Error reading .tif file

Post by appyface »

Using vesion 1.98.2 on Win7 Pro SP1 64-bit.

XnView gives warning (error?) pop-up when opening multi-page tif files of faxes created by a Brother MFC-9320CW fax machine:
Error reading the file <filename.tif>

Other programs are able to open and display all pages without giving error, such as Windows Photo Viewer, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Gimp, Paint (only first page, I don't think it has multi-page support), and the image viewer software that comes with the fax machine.

XnView is able to open multi-page tif files created by other programs without error.

I checked XnView's "file properties" against Windows Explorer's "file properties" and see only one difference: XnView shows compression as "CCITT Group 3", Windows shows compression as "CCITT T.4".

Please advise? Thank you and regards,

Hello Pierre,

I've just sent an example TIF file to the email address specified in the contact forum post.

Please let me know if you do not receive it or if you have any problems with the attachment.

Thank you and regards,
