Sometimes the resolution tag in an input image is missing or zero. In that case ELAN Converter™ has to use a valid resolution number to replace the missing or invalid value. Specify the default resolution values for black & white and grayscale/color images. Usually black & white images are 300, 400 or 600 DPI, and color images are 200 DPI, but there is no strict limitation regarding this number.

TIFF files have two notorious tags, the Orientation tag, and the Photometric Interpretation tag. Some imaging applications interpret and use these tags, while others don't. If your images have the wrong orientation (turned 90 or 180 degrees or mirrored or flipped), toggle the Use Orientation tag option and try to convert again. If your images show up inverted (white text on black background), toggle the Use Photometric Interpretation option and they should look normal. Sometimes the TIFF image itself contains instructions to invert or rotate the image, and it is not needed to be performed. On the other hand, sometimes you want to perform these operations, but it's hard to tell without the help of the user of ELAN Converter™. Note that this only happens if you are opening existing files. If you use an ELAN product to scan images, you will never have this issue.
