Hi,

Bizarre. When I make a TIFF file with CS6, very often I get an error message when creating thumbnails. If I open it again with Xnview and I record, no more problem.

An Idea ??

Thank you Fred for you reply.

But I use CS6.

I open a NEF file with CS6 and saves TIFF. (I tested without profile, Adobe RGB and CMYK profile).

When I receive an error message, I open the TIFF file with Xnview and saves again. I rebuild thumbs and now It's fine.

I use CS6 too with TIFF's printed from Qimage.

However, I work on my initial NEF (RAW) files in Nikon's software for the TIFF conversion first, then use CS6.  No issues so far working on them in Qimage.

I'm not personally fond of Adobe's RAW converter.  Nikon's software seems to do a much better job at reading the buried RAW data than Adobe.  I think their software can only apply their Active-D Lighting (ADL) range features too that are set in the camera's menu that only their proprietary software can read.

However, some plug-ins used within CS6 can make for odd output files that other software will not read.  Mostly in files that change colorspace from say a color RGB to a "Gray Gamma 2.2" or "Dot Gain 20%" or something for B&W.  Then I get some issues with the thumbnails unless I convert them back to RGB.  Qimage seems a little more forgiving than some others - at least so far for me.
