What Kind of Tif is this? From Abbyy FineReader 8

Hi
I need to manipulate Scanns after FineReader saved them as a special Tif with 3 Frames. But no Program I know can read these Tifs...
Here an example:

Any Idea? (Dont lose too much time)
Thanks!

Hello !
• Indeed XnView displays only the first frame, and doesn't open the others…
- The same with "The Gimp" … The best I could obtain is with "Imagine",
originally a free plugin for Total Commander (has a standalone version too…).
- I get this :
————
- No more, sorry… The third frame is black.

I can confirm Clo's observation. The 2nd frame is either corrupted or blank, but the 1st and 3rd seem to be OK.
Using XnView, you could extract those frames/pages into separate images:
- Tools » Multipage file » Extract All Into...
You'll probably get a warning message (“TIFF : Bad data compression algorithm !”), but the extracted first and last frame should be just fine.
Method #2:
Jump to a specific frame, copy it to the clipboard (
Ctrl+C) and then paste it into an image editor.
- View » Page » Last (Shift+End) / First (Shift+Home)
No page---

Hello !
• There is a snag with XnView : Despite the "
Next page" button is available, it doesn't work !
- You don't get the next page !
- With "
Extract all to…", I get only the two frames I show above, and like you say,
I get the error message (probably for the faulty missing frame)

Twisted format…

Thanks for your efforts. I think this is no regular Tiff-format
FineReader 8 (
http://www.abbyy.com/finereader8/?param=45596) can import this Tiff (and all similar) without problem. From there it can be exportet (after some manual work for each single picture) to a regular jpg.
Unfortunately FineReader-Support was not able to tell me more about this format...

Hello !
- You are welcome !
- When trying to open the pic with "The Gimp", I got a very detailled error message
(not faulty pic, but not supported) with the exact type of file…

Thanks Clo for your Help!
I'm now searching a Program which is able to convert Tiff with PlanarConfiguration=2 ... but this format is not well known...
