Tiff image - color distortion
Hi I am including Tiff image in Pdf output.
The problem is that it is not rendering the image correctly. For example,
the original Tiff image has much stronger contrast (i.e. some very dark
sections, some very light sections), whilst the pdf output image appears
more greyish and noisy.
Is this a known issue?
Also I looked here:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/graphics.html#tiff
"FOP can embed TIFF images without decompression into PDF, PostScript and
AFP if they have either CCITT T.4, CCITT T.6, or JPEG compression.
Otherwise, a TIFF-capable Image I/O codec is necessary for decoding the
image.
There may be some limitation concerning images in the CMYK color space."
Could someone explain the meaning of those sentences. Thanks.

I think these words in documentation give an answer why your tiff images
are uncompressing by fop image loader:
"
TIFF
FOP can embed TIFF images without decompression into PDF, PostScript and
AFP if they have either CCITT T.4, CCITT T.6, or JPEG compression.
Otherwise, a TIFF-capable Image I/O codec is necessary for decoding the
image.
There may be some limitation concerning images in the CMYK color space.
"
So i think, the best way to serve your problem is converting your tiff
images to appropriate format (what documentation tells) before using it
in fop.
Hope this help you.
Have a nice day!

I tried both removing <image-loading> as well as just keeping the second
line. It did not have an observable effect.
Based on these cases, the conclusion appears to be that if I have an RGB
tiff image, the PDF renderer will work fine, but if non-RGB is used (16-bit
in my case), then it will not render correctly in pdf output.
=== ADDITIONS ===
I tried one last variant, version [4], save as from ImageJ with RGB
selected. That displays correctly in the pdf output.
4. Tiff data when LeadTools tiff image (from step 1.) is opened in ImageJ,
then choose type > RGB, then Save as.
SubFileType (1 Long): Zero
ImageWidth (1 Long): 1396
ImageLength (1 Long): 460

Remove the <image-loading> section from fop.xconf, or at least the first
line (the second line can stay and may even be necessary). The way you have
it you may be giving preference to ImageLoaderImageIO (which is indeed the
"default" unless there is a native) over the twelvemonkeys image loader.

The following is the image data, obtained with
http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/astifftagviewer.html
==========================================
PART A. Tiff data
1. Original tiff data of Tiff image exported from LeadTools
SubFileType (1 Long): Zero
ImageWidth (1 Long): 1396
ImageLength (1 Long): 460
BitsPerSample (1 Short): 16
Compression (1 Short): Uncompressed
Photometric (1 Short): MinIsBlack

RowsPerStrip (1 Long): 375
StripByteCounts (2 Long): 1047000, 237320
PlanarConfig (1 Short): Contig
PageNumber (2 Short): 0, 0
2. Tiff data when LeadTools image is opened in Paint.NET, then did Save as
in Paint.NET
SubFileType (1 Long): Zero
ImageWidth (1 Long): 1396
ImageLength (1 Long): 460
BitsPerSample (4 Short): 8, 8, 8, 8
Compression (1 Short): LZW
Photometric (1 Short): RGB
StripOffsets (1 Long): 8
SamplesPerPixel (1 Short): 4
RowsPerStrip (1 Long): 460
StripByteCounts (1 Long): 1015503
XResolution (1 Rational): 96
YResolution (1 Rational): 96
PlanarConfig (1 Short): Contig
ResolutionUnit (1 Short): Inch
PageNumber (2 Short): 0, 0
Software (18 ASCII): Paint.NET v3.5.10
Predictor (1 Short): 2
ExtraSamples (1 Short): 2
3. Tiff data when LeadTools image is opened in ImageJ, then did Save as
from Image J.
SubFileType (1 Long): Zero
ImageWidth (1 Long): 1396
ImageLength (1 Long): 460
BitsPerSample (1 Short): 16
Photometric (1 Short): MinIsBlack
ImageDescription (34 ASCII): ImageJ=1.47v min=0.0 max=65535.0
StripOffsets (1 Long): 168
SamplesPerPixel (1 Short): 1
RowsPerStrip (1 Short): 460
StripByteCounts (1 Long): 1284320
===============================
PART B. Effects
Within the Windows image viewer program, all those images appear the same.
However, when generating pdf with FOP, this is what happens:
* Image [1] renders incorrectly
* Image [2] renders correctly *****
* Image [3] renders incorrectly
Also I have these settings:
<image-loading>
<penalty value="-1000"
class="org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.loader.impl.imageio.ImageLoaderImageIO"/>
<penalty value="INFINITE"
class="org.apache.xmlgraphics.image.loader.impl.ImageLoaderRawCCITTFax"/>
</image-loading>
So this means it's using the default Java image loader as far as I know.

If you can share the image send it to this mailing list. Otherwise you can
send it to me and I can take a look. It is possible that the default image
loader is still being used, or something else is at play, but we will need
the image to check.

Re: Tiff image - color distortion
Posted by Valentina <va...@tp.rs>.
I compiled the library.
Inside the lib directory, I now have the following:
avalon-framework
batik-all
commons-io
commons-logging
seralizer
twelvemonkeys-common-image
twelvemonkeys-common-io
twelvemonkeys-common-lang
twelvemonkeys-imageio-core
twelvemonkeys-imageio-jpeg
twelvemonkeys-imageio-metadata
twelvemonkeys-common-image
twelvemonkeys-common-io
twelvemonkeys-common-tiff
xalan
xercesImpl
xml-apis
xml-apis-ext
xmlgraphics-commons
I run the command fop template.fo report.pdf
I do not see difference before/after twelvemonkeys was added.
Was there anything else that I should have done?

TIFF can use JPEG compression, so it is likely that the issue is with JPEG
image handling even though it is a TIFF. But TwelveMonkeys also has an
imageio-tiff component so you can try both. Get the source from github,
build it (mvn clean install, I think) and place the needed jars in the FOP
lib directory. The fop.xconf does not need to be modified.

That is what I would like to do ---- to preserving the original image.
Just to clarify, you mentioned JDK JPEG image handling, is that what needs
to be used for Tiff image handling (in my report I have just Tiff images),
and if so, do any settings need to modified in the fop.xconf file?

Two questions about CMYK on the same day!
The JDK JPEG image handling functions cannot handle CMYK. If the images
include a color profile then FOP can convert the images to RGB. To get FOP
generate a PDF with images that preserve the CMYK colors you need to use a
ImageIO library like TwelveMonkeys. Get it, compile it and place the JPEG
related jar in the FOP lib directory (note that you will also need to add
some of the core jars).

I'll try to find a suitable color profile.
In the meantime, a related question is whether it is possible to embed
images with pdf:embedded-file (displaying image, rather than link), to
bypass any effects in rendering, i.e. to render a tiff image as-is?

Hi!
I do not agree with the colors, but these setting may can help for you:
"Another (optional) setting specific to the PDF Renderer is an output color
profile, an ICC color profile which indicates the target color space the
PDF file is generated for. This setting is mainly used in conjunction with
the PDF/X <http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/pdfx.html> feature. An
example:
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<filterList...
<output-profile>C:\FOP\Color\EuropeISOCoatedFOGRA27.icc</output-profile>
<fonts....
</renderer>"

I had tried the following:
* Setting resolution to 96
* Trying out different values of scaling-method for fo:external-graphic
Configuration pages describe settings for tiff image renderer, but I assume
all those would NOT be used in my case, only pdf renderer...

Additional information - the input tiff image has the following properties:
Horizontal resolution: 96dpi
Vertical resolution: 96dpi
Bit depth: 16
Compression: Uncompressed
The image is grayscale type, there's no color.
Are there any special settings which should be applied to make it render
correctly in a pdf report?
