D_M_S Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 First post - love the program, its provided a great amount of help in launching my business. I need to convert a PDN file to a 1-bit depth, B&W TIFF file. Can I do this natively within the program? I have managed to convert it with Paint but it wont hold the resolution I need. There has to be a way to this within the program. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Paint.NET only has a bare minimum level of support for TIFF images. 1-bit saving is not supported.

D_M_S Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Paint.NET only has a bare minimum level of support for TIFF images. 1-bit saving is not supported. I was afraid that this was going to be the answer. I looked well within the program and couldn't find a way to do it - thanx for confirming it.

jxp Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I have now updated my Low Color filetype plugin to include Tiff. I tried saving the same black and white (not greyscale) image using Paint.NET's inbuilt tiff and my low color tiff. The low color image was 1/5 the size. Quote Don't know what plugin to use? Try looking in the plugin gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srtech Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 If you are interested in converting to a TIFF file including a 1-bit or 8-bit TIFF file you could use RIP software to convert from a PDN file to a TIFF. If you are not using a file format that a RIP can natively process then you may have to print from the paint application (or another application that has the PDN file open) and then print directly to the RIP from the design application. A lot of RIPs including full resolution Harlequin RIPs include TIFF output capability so you can print directly to the RIP then output your TIFF file. You can find out more about Harlequin RIPs on the following page: http://www.rti-rips.com. There is also a good explanation of what RIPs (Raster Image Processors) can do in general at the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_image_processor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRobe Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) What happened to this thread? In case it's just me, i'll explain - it looks like 3- 4 posts were repeated over and over? Or maybe I'm just crazy.. Edited September 25, 2014 by MikeRobe Quote I baked another one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yup. You're sane. That was a legacy of the forum migration a long time back.
