Oops, sorry, I didn't read carefully enough the first time. The older MS
Imaging application probably won't handle JPEG compressed TIFF files very
well either, as JPEG compression in TIFF is a relatively recent invention.
But on the other hand, the older Imaging application will properly handle
most other valid TIFF image compression types, including LZW.

It's just a bug in the current M$ application. However, one suggestion
might be to use the older Microsoft/Kodak/Wang Imaging application that
came with Windows 2000 and previous versions and did not include this same
problem.

Subject: [Tiff] Microsoft Image Viewer
When I use libtiff to create a jpeg compressed tiff it can not be viewed
by Microsoft image viewer (or any other Microsoft product). The image
appears as a black image of the correct height and width. Also
Microsoft image viewer throws an error that says it is an invalid image.
The tiff can be opened by other image viewers just not Microsoft ones.
Does anyone have any information on this problem and even possibly a
work around?
Thanks,
Jonathan
