Guest TIFF Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Can someone help me open my TIF file or teach me how to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazilyhasty Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 In fact in Vista and XP, the default Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (WPFV) can be used to view .tiff files. All you need to do is to right click on the file and select Open As... and then select WPFV from the list of programs. However, in some cases certain .tiff files have been compressed by some algorithm than the WPFV is unable to decipher - for that, you can open it up in Gimp (an open source, Photoshop-like image editing/viewing software) or Photoshop.

The file is important to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway thanks!A 19kb big .tiff file sounds a little bit wrong to me. Tiff is a lossless compression image format and unless the dimension of the photo is extremely small (or the original photo is severely degraded), it sounds like the file is somewhat corrupted.
