It would be interesting to seen this TsrFile.tiff. Don't send it to the mailing list, that's another thing that is generally not very appreciated. You can either - send it to me, privatly, at joris.at.lebbeke@skynet.be - or use tiffinfo on it, another tool included in LibTiff, to dump basic information and tagsets to text and include that in a response, that should give us a good idea already - or if you're using Windows, you could also download my free TIFF Tag Viewer application. It includes a 'copy tags to clipboard' functionality, that you can use to next paste a dump similar to tiffinfo in a response I can't be sure, but I think that there's something strange with this TsrFile.tiff (RGB with 1 samples per pixel? Indexed perhaps, the specification supplement 1 way?), and that is most probably the cause of this problem.
