Corrupt tiff file

Morning all, I get this error when trying to open a layered tiff file in photoshop, I was working on it fine yesterday, but today it can't open it
I have tried changing the file type and this does nothing either....
please help

Either the file is really corrupt, or you have the wrong file extension on the file.

Unsupported or Corrupt tiff file in Premier Pro CS4

I keep receiving a message: file is unsupported or corrupt when trying to do an import into Premier Pro CS4. I can open the file in windows photo viewer, Photoshop CS4 and other applications with no problem. I tried saving the file as a jpeg and then imported it into Premier Pro but the preview screen is black. Has anyone ever had this happen?It looks as though the only problem exists in Premier Pro.

Joe,
I've seen this with image files, that have improperly formed headers. It most often happens with JPEG's, and often PS cannot open these, and will throw similar errors. For those, I just open the file in another program, one not so strict, and do a Save_As from that program. Then, PS can open the new one.
I'd look into what is in your TIFF. Is it Layered, does it have Alpha Channels, and/or Paths. Is it RGB (CMYK will NOT work)? Is it 16-bit, or 8-bit? Those are just some of the possible problems. In PS, I would check the Color Mode, the Bit-depth, Flatten, Delete all Paths and Alpha Channels. If you need the Layers, or the Alpha Channels, then try doing a Save_As .PSD, and try again.
Remember, no 16-bit/32-bit and no CMYK - 8-bit RGB only.
Good luck,
Hunt

Corrupt TIFF files!

I have imported several hundred multi-layered .TIF files into LR using the option to automatically write meta-data changes into the XMP file. When the import completes the modified time on each file is set to the 'import' time even though I told it not to assign any meta-data or keywords. When I try to open any of the images in PS it displays an error:
"Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered."
Anyone else seen this or have any suggestions? (it goes without saying, you better have back-ups before importing into LR)

Can't open TIFF file. Probably the file is corrupted.

Hello,
I have a batch of TIFF files that I am trying to open but when I do, Photoshop says "Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing the TIFF file." I assume the files are corrupt, so I was just wondering how would I do about to fix them. I used PixRecovery but that wasn't that good because I couldn't repair them in as a batch and since I have more than 400 files, I don't have the time to do them one by one. Please help. Much appreciated.

There could be some type of compression used on them that PS doesn't like. I know some geospatial imagery is tiff - jpg compressed and needs some other software help in order to convert to a readable form. Maybe post an image?

Tiff files are recognized as raw files

A large number of my tiff files are being recognized by Photoshop and Lightroom as raw files. They open in Camera Raw with +50 brightness and +25 contrast.
It has occurred in tiff files that I made by 1) scanning film 2) taken with Canon 10D 3) taken with Canon 20D 4) taken with Canon 5D.
All I do is make a few adjustments in curves and hue/sat. Then I save as tiff. Everything seems fine... until all of sudden, a few minutes later, the thumbnail changes on it's own and suddenly turns very bright. Then when I click on the tiff, it opens in Camera Raw with the added brightness and contrast.
Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can prevent it? I thought it might be a bug my CS3 program but I just upgraded to CS4 and it's still happening.
Thank you.

Thanks again. Yes, these tiff files have an adjustment icon over the thumbnails in Bridge. I'm aware of the fact that I can clear the settings with edit>develop settings>clear settings. But I want to stop this from happening in the first place. I don't know how they are getting ACR adjustments since I didn't even open some of these files with ACR. Some of the these files came straight from the film scanner. I just scanned, saved as tiff...then all of a sudden they have ACR settings. I don't know why.
With my raw files...all I do is open the file in Photoshop, make a few adjustments, then save as tiff. All of a sudden, the images turn SUPER BRIGHT with the +50 brightness and +25 contrast.
I would like to email a few of these corrupted files to somebody who works for Adobe so they can look at them and help me figure this out. Do you know how I can do that?

How do I open old tiff files in PS CS5

How do I open old tiff files in PS CS5?

Opening old files in new versions should never be a problem - unless they have originally been saved in other applications that don't follow the file format specifications. Or the files are corrupted.
The other way around can sometimes be tricky because of new features not present in the old version.

EPS and Tiff Files are not open...

Dear All,
If we open the EPS or Tiff file in Illustrator CS3, we got the error message as in the screenshot which named as “Illustrator screenshot.jpg”.
If we open the EPS or Tiff file in Photoshop CS3, we got the error message as in the screenshot which named as “Photoshop screenshot.jpg”.
We unable to open the file both in Illustrator and Photoshop. Is there any other option to open the file? Please advice.
I’ve attached the images and screenshots for your better reference.
Thanks in advance.
Kumaran. P

These files are completely corrupt. I got the same error messages you did in Illustrator and Photoshop.
The EPS files look quite hopeless. (They do not remotely resemble EPS files when viewed in a text editor.) The TIFF file opened in IrfanView. I've resaved it as a JPEG and attached it here. You can see that it's truncated.
You didn't mention how you obtained the files.

Corrupted image files in Aperture 3.0.2

After upgrading to 3.0.2, I started working on some existing tiff files. Suddenly the image in the viewer was split into the top half from one image, and the bottom half from a different image in the same project! I tried to generate a new version from the master, and it would appear in the viewer, but when I try to make any adjustments to it, the new image was chopped in half as well, now just the top half, rather than the combination of two files. It seems to be related to the cropping tool somehow.
Basically the app is unusable at this point. Not good...

NOTE: 10.6.3 and 3.0.2 do NOT play well together. I had the same corruption issues. In addition, both benchmarking programs I use (Cinebench and XBench) recorded FAR SLOWER OPEN GL speeds when using 10.6.3. For example, the xBench rectangle rotation benchmark was 148 in 10.6.2 and 67(!!!) in 10.6.3.. Cinebench statistics showed a 35-40% reduction in performance. I would never had known this until I had Aperture problems, and on a hunch, thought I should check this out.
Submit feedback to Apple. I just rolled back to 10.6.2 and Aperture works MUCH BETTER. MUCH BETTER.......
I have come to the conclusion that this is the end of the Snow Leopard road for myself and my 3.5 year old machine. Apple is saying move on, as it is painfully clear that old machines will not support the new updates well. However it is odd to see newer machines with the same problems. Alas, it may just be Quality Control rather than Hardware Obsolescence.

Corrupted tif files

Hi All,
I was working on a big tif file 2g at size, I edit it with photoshop through adobe lightroom. Due to unknown reason, when i tried to save the file in photoshop, and I was informed the file is non-accessible. It ends up the file is disappeared from hardisk and I used some recovery software to retrieve the tif files. However, it seems a corrupted tif files which can't open in Photoshop or Irfanview.
the error message I got from photoshop is 'could not complete your request, because it is not the right kind of file'.. it is a tif file with layers.
I had tried to google and search, it seems there is no way to repair a corrupted tif files.
Do I have a chance to restore it using any method?
thank you.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss of data.
Generally speaking, lost image data is usually really lost, especially if any recovered files you've identified to possibly contain your images are not opening in the ways you've tried...
Just basic stuff you've probably already thought of:
Have you made sure to rename files you're hoping to be TIFFs with the .tif file extension?
Did you File - Save As your file anywhere else?
Did you do a system backup that might have saved an earlier copy of the file to external media?

Corrupted TIF files restore

Hello
as i was working on a TIF file in Photoshop, my computer unexpectidly restarted
then, when i opened my TIF work in Photoshop, an error message appeared "Could not complete your request beacause of a p^roblem parsing the TIFF file."
Looks like my file is corrupted, no ?
here is a .png version of the corrupted picture
the below half is totally black and a multicolor line devides the pic on the half
Can i send the .tif file to Adobe team so that you restore it ??
it seems Windows hasn't made a backup of the file before the accident
Here is a look of a previous .png version to see what it supposes to look like
Thanks for your help

Yes, that file appears to have been corrupted on disk, probably beause it wasn't finished writing when the computer restarted (BTW - that probably means you have some defective hardware in the system, you need to get that looked at).
It is unlikely that anything more can be recovered.

Photoshop CS4, Saved a Tiff file now won't open correctly

I saved a file as a .tif and it saved as normal then I shut down Photoshop and then the PC. The next day when I try to open the file it doesn't open correctly it opens but the right hand side of the photo is on the left and the left hand side of the image is now on the right, its like its been cut in half and put pack the wrong way.
It also didn't open with the layers only as a locked background. When I view the file in the icon it looks fine until I open it.
Help!

Laura, I'd guess this is not promising for you. TIFF files tend to be large, so I am wondering if you might have closed Photosho and the PC before it had finished saving? Do you remember the pixel size of the original image, and what is the file size in Mb? I am not sure how Photoshop treats TIFF images, depite them owning the file format after buying it from Aldus a few years ago, but it sounds like it was saved as a series of tiles, and the information about the order of those tiles is corrupted. You might be able to Google TIF file recovery program, but it is unlikely you'll get the full file back with all the information saved with it.
If you don't get a better answer, keep a weather out for when Chris Cox is posting, and bump this thread.
Good luck

.Tiff files show as RAW files

I have an Olympus C-770 Ultra Zoom and have just shot some .Tiff files and loaded them into my 5th G. iPod via the Apple camera connector. They have shown up as RAW files for some unknown reason so I can't view them on the iPod. What is going on and what is the solution?

Thank you for replying. That is right, I am quite suspicious of memory - my laptop is full to the brim and I suspect that this may affect available memory and cause some problems in LR. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about computers to be certain.
The card reader - quite simple: the card reader is the same, whether I save the files to the internal or external drives. I put the SD card in it, then copy the files and paste them where I want them. When done, I then open the LR and synchronize the folder. When I copy and paste files to the internal drive, the images look fine in LR; when I copy and paste them into the external drive, 80% of them come up visually corrupted in LR. Since the same card reader is used in both cases, and the files are OK when saved internally, I am assuming it is not the card reader.
So, basically, when I became aware of the problem, I tried copying and saving the same file both internally and externally from the card reader, in order to verify what was going on. That is how the same file (more than one, actually) ended up on three different drives.
Right now, my instinct is to copy everything to an external drive and clear some space on the internal one. I am very apprehensive though - what if something is causing file corruption on the external drives - in that case I will be corrupting everything when I migrate the files. Hence my previous question - are the files actually corrupted, or do they simply appear corrupted in LR because of memory issues? As I said, I don't know enough about this to be certain and do not know what to do.

Not able to open TIFF files

Photoshop is not able to open few TIFF files and I am not able to understand what's making these files different from the other TIFFs
Attached the error box that's popping when trying to open the file in Photoshop.
Here is the link of the TIFF file which is throwing the above error - https://www.dropbox.com/l/IDZfh8TSHAWgS8mP0oWeFn
Please help

Your file is corrupted.
Some applications are able to open the embedded, flattened, JPEG preview only.

Tiff files suddenly don't open in preview and powerpoint

All of a sudden my tiff files that still could be previewed two weeks ago, before an update of Lion, won't open anymore in preview and powerpoint. The files are not corrupted, since photoshop opens them normally. Anything know about a bug in latest lion version? Any suggestions to solve this?

Same issue. Can not use DVD studio pro with imported subtitles anymore (TIF Files). Anyone found a workaround?

Corrupt image files cause upgraded iPhoto to crash

I have been spending some time trying to find and remove corrupt image files from my iPhoto library. These are not just scrambled images when viewed they crash any and every program you view them with. Including Finder. I accidentally put one on my desktop and finder went into a auto restart cycle I could not stop. until I removed the file with pathfinder. I have found about 30 of these so far (my library is about 25,000) Many of these are in the data file but some are not. They are of all types (jpg,tiff,psd) Thorsten Lemke, (Lemke Software) tells me it is a quicktime issue.
Here is a link to one of these files. Warning it will crash safari if you try o view it.
http://vincentdavis.net/try/try.jpg
Here are my questions.
1. is there some way to fix these
2. is there some efficient way to find and remove/fix them?
3. how did this happen? I had no problem before update (that I knew of)
Thanks
Vincent

I did try the link, and as you said - it crashed Safari. However, I have google searched and also searched the Apple Support sites for 'fix corrupt images' with no luck. I'm sorry but I think the only way of knowing is to try and open each of them.
However, I did read on Macworld's site once that sometimes photoshop or other image editing programs can open the corrupt files.
Sorry for not being much help here - I hoped that my first suggestion would have done the trick.
Sam
