Subject:      Scaling and conversion of TIFFs
To: mailto:IMAGELIB@LISTSERV.ARIZONA.EDU

I have a great quantity of 8-bit TIFFs coming in (165,000 or so).  I want to
perform a batch operation that will scale them down 50% and convert them to
JPEGs at about 20:1 or 30:1.  Graphic Workshop from Alchemy Mindworks looked
promising, but it turns them into 24-bit JPEGs and reverses the color (turns
them into negatives), and several weeks of seeking a response from them has
been fruitless.
     I welcome suggestions for software.
