TIFF : Bad bits per sample!

Post by w64bit »

When I try to view some TIF files (created with a large format scanner) with 2.49.4 I receive the error:
TIFF : Bad bits per sample!
1. How can I fix these files without losing the quality?
2. How can I find other TIF files with the same problem (an automatic/search method)?
Thank you

2.49.3 it's OK.
I think that the problem it's related to TIFF Security vulnerability fix in 2.49.4.

I noticed also that if you browse the folder containing these type of files, they are briefly displayed in the right pane and after that they disappear.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
