Dear readers of this list, currently I am trying Pixel, an image manipulation application by Pavel Kanzelsberger (http://www.kanzelsberger.com) available for all major platforms. I exported a Pixel image as a tiff-image using that application; you can see the file at http://www.linopus.de/debian/pixeltest.tif However, on Debian Sarge GNU/Linux using libtiff 3.7.2 pixeltest.tif is not rendered correctly in applications using libtiff (The Gimp, Scribus, Konqueror etc.). For the incorrect rendering see a screenshot at http://www.linopus.de/debian/pixeltest-konqueror.png. It is rendered correctly, however, on the same system by XnView (which, as far as I now, does use its own libraries). Additionally, pixeltest.tif is rendered correctly by Adobe PhotoShop 6 and Deneba Canvas 9 on a Windows system. Therefore I am inclined to believe that libtiff is the reason for the incorrect rendering. If this is a known issue I would like to know if there is a workaround, if not, I would like to report it as a bug. Yours sincerely Tobias Hilbricht -- Dr. Tobias Hilbricht Linopus Satz und Grafik www.linopus.de
