Faster conversion

[yeller]

Hello,

I'm trying to convert a tiff to jpeg. The reason why I want to do this is becuase the original tiff is 12M in size. And since it is being transmitted across the internet, it will take a long time for that file to be transmitted. The jpeg I create from the tiff is about 5M. Part of the problem is that it's taking me 8 seconds to create the jpeg. Is there anything I can do to speed up the creation of this jpeg?

I've tried reducing the quality but that didn't help.

The tiff is LZW compressed

Thank You

For faster processing make sure you have a modern version of ImageMagick since recent versions have performance improvements. Next up is adding more memory to your system and finally run on a multi-core system. ImageMagick runs on multiple processors if they are available. However, if your are just converting TIFF to JPEG, that particular workflow is single threaded.
