.TIF with compression RLE

Hi all,
I have a problem with the .TIF display.
I have the same picture in two different file: "image.tif" and "image_1.tif"
"image.tif" have "Compression: None"
"image_1.tif" have "Compression: RLE"

The "image.tif" is display correctly, while "image_1.tif" is not correct display. The second picture shows different shadows.

How can I work on the second photo to avoid this problem?

Thanks,
Annalisa

Did you make either image with ImageMagick? What version? On what platform?

What software did you use to view the images? Perhaps that software can't read tiff RLE.

If you paste links to the images, we can experiment.

Might the bad tiff be CMYK and not RGB? If so, try converting it to sRGB with profiles.

HI Snibgo,
both images were processed in photoshop.
Than I upload the image in a custom platform (OTMM:OpenText Media Management) and the image are displayed differently.
I tried to add in the OTMM setting the comand "-compress None" , but the display gets worse for both images.

Thanks

The "good" file Unico_livello.tif contains one image.

The "bad" file Con_livelli.tif contains 13 images. They have different sizes and compressions. Perhaps your display software can't cope with multiple images, or it is flattening them all together.

Thanks Snibgo for the reply.

For the "bad" file is it possible to compress the 13 images into one? Or make sure that only one is considered?

Thanks a lot!

I don't know your custom platform (OTMM:OpenText Media Management). If it runs an ImageMagick command, then you can get just the first image by adding [0] to the end of the filename.
