Sorry if this is OT, but faxing has given me fits for years.
I want to receive a fax, via modem on my Debian PC,
edit it in GIMP and fax it back. Here's what I
think works:
- use mgetty to receive fax
- open fax in GIMP (GIMP can read but not write .g3 files)
- scale image to double vertical dimension for normal (204x98 dpi)
faxes
- edit image and save in, say, GIMP's xcf format
- scale image to halve vertical dimension
- using ImageMagick "convert" to .g3 format (ImageMagick can read but
not write GIMP's xcf format
- use mgetty's "sendfax" to send fax
Is there a better way? Whenever I google for help I never seem to be
able to find anything but the ImageMagick manual pages which have not
helped me (for years :( ).
Thanks.
Mark
