Add support to save as .tiff format
Hi.
.tiff is very important format for scanning, specially for scanning of large books.
Currently, simple-scan not support saving scanned items in this format (.tiff) ! Why ?
I suggest on you to add support for this format. This will elevate simple-scan to high !
If you accept my suggestion, then please notice the following:
- .tiff format can be multi-page file or single page file. This mean that If I have a book of 100 page, then when I use .tiff to scan it, I should be able to select between "save as multi-page file" or "save as single-page files"
multi-page file: mean that all 100 scanned pictures will saved as single .tiff multi-page file.
single page file: mean that each of the 100 scanned pictures will saved as individual .tiff file
- .tiff format has many compression options, & this is one of it's power characters. These are:
- Huffman RLE
- CCITT Fax 3
- CCITT Fax 4
- Zip
- Packbits
- LZW
User should be able to select of them .... Please notice that the best compression type for monochrome (text) mode is CCITT Fax 4
Best.
