Unhappy Multipage TIFF Viewer?


I am transitioning our office to LINUX, well hopefully, my biggest problem is I cannot find a multipage .tiff viewer in linux.

Many apps let you look at the first page but not the others.

Does anyone know of an app out there?

Thanks.

I'm using ImageMagick for that. Looks like this:

$ identify Artclub.tif
Artclub.tif[0] TIFF 359x270+0+0 PseudoClass 256c 8-bit 102.6kb 0.000u 0:01
Artclub.tif[1] TIFF 100x75+0+0 PseudoClass 256c 8-bit 102.6kb 0.000u 0:01
$ display Artclub.tif


"identify" shows the content, and "display" lets you browse through the tif.

And then when you are searching for tools which can manipulate the tiff files you are completely lost.

Have you tried the LibTIFF library and manipulation utilities? It's quite powerful and generally considered the standard for processing TIFF files on Unix.

I would like to have a nice desktop application for that. My wife is not that technician and she should also be able to handle it.

List her requirements and someone may be able to make a suggestion. Is she currently using a TIFF editing program in Windows?

She/we need Rotation, Despeckle, Insert and Delete pages to/from a multipage tiff (greyscale with JPG compression or b/w in Group 4).
