Details

This action sets the compression type of the TIFF that is output from the action ConvertToTIFF. Typically Group 4 compression is used for performing recognition on images.

All of these possible output formats may not be supported by other image processing actions. If this action is not called, Group 4 compression will be used.

Example:
SetTiffCompression("3")
ConvertToTIFF()
