TIFF will not preview in Windows Photo Viewer
Hi,
I received a TIFF with extension .tif
Size: 907 MB
Trying to open with: Windows Photo Viewer (WPV)
Method of transfer: copy/paste from thumb drive
Associated files received with: .tfw & .xyz files
It is an air photo that has already been mosaicked from many single air photos.
Things I've tried:
-opening with Windows Photo Viewer: WPV can't open that picture because either Photo Viewer doesn't support this file, or you don't have the latest updates to Photo Viewer. New laptop and updates are up to date.
-opening with paint: Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported.
-changed extension to .tiff & .jpeg to see if maybe it had wrong extension. No luck!
-made sure that .tif & .tiff were recognized in 'Associate file type or protocol with a specific program'
My goal is to not have to download an additional 'file converter' or 'image opener' etc... and simply use what I have now. My end goal is to use it in ArcMap 9.3. I have tried opening it in Ozi Explorer but it shows up as 3 oddly out-of-place air photos that do not align?
sorry for the long thread but I just wanted to show that I've made several attempts before seeking help
Thanks!
