Error messages and Google: my favorite combo. To summarize: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The TIFF file format permits programs to include information |
| 25 |
which only that program understands. TIFF files produced by |
| 26 |
programs that do this are not always readable by other programs. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
and |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
End result: if you get your hands on one of these "old style |
| 31 |
jpeg in tiff" files, you're pretty much out of luck. You'll have |
| 32 |
to negotiate with the file supplier to provide it in a different |
| 33 |
format. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Hope this helps. |
