Imagemagick does the job. Command I used was this: convert -colors 2 -density 600x600 -colorspace gray -compress group4 pg_0015.pdf pg_0015.tif The tif files generated are bitonal and the djvulibre bitonal algorithm cjb2 works fine on them. Was not able to batch, so I used openoffice spreadshee

Hi all, I am looking for a plugin that will help me convert a color image to Black and White. I have looked at the Plugin Registry and found a couple that do this, but they are not interactive. I would like to see for example, the difference between a yellow filter and a red filter are, and togg

It's worth remembering that printing is almost universally still 8bit. However, it is clearly very important that any current image package should allow opening and manipulation of greater depth images. My own camera is a long obsolete Fuji S20 but it produces 12bit images. As a result all

Hello, I have some tiff files which I want to convert to djvu using the bitonal encoder of djvulibre. However, my tiff files are nominally color, even though they just contain B&W text. How can I transform these files to be bitonal? Also, is there a way to batch this job? -- Alexandru I. Cabuz
