[Tutor] more on wx and tiff

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

Hi Wayne,

Yep, I considered using PIL, but that package won't read so-called Group 4 Tiffs 
[1]. They're two-page, black-and-white scanned forms. I need part of the second 
form (i.e., the backside of a certificate). The page contains some hand-written 
info which needs to be presented in a simple data entry program, which I made 
using Tkinter.

The forms are confidential so they may not leave the company network. And the IT 
droids are somewhat paranoid so it's very time-consuming to get some new 
executable 'inside' the company network. Beeeh, formalities... :-(

Have you tried using the PIL?
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/

import Image
i = Image.open("file.tiff")
i.save(open('file.png', 'w'), filetype='png')

I don't know if that was previously suggested, but it should work on any 
platform with PIL installed. 

HTH,
Wayne
