I can understand computing and auto-correcting tile sizes when there's no compression. However, Thomas indicated both tile sizes and offsets are 0. Can Photoshop handle that case, or did you not read the part where it says offsets too are 0? If the first is the case, would you mind giving us some indication of how Photoshop proceeds in guessing the location of the tiles, so as to establish a non-official recommended way to guess these, as it seems to me any such guess in this case is either very arbitrary, yielding garbage in many cases, and/or works from known behaviour of particular writer implementations?
