Hi Dave,

The main issue you are having is using LoadFromFile(..., 0). This loads all the pages in memory, which is ok for small multipage files.

For match processing, I would use a TTiffGraphic directly, and not the TImageScrollBox as it takes more resources.

I would create a TFileStream on your tif file, then use TTiffGraphic.GetImageCount to get the number of images. Then use the ImageToLoad property and LoadFromStream method, and only load one image at a time. In your loop then just call TiffGraphic.SaveToFile for each image.

This should make things much faster.

Best regards,

Michel
