Free tiff file viewer?

[Hamish Gill]

Not for me, I just use ps but that isn't practical for a one off because of it costing 2/3rds of the national debt of Greece
I recomeneded irfanview but thy is apparently opening the files in whacky colours ...
Any other suggestions
I've asked what version of windows, will post response if it matters

I think the built in viewer can be made to show tiffs, file type associations.

Hi Hamish,
Thanks for asking the question for me here!
The OS is Vista Home Premium.
The MS Photo Viewer software opens other file types, but not tiffs - not sure if I can set it up to do so.
At Hamish' suggestion, I downloaded irfanview & I can open the files in question, but the images come through in red & bluey green when they should be B&W. They are rather stunning in a Zappa Hot Rats record sleeve kind of a way, but not exactly what we're aiming for!

 

[Chris Bennett]

I'm not even able to open these files in MS Paint, which I know will handle tiffs - strange

 

[Paul Lange]

You should be able to open and modify tiffs no problems in Vista's native viewer. Have you updated vista regularly?

I find Picasa very useful , it will open tiffs and my RAW files (Sony) and it's free.

Hmm I wonder if I left them in a funny colur space?? I'll look at it Monday Chris ... ...
They should be adobe rgb ... Does that effect irfanview does anyone know??

 

[Vic Shaw]

Thinking about it I had this problem with a photo on picasa a month or so ago. I think that was some kind of colour space issue, but to be honest I cannot remember the cause of it or the fix for that matter! sorry

 

[Chris Bennett]

No hurry Hamish - I'm sure it'll be fine but if you'd prefer us to check the finished images before you hit the 'fire' button, that's fine too. Check it out Monday & we'll speak afterwards.
Cheers

I'll send over some jpegs Chris ...
What do you think of the forum these days ... Been nearly a year since you checked if over for spelling and the like!
I think I might have left the tiffs in "lab" colour thinking about it ... Fridays are never my best day!

 

[Chris Bennett]

Yeah, you were too busy thinking about that pint & swearing at the bloke who didn't answer your phone call cos he was in a meeting!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Hehe yeah... Sounds about bang on matey
