Hi all, have a problem opening TIFF files in PhotoShop CS. Does anyone know how to do it, it would be a great help, have a disk with TIFF files on it and tried to open them using both Photoshop and Imageready with no luck all I get is a blank. Do I have to change preferences? I need these files for work and I am just stuck.
Thanks

Caia,

hi there, you could try changing the extension to JPG/JPEG and seeing if it helps.. but I have no idea why photoshop wont open your tiff files - could they be corrupt?


sorry couldn't be of more help...

Were they made in Photoshop CS?? If not then that might just be the problem. CS has a few compatibilty issues with formats. I have a lot of files made in PS7 in my system and more than half of them can't be opened in CS. Perhaps that's the reason for your TIFF dilema!

If not... then like your TIFF's... I'm blank!!

I have found that Photoshop often has problems with TIFF images. Many programs don't follow the TIFF standard as closely as PhotoShop and it won't open an image unless it adheres strictly to the standard.

I believe PaintShop Pro has a batch mode capability and it is much better at opening TIFFs than Photoshop. Download a copy of PaintShop and us it to convert your images to another format that Photoshop can read.
