Also, the TIFF related stuff is in a library, used by both UFRAW and GIMP, so it if it is something else it may not actually be related to the specifics of either of these programs!
doesn't matter where the problem is.
at the end of the day, he can't open a standard image format.
Are you actually that impaired?
Misconfigured software is not unusual for new users on the first try.
why should anyone have to configure something just to open a standard format file??
that's what i mean by jumping through hoops.
It's writing the output from UFRAW to be in a format that GIMP reads.
GIMP, as it happens, reads a long list of standard format files, but like all programs it doesn't support everything. Will Photoshop open XCF files correctly? Will it open a TIFF with layers, with 14 bit depth, with any of the odd greyscale formats that TIFF can support? I'm sure that we can find something that your favorite editors cannot open properly. For years a lot of programs couldn't deal with PNG, 12 bit JPEGs, and a few other standardized JPEG options. Whoop dee doo.
In fact I'm right. As usual you can't get past your nose.nospamFloyd L. DavidsonnospambdFloyd L. Davidson
convert image1.tif -depth 8 -type truecolor -density 300 -units pixelsperinch newimage1.tif
If that works, try it again without the "-density 300 -units pixelsperinch" options.
didn't someone say there were no hoops to jump through??
sure looks like hoops to me.
Incidentally, all of that works exactly the same way on an OSX or MS-WINDOWS machine.
incidentally, you are wrong *again*.
none of that is necessary on a mac or windows system.It works *exactly* the same on all three OS's. It has nothing to do with the OS. It has everything to do with changing one default option in UFRAW, which is the same on all three OS's.
