opening tiff, new crop tool

Hi!

I have just two additional remark for the 2.2pre1

The new crop tool is just good, but there is some refresh problem. Especially if I shrink my crop-area, there is some pixel-trash. For precise work is really annoying.
Is it a know issue? If i was not clear I can submit a screenshot from it.

I have a .tiff image that theGimp don't handle good. So theGimp load the file, but display as blank. I thinked the .tiff contain just an empty layer. Then I have successfully opened this .tiff file with photoshop 7.0. Can it be fixed? (is there somebody correspondant the .tiff file open plugin?)
Should I make disponible the .tiff image on the web? (1.8MB) Can it help?

Best regards,
Khiraly

Known issue, fixed in CVS.

It would help if you searched Bugzilla for it and, unless the same problem has been reported before, opened a bug report for it. The TIFF format is rather complex and GIMP doesn't support all features of it. There are also quite a bunch of application-specific extensions which can be considered proprietary. If your image is using those, there is little chance that you will be able to open it in anything else but the application that created it.

I think this .tiff file was created by Photoshop. My problem is very similar to the bugreport #154715
Just a little difference, there is marked, that Gimp have problem with the non-standard tiff extension how photoshop creat the .tiff files (so multilayered images).

My image have just one layer. But I think the same problem that I have, what the original reporter had (filled this bugreport.)

Just FYI, the typesetting program pdftex (part of the TeX typesetting suite) has dropped support for Tiff files for just this reason. There are too many competing variants out there. As of now regular TeX and LaTeX support Encapsulated PostScript only and pdftex/pdflatex support PNG, JPEG and PDF format (the latter is easily derivable from PostScript files via a utility.)

Printers however still accept Tiff files for cover art etc. Go figure!

I saw the same issue, create crop 'selection' and scroll the image and you will see that the crop lines stay fixed relative to the image where they should be but the grey mask moves with you.

Resaving it with different options might help, I had problems before with Adobe Tiff files which I think went away when I stripped out the XMP metadata or some other extensions the gimp didn't recognise or couldn't ignore.
