Crash on loading a .tif file

[MartinClayden]

I have  1.7Gb .tif file which on attempting to load throws the error stack below. Is this a file size error (i.e. not enough memory)?

 

Help appreciated please

 

Thanks

That error indicates the WIC does not recognize the file format.

It may be that the file uses an unsupported TIFF version, or is some other format masquerading as a .tif file.
