Description Steffen Jost 2009-12-21 12:38:21 UTC 
Version:           0.10.0 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6", openSUSE 11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop

Failed to load image "fax.tif".
...occurs when I try to open a TIF-image in showfoto.

Dolphin shows a correct preview and thumbnail.
Gimp can open the picture just fine. 

Within Showfoto, after dismissing the error dialogue, the preview in the Thumbnail-bar on the left looks perfectly fine! The file properties on the right bar only show the type (TIFF Image) and Created-Date, with everything else being "unavailable".

I checked several TIFF pictures that I had on my harddisk. Some work, some don't. I will try to attach one.

TIFF image that fails to load in Showfoto

Here is a TIFF-image that fails to load in Showfoto, but works fine with Dolphin's preview and GIMP. It was generated by the Webmail-Services of ARCOR.DE and contains both text and an image. I have other images, but the ones that fail are seem to be all black and white only.

try with digiKam 1.0.0 (just released...)

Comment 3 Steffen Jost 2009-12-21 13:02:14 UTC 
I cannot find digiKam 1.0.0 in the openSUSE11.2 repositories yet, and in the SUSE-forums I was told to report here instead, so I did.

Steffen,

This file still valid using digiKam 2.x serie ?

Comment 5 Steffen Jost 2011-12-16 11:55:02 UTC 
Yes, I still cannot display the previously attached tiff with

  showFoto
  Version 2.2.0
  Unter KDE 4.7.2 (4.7.2) "release 5"

While Gimp and Okular display all my .tif images just fine, I can only load very few successfully with showFoto. I could provide more pictures if this would help.

I got the same issue with Digikam 2.7 on OpenSuse 12.1. TIFFs won't be display with the hint "Failed to load image" but with JPEGs all is fine. Thought this might ahve something in common with the color profiles but that's not so.
Comment 7 Marcel Wiesweg 2012-07-25 18:03:30 UTC 
Same problem with some sample TIFFs like any of these:
http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/TEST_IMAGES/TIFF/
or only with particular images?
Comment 8 Mike Gutzschhahn 2012-07-26 12:35:00 UTC 
Hi Marcel,

i checked all pictures and got the following problems:

no thumb generated, no preview with:
gray-16bit-noicc.tif
vpscmyk-phs-16.tif

no preview with:
vps-cmyk.tif

All else doing fine.

Thanks for your support
Mike
Comment 9 Marcel Wiesweg 2012-07-26 20:26:58 UTC 
Well there are a lot of flavours of the TIFF standard, and some of them are not supported at the moment. CMYK images are good candidates.
