1999.12.08 15:22 "Re: Testing: [was: Test Adobe ZIP TIFF needed]", by Tom Kacvinsky
Ah yes, that would explain some of the problems I am having. I believe that PhotoShop (and now the gimp) do not support other color spaces. I get "Unknown photmetric interpretation num: 6" errors messages. The files that casue this ar YCbCr files. I am going to try the xtiff viwer tht comes with libtiff and see if I have any joy there. And it has been suggested that Itry ImageMagick. I'll give that a go last. After compiling the gimp last night, I am not up to another "big" compile.
