Hi.

Photoshop cs3 refuses to open the map with tiff extension generated in 3D-coat.

Is there any application to open this tiff? (not tif but tiff)

My 3D-coat version is win 3.5.10 cuda GL64.

Probably the other versions have the same problem.

Thanks

Edit

Maybe photoshop can not handle 32bit tiff?

I'm running into this problem this week--there must be something about the 3DC TIFF file header that Photoshop does not like because I keep getting the 'Not the right type of document' warning. To be clear, this is for exported displacement maps.

What I've been doing is opening the TIFFs in Fusion and resaving it using ZIP compression. (I'm using Fusion to preserve the high bit depth.) The result is a smaller file size and it opens in Photoshop just fine. Of course, using Fusion as a file conversion program isn't a practical solution for many users so hopefully this problem gets fixed.

In the meantime, does anybody know of a free or cheap image conversion program that will do the above? Just looking for something that users who don't have Fusion can use.
