Save as Jpeg

For running ImageJ with that macro from the command line, see
  http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/docs/guide/146-18.html#toc-Section-18

If you pass the filename from the commandline, you have to use getArgument() in the macro:

e.g.
  > ImageJ -macro myConvertMacro.ijm /DiskE/data/myImage.tif
and in the macro
  open(getArgument());

Tim,
This is likely part of the ImageMagick package, installed on many Linux
systems.  It's a very useful utility, especially for command line and batch
processing of images.  It's available for Windows from www.imagemagick.org.
There's also the similar GraphicsMagick at www.graphicsmagick.org which
should accomplish the same thing.

For rendering and converting excel to tiff image or tiff file to excel document, you can use an image document converter to convert single Excel page or multiple Excel spreadsheets to multi-page TIFF file.
