SisiSina Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Dear all Is it possible to save images as uncompressed tiffs with paint.net? I need to edit images and afterwards use a program that can only open tif files and if I use the tiff format, they have to be uncompressed. Else I get an error (Error: Cannot open compressed tiff files (1)). Thanks and cheers Sina Edited July 6, 2016 by SisiSina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Paint.net includes this legacy format in a very rudimentary way, so there is no configuration dialog with the TIFF format and hence no configuration options. We generally point users to another format (like PNG), however if this is not an option you'll have to open the compressed image in another editor and resave it.

toe_head2001 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Indeed, paint.net only uses what's natively provided by GDI+. However, a motivated plugin developer could probably use something like LibTiff.Net to throw a plugin together. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue. My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
