[magick-users] Converting TIFF files

[Kevin Myers]

Here is the contents of a simple .BAT file that I run under Windows using 
IM's convert command to split multipage TIFF files:

@echo off
for %%f in (%1) do convert "%%f" "%%~nf-%%02d.tif"

Put that in a file called tiffsplit.bat, and run it like something like 
this:

tiffsplit "c:\pathtoyourfiles\*.tif"

Maybe that will be enough to get you started.

There is also a simpler (and faster) utility designed for this specific 
purpose that you can download as part of the GnuWin32 libtiff binary package 
for Windows.  It is also called tiffsplit.

HTH,
s/KAM
