Preview can't open TIFF produced by Kyocera 4550 Workstation

The TIFF output that the Kyocera 4550 workstation produces for scanned documents is not able to be opened in Preview or Pixelmator but it can be viewed in Windows Photo Viewer.
Here is a sample:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/77775927/Kyocera4550Scan.tif
This seems to indicate a problem with the interpretation of standards.
Can anyone determine if this file is somehow incorrect (ie Kyocera is responsible) or otherwise?

Kyocera have responded to our support ticket on this issue with the suggestion to change a setting:
>Kyocera is not limited to TIFF compression code 6. It is possible to change TIFF compression level.
>Go to System menu -> Common Settings -> Function Defaults -> Colour TIFF Compression on the device and change to TTN2
>When this option is selected TIFF will be created using compression code 7.
Unfortunately, compression code 7 is a form of JPEG which is lossy and there are no other choices available in the Kyocera settings.
Preview on MacOS X 10.8 can open TIFFs with compression code 7, however MacOS X 10.5.8 cannot.

  • I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

  • Can't open Tiff in Camera Raw CC

    I have checked the Camera Raw preferences to open jpgs and tiffs in Camera Raw.  I have the Bride CC preferences set to Bridge CC for jpgs and tiffs.
    I c n open jpgs in Camera Raw, but I can't open tiffs in Camera Raw.  I must be doing something wrong. 
    The settings for jpgs and tiffs in Windows file association are identical.
    The settings for jpgs and tiffs in Bridge preferences are identical.
    Yet, I can open jpgs in Camera Raw, and I can't open tiffs in Camera Raw.
    Any suggestions?

    Can you, from within Photoshop, choose File - Open As, then choose the TIFF file, and set the selector over on the right to Camera Raw?
    I know that you'd really like to set up to open them automatically through Camera Raw, but this could serve as a workaround.

  • Preview can't open jpegs

    After installing Leopard, Preview can't open jpegs. They only open in Elements for me. So how do we get Preview to do this again like we used to?

    Search the discussion board and you will find that if you changed the metadata information on your jpeg files (ie: used Lightroom), Leopard is unable to open those files regardless of the application you are using (Finder, preview, aperature, iPhoto). Looks like we have to wait for someone to come up with a patch to fix the issue. My guess Apple is going to do nothing about it and we will have to wait for Adobe to resolve the issue. At least in my case, Lightroom is what caused the issue. The photos still work fine in Tiger, but if I try to access them on my Leopard machine it just crashes.

  • Can't open tiff files in PSE8?

    In PSE4 I saved files as Tiff's, but now I can't open them in PSE8.  What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    If  simple_chi is using Preview, that means Mac, so no irfanview.
    If you do a Save As in Preview and save as tiff again, does that make a difference? Can PSE open them then?

  • Not enough memory (RAM) error. Can't open TIFF file.

    I can't open a 74MB TIFF file in CS5 photoshop.   I get error message: Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM). 
    I have 16GB of RAM and 55.5 GB of scratch disk.
    I am using my recently installed copy of Photoshop CS5 64bit on a virtual Windows7 machine running in Parallels on a recently bought MacBookPro. This software (now deactivated) has run successfully on an XP machine and has successfully open TIFF files of this sort before.
    I don't know whether this is relevant, but I can't update my copy of photoshop either. It downloads the updates, but will not install them.

    I have discovered that the problem is that the TIFF files I am tying to open are 32 bit files.  There are several references on the Internet to Photoshop not being able to open these files   These are output files produced by the astro-imaging software Deep Sky Stacker.  Within DSS  I can save the 32 bit TIFFs  as 16 bit files which photoshop CS5 can open fine.
    Does anyone know whether Photoshop CS5 can open 32 bit tiff files at all?  Would it help if I could update my version of Photoshop (see update problem above)?

  • Preview can't open all images in multiple selections...is this a bug?

    Note: "Open all files in one window" is selected in Preview preferences.
    This used to work fine in Leopard. Not complaining, might be a bug, but just want to verify. When I select multiple jpg images and double click, preview tends to open random number of images each time. all of them simply don't open up. Any idea what could be wrong?
    Neerav

    Are any of the jpegs downloaded from the Internet? If so, that is the problem. You'll get two Preview windows, one with, say 3 images, the second window with one. Do it again and you get one window with 4 images and the second window with a different additional one. Repeat. It's due to the Apple quarantine bit being set on downloaded files. Until it is removed by individually opening a jpeg you can't batch open all them. See here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2137399
    You can open a batch provided you use the Preview Open dialog box, rather than selecting in the Finder.

  • I can't open tiff in raw. I have opened the same files in raw in the past.

    Hi D Fosse (and everybody else) are you still there? You won't believe, but I am having the oposite problem! I have some tiff, and they have never been converted to PSD, and I can't open them in raw. Actually, they are scans from the lab. However, they have been in raw sometimes in the past, yes, and they are still tiff. Using your precious info I went to:
    Photoshop pref>file handling>prefer camera raw for jpeg and supported file, (I know, they are tiff, but just in case): CHECKED
    Bridge pref>thumbnails>pref adobe camera raw for tiff files: CHECKED
    Camera raw pref>always open jpeg tiff using camera raw: CHECKED
    But the magic didn't work.

    What version of Photoshop, Camera Raw & Bridge?
    From your description I suspect it's CS3 (since in CS4 the prefs are all now in Camera Raw)...
    If so, try purging the cache in Bridge and make sure the tiffs have no layers and are RGB files.

  • Preview can't open any pdf file

    PDF documents are greyed out in the open menu.
    Setting Preview as the "open this document with..." app in the get info window gives the message that "it's not known if this application can open Adobe PDF files"
    At the same time, Safari started crashing on being asked to open a PDF file.
    I've reinstalled Safari, grabbed Preview from a Time Machine backup from when it worked, reinstalled the developer tools in case they wrote over webkit, trashed all preferences and rebooted. No joy.
    I looked at the document types list in Preview's info.plist and the entry for com.adobe.pdf is in there. I've opened an eps file in Preview and saved it as a pdf; I can then open that pdf in Acrobat, but not in Preview (even though it appears in the "recent documents" list.)
    What am I missing?

    Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists. If not, report back. If so, download and install the 10.6.3 COMBO update. If that doesn't fix the problem, reinstall SL, and if fixed, run Software Update until you're back to 10.6.3. If still no go, run this one-line Terminal command and restart:
    */System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*

  • Preview can't open my bank stat

    Can't open my bank stats with Safari or Preview. Phoned the bank and they told me to download Adobe reader. Would like to avoid that. Any hints?
    Claude

    If you do opt to download Adobe reader do it from the Adobe site - not from any second party including your bank.
    Adobe had an issue in 2013 where the Reader would run imbedded code when you opened a PDF.
    They announced the fix on their in Spring of 2013.
    In October of 2013 Adobe was hacked and the hackers took some source code.
    Are you running a virus checker that checks on opening?
    It may be the thing that is preventing you from opening the statement - because it has a virus or malware in it - or what seems to be same.
    I don't run Adobe reader, or Flash-player.

  • Preview won't open tiff file

    The scanner part of our Xerox printer/copier/scanner produces a tiff file that can not be opened by Preview (it does on Windows); does someone know a work-around for this, preferably a free and small conversion program (GraphicConverter does the job but isn't free) or even better: a CMM solution.

    Here's several freeware graphics apps that you might want to try.

  • Preview can't open any images

    Hi all,
    Suddenly Preview doesn't work with any images on my computer (stil works fine with PDF). The Preview window is always like this when I try to open any images:
    I had tried to remove all the preference files related to Preview under ~/Library/Preferences/, also used Disk Uitility to repair disk permissions but no luck.
    Can somebody help me? Thanks

    Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
    Restart holding the "shift" key.
    (Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
    If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and disable any third party login items. Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.

  • Help: Can't open TIFF in ACR from bridge. ACR not an "Open With" choice

    Hi,
    I have a TIFF file on my OS 10.4.11 desktop. I open CS3 Bridge and select the file ( A TIF from a scan generated in SilverFast AI Studio) I right click the file and the drop-down menu shows me CS3 as an "Open With" choice but I do not see ACR as a choice. I choose CS3 and it opens in CS3. As I have TIFF and JPEG files as a default for ACR when I choose a JPG and CS3 it opens in ACR... why not this TIFF? Could it be that as it was scanned with a bit depth of 48 ACR can not interpret it?
    How can I add ACR as a choice in "Open With" so that when I right click any image file on my Mac desktop I see ACR as a choice?

    I actually slightly prefer the NikonScan software to Silverfast's so I only use NikonScan with my Coolscan and scan to 14-bit RGB Tiffs.
    For the larger format film, I use Silverfast with the Epson 4990 and do the same thing.
    Then I open the resulting Tiffs in ACR 4.4.1 (hosted by Bridge) to do any preliminary color- and tone- corrections before proceeding to Photoshop.
    I have not found a need for HDR when working from Color NEGATIVE film (but I do remove the ridiculous Shadow/HL clipping that these scanner software manufacturers seem to program into their default settings!) and I don't use "slide" film.

  • Preview can't open with the first click on a .pdf file

    My preview has been acting up. When I double click on a .pdf file Preview starts up but the contents of the file are not displayed. Then when I double click on the file icon again, the file gets opened. Some files never open, but when I restart Preview they open (in the same way as above).
    Also, when I select some of the menu items from Preview nothing happens (such as "About Preview".
    I reloaded all of OSX 10.4.4, no change, fixed permissions, no change,
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Artur

    I did an "archive and keep settings" reinstall, so that I wouldn't lose all my info. Calculating how much time it would be to get back everything I had (configs, files, programs...) I would rather have a bad Preview than go through an erase and install...

  • Preview crashes when opening PDF produced by PDF995 software

    I have a PDF from a friend that crashes on Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Preview (v5.0.1). Preview on 10.5.8 does not crash, nor does Acrobat Reader on either OS. We have duplicated the crash on 3 Macs running 10.6.2.
    Application Specific Information:
    * error for object 0x119f48cd8: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.
    This was part of a several page crash log, automatically sent to Apple developers.
    The PDF was created using PDF995 http://pdf995.com software, using a recent version, and then the latest version, of the print driver and convert. The PDF is created from a Microsoft Publisher (Office XP) document using the “print to” function. The system creating it is Vista home premium 32 bit with all the latest updates from Microsoft. [email protected] insists that this is an Apple problem. Apple phone support could find nothing about it in their knowledge base. Ideas?

    Could you provide a sample PDF file? You can always file a bug report
