In this article, VeryPDF will introduce one method about change tiff file format to png and add mirror effect by command line. And this method also can be used to change other image file formats like JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, PCX, TGA, PBM, PNM, PPM files. Meanwhile during the conversion, you can also resize image width and height. As this is command line version software, you can also call it together with other applications like C#, VB, VC and others. In the following part, I will show you how to make it work.

What is mirror image effect?
A mirror image is a reflected duplication of an object that appears identical but reversed. As an optical effect it results from reflection off of substances such as a mirror or water. It is also a concept in geometry and can be used as a conceptualization process for 3-D structures(quoted from wiki).
Step 2. Convert Tiff to Png and add mirror effect
- When you run the conversion, please refer to the usage and examples.
- Usage: ocr2any.exe [options] <PDF-file> <Text-file>
- When you change image file formats and add mirror effect, please refer to the following command line templates.
ocr2any.exe -imageopt –mirror C:\in.tiff C:\out.png
By this command line, we can deskew and despeckle input image tiff file and then convert it to png and add mirror effect.
Please check the conversion effect from the following snapshot.
And here are more examples for your reference.
ocr2any.exe -imageopt -rotate 90 C:\in.png C:\out.tif

ocr2any.exe -threshold 240 C:\in.tif C:\out.bmp
ocr2any.exe -dither 0 C:\in.bmp C:\out.png
ocr2any.exe -dither 7 C:\in.bmp C:\out.png
ocr2any.exe -imageopt -resizewidth 800 -resizeheight 600 C:\in.gif C:\out.tga
ocr2any.exe -imageopt -flip C:\in.png C:\out.gif
ocr2any.exe -imageopt -mirror C:\in.tif C:\out.pcx
Related parameters:
-mirror : mirror the image horizontally
