| 181148 | 2003-10-07 10:07:00 | I have received a (legitimate) tif file which I can't open. What is normally used to open a tif file. Thanks for your help |

| 181150 | 2003-10-07 19:11:00 | Windows (Kodak) Imaging will open TIFF files but if it has been opened or created in an (much) earlier or later version than you have on your comp and that version has taken ownership you can have difficulties opening it with other programs especially if you want to edit the file. I don't know why this is, but it has happened to me before while tranferring tif's from a win98 to win2k machine. You could try Irfanview which will open and/or convert almost any type of grahics file including TIFF's get it Here (http://www.irfanview.com). If that doesn't work it's probably corrupted as G.F says, check with the sender or have them convert to a JPEG which will have the advantage of being a smaller file. Cheers Murray P |
