The question has been asked before but nobody gave an answer till now :I have a DC-6300 and can't open the tiff files with Adobe photoshop cs2 or Paint or other program on my PC with Windows XP. Photoshop and Paint says that it is not recognized. .Anybody knows how to fix this problem?I thank you very much !!

Hi - a frustrating problem -
A few suggestions which might help -
add the .tiff suffix to the image file - I have experienced this problem when the suffix is missing in Windows. Right click the image file and click rename.
Also try the image preview software in Windows.
Download a free software package called Dogwaffle and see if this works.
Try the image file on another computer if possible - if it won't open that then you have to look at the camera settings to check what is being output. I don't know the camera personally so can't be much help here. Also check that your software has the appropriate plug-in to open .tiffs in the first place.
Hope this helps

Re opening TIFF files.
My cousin is professional photographer of 50 years. He gave me this advice. Save the image as a TIFF. Save also as a JPG. Transfer the TIFF onto a disc and keep filed away. Do all your work, enhacing etc. as a JPG. The action of keeping the original on disk as a TIFF is the same as keeping an original old style negative safely, i.e. YOU ALWAYS HAVE IT. Plus a TIFF takes up a lot of space. When you have finalsied the enhancment etc. you can save it finally as you like, bearing in mind the size. And I repeat you always have the original tucked away safely.
