    TIF save options query

    in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions

    Posted

    Thanks for your suggestion, CommanderSozo. I was already on DPP 3.6 but have now upgraded to 3.7 anyway but to no avail, I'm afraid. Glad to hear I don't need glasses. The only uncompressed format DPP reads is TIF so PNG won't do, except as an intermediate save before converting with something else, which is what I have been doing with BMPs.

    Can anyone from the s/w team confirm that you can't turn off LZW compression when saving TIFs?

    TIF save options query

    Hi all,

    I am running v3.5.3 (Final Release build 3.53.3690.27077), downloaded in the last day or two. I'm not sure if this is related to a problem I have just discovered with TIF files.

    I have scanned several old prints using HP scanning software and saved them as TIF, which I then trim and clean with PDN. Up till now that's all I've done with them, beyond a bulk conversion to jpeg using IrfanView, and all has been well.

    Now, I have decided to edit and export the TIFs with my Canon camera software (DPP). TIFs that I have previously editied with PDN show up fine in DPP and I can export them quite happily. However, possibly since the upgrade but that may be coincidence, TIFs edited in PDN are no longer showing up in DPP - at least, the file is showing but not the thumbnail and consequently I can't edit it.

    I suspect it may be caused by the LZW compression that PDN is applying to the saved TIF. I could have sworn that there was an option for turning this off in previous versions but I can't even find a preferences dialog. Do I need (new) glasses?

    Regards,
