For JPG images, I will need to use a compression named "JPEG Original Tiff 6.0 spec" while for TIFF images will need "Group 4 Fax (aka CCITT Fax4). In this case, what is the available compression type available for me to achieve this. Thanks in advanced. Regards, Wilson    Report

To save TIF Files compressed using CCITT group4, try to use FILE_CCITT_GROUP4 constant. Thanks, Maen Badwan LEADTOOLS Technical Support    Report

But i still having problem with the JPEG compression as an error prompted out "Invalid QFactor specified". Below was my code: RasterIO.Save rasterImage, strDir & strName, FILE_TIF_JPEG, 8, nCount, SAVE_APPEND I'm using 8 bit (Greyscale) and above code for 2nd image added to the multipage tiff. Please assist. Thanks. Regards, Wilson    Report

Try to save the file as follows: RasterIO.Save rasterImage, strDir & strName, FILE_TIF_JPEG, 8, 2, SAVE_APPEND Please let me know if this helps.

By the way, i found that the compression available was new compression for JPEG. I had tried below compression method: i. FILE_TIF_JPEG ii. FILE_TIF_JPEG_411 iii. FILE_TIF_JPEG_422 iv. FILE_TIF_J2K I need an old JPEG compression to compress my images to the size below 50 kb. The compression needed was "JPEG original TIFF 6.0 spec". Thanks for your assistance.

Option 1: RasterIO.SaveOldJTIF = True RasterIO.SaveOldJTIF rasterImage, strDir & strName, FILE_TIF_JPEG, 8, 1, SAVE_OVERWRITE Option 2: RasterIO.SaveOldJTIF = True RasterIO.Save rasterImage, strDir & strName, FILE_TIF_JPEG, 8, 1, SAVE_OVERWRITE Just for enquiry, am i using the wrong command. Please assist. Thanks. Regards, Wilson    Report

You should not pass 1, but a value between 2 and 255. Please read the help topic "Compression Quality Factors" in our Main Raster COM help file.
