I have several vintage 1990 tiff pictures from an old Mustek hand scanner that I have not been able to find a converter for. Tried XnView also without any luck. Images come back wavy and distorted. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Hi Walt!

I'm wondering if they could be TIFF tiled pyramidal jpeg images. According to the Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats “TIFF 6.0 introduced the concept of tiled, rather than stripped, bitmapped data”, but Adobe's official TIFF 6.0 Specification wasn't released until 1992.

I would love to put an example file up but at 60meg I dont want it to be availiable to the public. Is there a direct email address that I can send a link to?

Any idea's
Could you send me a sample? TIFF in tile are not supported

This mail address should be used when sending sample files to the author of XnView.
