TIFF to JPEG thumbnails

Hi,

In order to make a professional gallery I'd like to manage TIFF files too. This could pass by a JPEG thumbnail generation to browse galleries and then the TIFF file would be accessed from the image.php page only.

Can someone tell me how to change the thumbnail generator?

Thanks
Pierre

    I may be wrong but php's GD image manipulation tools doesn't support Tiffs.

    Also, I think you're nuts to use TIFFs online.

    None of my pro photographer / photojournalist clients use TIFF online.

    JPEG should be adequate.

    who says it will be online? The gallery will be offline on intranet for specific management task. I know that TIFF is not a web standard...
    But I'll do it with ImageMagick that will convert TIFF into JPEG thumbs into cache folder and the TIFF file will only be available on the last image link to download the image.

    ImageMagick should do it... someone once posted a mod of i.php to imagemagick, I'd look for that.

    I have the patches from them, I should integrate. It might be good to have for others as well and might even be faster.
