Idrisi import and export does not support Windows95
naming conventions. Therefore part of your file names may be shortened.
Furthermore, this section is assuming two things. First, that you saved your
TIFF files with a .tif extension. Second, that the scanned TIFF file is stored
in the Idrisi working directory. You can check
Idrisi's working directory under Environment > ENVIRON
The path of the working directory should be the
same place as your scanned image.
After starting Idrisi choose File > Import/Export
off the top menu bar.
From the top menu bar on the import/export utility
choose Import > Desktop Publishing Formats > TIFIDRIS
Make sure the TIFF to Idrisi button is selected.
You can either double click on the Input TIFF file: white box and select your
scanned photo. or type the name in directly. You can name the output file
whatever you would like, but we recommend that it should resemble the original
name.
Exporting a File
Follow the steps shown above until step 2 where you
should choose Export > Desktop Publishing Formats > TIFIDRIS
Make sure the Idrisi to TIFF button is selected.
You can double click on the Input Idrisi image: white box to select the name or
type the name in directly. Since you are working with a Black & White image do
not check the Export palette option. The TIFF page resolution should be set to
the resolution of your original photograph. The Output TIFF file: name can be
the same as the original name or it can be a new name. If it is the same as the
original name then the old file will be overwritten.
