- I'm trying to convert raster images (generated by OWV3 Snapshot) to
- either MacPaint or TIFF format. I got the PBM utilities including
- "rasttopbm" and "pbmtomacp" which should do what I want, except that
- Snapshot produces 8 bit deep images and "rasttopbm" only handles 1 bit
- deep images.
-
- There's no problem there because there's a program called "8to1" and
- another called "rasfilter8to1" that comes with SunOS.
- The problem is when I try to run either program I get the following
- error:
-
- input has unsupported colormap type or length
-
- Does anyone know if Snapshot produces strange raster, or if there's an
- 8to1 filter that handles snapshot images?
-
- When I do a "file" on the raster image I get the following, so I know
- it's 8-bit deep:
-
- % file snapshot.rs
- snapshot.rs: rasterfile, 71x70x8 standard format image
-
- Thanks,
-
