Re: [APML] Problem with scan and TIFs

["Monte Wilson" <montezinho@bigpond.com>]

I checked the extension, it is .tif so that aint the trouble here. I wish it
was that simple!

Yes they did copy it with PS 5.5, I have 5.0 LE. I think that may be the
problem. Can I tell them to save it as some other format of TIF to avoid
this?

Where can I find details of the supported files (32 or 48 bit) in my PS?


Thanks Guys

Monte
