PyTIFF

Introduction

PyTIFF is a library for using TIFF files and advanced imaging in Python. To install pytiff, download the current tar.gz archive and unpack in a directory of your choice. Then, provided you have the necessary software installed, you can install pytiff with python setup.py install, or type python setup.py --help for more information. The library is documented in pytiff.html. Have fun!

FAQ

How do I encode an image with a specific compression method?

You can determine how an image will be compressed by setting an appropriate value for the 'compression' key in its metadata. Here is an example to convert all images of a TIFF file to G4 compression. (This will, of course, fail if the source images aren't black and white.)

import pytiff

class AttrChangeFilter:
    def __init__(self, image, new_metadata):
        self.image = image
        self.new_metadata = new_metadata
    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        return getattr(self.image, attr)
    def get_metadata(self):
        return self.new_metadata
    metadata = property(get_metadata, None, None)

r = pytiff.TiffReader("infile.tiff")
w = pytiff.TiffWriter("outfile.tiff")


for p in r:
    m = dict(p.metadata)
    m["compression"] = "T6"
    p = AttrChangeFilter(p, m)
    w.append(p)
