"This picture will beconverted to RGB with 8 bit per compone

Post by Peter2 »

I have a multipage TIFF with these properties.
xnview_tiff_properties.png
xnview_tiff_properties.png (19.8 KiB) Viewed 932 times
Opening the file displays this:
Xnview_convert_color.png
Xnview_convert_color.png (5.5 KiB) Viewed 932 times
Why?

Hi Peter (-:

The color space of your TIFF file is YCbCr. XnView has to convert the image to RGB in order to display it.
[url=http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/support.html]TIFF 6.0 Specification Coverage[/url] » Class Y for YCbCr images wrote:SamplesPerPixel = 3
BitsPerSample = <8,8,8>
PlanarConfiguration = 1, 2
Compression = 1 (none), 5 (LZW), 7 (JPEG)
PhotometricInterpretation = 6 (YCbCr)
YCbCrCoefficients, YCbCrSubsampling, YCbCrPositioning
