How to convert CALS to TIF
Converting CALS to TIF is very easy with Image Converter Plus. In Windows Explorer, select a CALS image and click your right mouse button. In the context menu, select Convert to submenu and click Custom convert line.
The list will already contain images selected from Windows Explorer.
To add other files, press Add image button and select some more files in CALS format to be converted to TIF. Select TIF format as target format.
Expand "Save images in TIF format" group and adjust any needed settings. Available color depth is from 1 to 32 bits. Besides adjusting color settings, you can also select a compression algorithm:
- CCITT RLE (for 1 bpp only)
- CCITT Fax3 (for 1 bpp only)
- CCITT Fax4 (for 1 bpp only)
- LZW
- FLATE

Besides color depth, you can also select conversion type:
- separate file – all images, single-page as well as multipage, will be saved as separate single-page files.
- multipage file – all converted images will be included into one separate file. Page numbers are assigned according to the file list.
- as is – all images will be saved according to the structure of source files.
- add pages to file – converted images are added to the specified file. If the file doesn’t exist, it will be created.
"more>>" link expands to a professional set of TIF parameters. You won’t need this section for daily usage:
-
Color quantization reduces the number of distinct colors used in an image while preserving visual image quality.
-
Dither is a form of noise, or 'erroneous' signal or data which is added to sample data to minimize quantization error.
-
Extra TIF settings feature saving EXIF and IPTC information. EXIF and IPTC are usually present in photos created with digital photo cameras.
Press "Start" to begin conversion.
