I have two channel image data that I want to store as real. I have done the straightforward thing and set samples per pixel=2, SAMPLEFORMAT_IEEEFP, PLANARCONFIG_CONTIG. The tiff readers I am using complain about it being a bad file. So is the problem the tiff readers? Or do I not understand all there is to making two channel tiff files?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Jim,

It would be helpful to see a tiffinfo report on the file to know if there is anything out of place, but it sounds ok.

However, this is a TIFF configuration that is unlikely to be supported by many "picture oriented" TIFF viewers. TIFF is very flexible, but many applications supporting TIFF do not support the full variety of configuration possibilities. This will count as an awkward one for many viewers.

Best regards,
