LizardTech MrSID .SID Import Automation Options

 

Since the Import Options dialog is not displayed when the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script. The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various import options. A typical example would be:

 

 "Scale=16"

 

This would reduce the scale of the image to 1/16th .

 

Option

Action

Default

Description

Scale

1 = 1/1 (uses most memory, best quality)

2 = 1/2

4 = 1/4

8 = 1/8

16 = 1/16

32 = 1/32 (uses least memory, lowest quality

1

Since some images can be extremely large once expanded into memory, the import filter allows the image to be reduced in dimensions by 1/2 to 1/32 of the original size.
