2005.02.21 00:31 "problem viewing tiff-file", by Michel Brabants
Heya,
I was scanning a picture in windows to the tif-format. In windows there
is a thumbnail that shows the picture ok. I also think an icc-profile is
in the picture. I can't scan the picture at this resoluation under linux
with sane. I would like to scan to tif since it puts an icc-profile in
the file then and if I want to scan at 48 bits/pixel, I think that tiff
is my only choice with the software I'm using. I'm trying to convert the
picture to png under linux (and hoping to also put the icc-profile in
the png), but it seems libtiff (I suppose) can't display it correctly
and the conversion to png (using imagemagick's convert) also doesn't work.
When I try to view the original image, only a part of the image is
displayed and there is an error message when I request info about the
original tif-fil(output of tiffinfo):
bompa001.tif: Warning, incorrect count for field "MinSampleValue" (1,
expecting 3); tag ignored.
bompa001.tif: Warning, incorrect count for field "MaxSampleValue" (1,
expecting 3); tag ignored.

Thanks,
