XnView Software

Thanks Pierre - I confirm the bug is fixed.

Yes - I included a link. When I first started this thread I tried to attach an image but there was a message indicating some quote or other site problem prevented me from doing so.

I think I replied by private message - but don't 100% understand the system as it says it is "Sent" but still seems to be in the Outbox. Please let me know if you didn't get it.

XnView: MP 1.01 64bits (Aug 8 2022)
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit

Cannot properly render 16 bit TIFF files

Effect: Image displays like a negative with incorrect pallette

To reproduce:
1. Double-click a 16 bit b/w TIFF file (from Epson Scan 2)

Expected behaviour: In previous version 1.00.0 it displayed ...

Thanks - but I don't see that option in the gui.

In the reduction to binary there is a "Binary (Floyd Steinberg)", and in the Image - "Convert to colours..." "Dithering - Floyd Steindberg" (which also seems to be spelt incorrectly).
These don't help in reducing file sizes because random dithering ...

OK - I experimented with the Clear Type setting and here are my discoveries:
(Environment: Windows 7 Pro x64, NVIDIA Quadro 6000)

Firstly, Windows 7 is a bit tricky about turning Clear Type off.
Once you have opened the "Adjust Clear Type text"/"Clear Type Text Tuner" panel and unchecked it, the ...

Although the input appears to have only 10 distinct colours, the number of colours is numerous because anti-aliasing was applied by the program that generated the graphic (I believe the total number of colours is 208). Effectively what I am seeking to do is remove the anti-aliasing and get back to ...

My objective is to reduce the number of colours as much as possible without significantly changing the appearance of the graphic.
What this achieves is a reduction in size of the file.
I like to use 'lossless' PNG to do this
The graphics I am reducing is essentially a kind of line art or cartoon ...

I am wondering what happened to the "Convert to Colours" with Adaptive palette.

Is the "None" option equivalent? If so then I suppose the algorithm doesn't work as well for me as I think it used to as white backgrounds often get changed to a pale colour (I would have thought when white was the ...

2. Paste into OneNote

1. Capture section of Screen using OneNote screen grabber
2. Import Clipboard to XnView
3. Copy image in XnView
4. Paste into OneNote

I like the latter additional ...

Found a number of TIFF files which XnView won't open while other viewers do (BlueView, Windows Photo Viewer, Paint etc.)
The error I get from XnView is "Not enough memory" but the files are much small than others I regularly open and my workstation has 96GB of RAM (Win7 Pro 64bit).
The images are 8 ...

I sent you a private message because I don't have time to properly secure my website!

The workaround I mentioned (for the benefit of others) is to specify a visual when launching xnview (with the disadvantage that everything becomes dithered to a 256 colour palette):

% xnview -visualid 0x20

So it ...

Anyone know the cure for this?

I am running Solaris 8 with CDE on Sun Blade 2000

I played around for a while with the application defaults (had to create the directory the installation tries to put them in and create the env var) but nothing seems to change it.
