Subject: Urgently needed: Fast CCITT G4 (TIFF T6) to GIF with scaling. Small footprint

Hi,

I need to convert A4/Letter sized images from CCITT G4
(can be presented as TIFF T6 if needed) to GIF and scale from
2592x3508 to 1200x817 in the process

ImageMagick/libTiff can do this with a Mitchell filter but this is
REALLY
a pig, hogging both memory/swap file and cpu.

Normally this would not be a problem, but since this will be done on the

fly and perhaps several times concurrently I am really unhappy.

Does anyone have any alternatives?

Thanks in advance

Michel

PS Has anyone compiled ImageMagick/libTiff under AIX?
