Tiff image problem Options

[Guest_Anonymous_*]

Hi,

I've always been very impressed by PMview's broad abilities, so I was very surprised when I came across TIFF files that it cannot read or open. I have just created some color TIFF files in a document management program called Docuxplorer (from scans), and when I went to open them, PMVIEW said "ambiguous manufacturer dependent old JPEG compression not supported". Since it is a TIFF, with a tif extension, not sure why PMview thinks it's a jpeg. I have no problem reading b&w Tiffs produced by this program, but the color ones seem to make PMview choke. The TIFF files open fine in Microsoft Office Document Imaging program, so they aren't corrupt.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
