Maybe the compression is the problem?

Hi,

I have a tiff image which was saved with Photoshop with the settings listed below (I would attach it, but my internet connection now is so bad that it fails to send the mail if I do it!!). Pix_image silently fails to read it (or maybe it reads it as an all-white image, but i think it's the former, since pix_info returns -1 as width and height); however I can see it correctly in Image Viewer (the default image viewer in Ubuntu) and in GIMP. If I open it in GIMP and save it again into tiff, pix_image reads it correctly. However GIMP doesn't offer as many settings as Photoshop.

Does anybody know which of these settings is not supported by pix_image (if any)? (do you know any kind of "tiff inspector" for Ubuntu?)

Here are the settings:

Image compression: LZW
Pixel Order: Interleaved (RGBRGB)
Byte order: IBM PC
Save Image Pyramid (checkbox): no
Save Transparency (checkbox): no
Layer Compression: RLE

I guess these are the default values in Photoshop (I don't have it, I was sent a screenshot of the settings they saved the image with).

Thanks
m.
