Jim Slade Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Attached is a TIFF file that apparently has issues. If I try to open it in PHOTO I get "Failed to Open File The file type is not supported." However, going to to the generally inferior photo program from the company in San Jose that likes to sodomize pigeons—I mean customers— I get: "The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile is invalid. Ignoring the profile." From there I can manipulate the image—but I feel dirty afterwards. It would be an improvement if Photo could handle such an issue in a TIFF file. Iowa Hull Damage 14.tif Quote

Iowa Hull Damage 14.tif 7.83 MB · 7 downloads Would you mind changing the thread title to „Photo does not open damaged tiff file“, and move it to the feedback section? I would rate this as expected, not a bug. Photo is no repair tool for damaged / non standard compliant files.

Jim Slade Posted April 7, 2022 Author Posted April 7, 2022 But if PhotoSh&* reads it and Photo does not, which is the superior product in that regard? There are all kinds of things that can be read rationally that do not strictly conform. Think of the JPEG file format morass. Strict conformance on output does not require strict conformance on input. Quote

Well, but do you see the difference between a bug and a feature request? a car breaking during normal driving: bug a Ferrari missing a tow hinge for your trailer: feature request (even if a SUV has it standard) Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | MBP M3 Windows 11 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 | Dell 27“ 4K iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

Let me just add: if Serif has declared somewhere that APhoto will be able to open a TIFF file with the mentioned error and will not open it - then this is an bug that should be corrected. If it has not been declared anywhere, then it is a proposal for new/added functionality.
