Hello.

Error opening the file <BOEMbathyE_m.tif>
Any ideas?

Thank you.

Looking at the file size of the TIFFs on the page you link to, a possible reason that they can't be opened might be that their pixel dimensions when opened require more ram than can be addressed by a 32-bit Windows application.

You might try again using the XnView MP 64-bit version...
