Help! Plotting Tiff |
|
|
I need to open a Tiff image of an autocad drawing in photoshop. It
seems like plotting to file as a tiff is the way to go, but i can't
seem to get this resulting tiff image in colour - its always black
and white and the gray hatch that i have made becomes black?!!
Any ideas?

The compressed Tiff raster driver uses CCITT G4 compression which only
supports B/W
Use the uncompressed Tiff raster driver which includes color as an
option. Yes, it will make a huge file, but I was able to open this TIF
in IrfanView and saveit with LZW compression and the file size dropped
by 1/40
Alternatively, you might be able to find an LZW compression TIF raster
driver to save the extra step. i.e.:

You might try printing it as a .pdf file.
Much clearer image.
If you don't have a pdf printer, try CutePDF. Free
