TIFF file problems, appears as four separate images in digikam

Chris Green
I relaise that TIFF can present problems because of its many
variations.

I'm scanning some B&W negatives with my Epson V700 using the Epson
software and saving as TIFF.  When I open the file in digikam I see
four little pictures side by side with a row of tiny colured dots
between each (which are red, green and probably blue).  It looks as if
digikam is seeing the separate channel scans as separate pictures.

Photoshop Elements understands the TIFF OK.

I've tried the only option in the scanning software, changing from
Windows to Mac byte order but that had no effect at all.

Chris,

I have fixed a bug recently in digiKam core about tiff loader.

Can you send me a tiff file to test on my computer ? Thanks in advance

OK, the last one I did was 29Mb so I'll do a lower resolution one
before I send it!

Hi,

DigiKam is known to fail reading grayscale TIFF images. There is a bug report
on it on bko. Try scanning to full colour and convert to grayscale PNG or
JPG. That should work fine.
