This 64 bit version's Browser seems to display thumbnails much more quickly than 7.6.2.  It also seems to manually generate previews more quickly, though there is a substantial delay before it gets started generating them if I have more than a few selected in the browser.I'll try to give more quantitative results as I test v8 with our normal workflow.

It has a complete rewritten backend for 64 bit support. So, there may occur some bugs. Please report them directly to lemke@lemkesoft.de or to this group. I will release the final version in 4-6 weeks. So, I am happy about each report or comment. The version 8 should have the same features as the version 7.6.2. In addition it supports 32/64 bit. So, you can open really large images of some GB. A note: the 64 bit version do not support some old formats like PhotoCD. Because the SDKs for this old format is only 32 bit. But you can launch the 64 bit version in 32 bit, too. It is a fat binary. You can change the launch mode in the Finder. Select the app in the Finder. Select file info and click on "Launch in 32 bit".

I have several 'TIFFs' - high resolution scans of aerial photos. Each of the images is roughly 630MB. I have yet to find a Mac app that will open the files. I have been able to successfully open them using ERViewer and ENVI (recognized as TIFFs). GraphicConverter tells me that he files are broken, the format is unknown, or they aren't graphic files. QGIS says "...TIFFReadDirectory:Failed to read directory at offset 638819932) which is not particularly helpful. Any thoughts? An example file can be found here: http://www.akwebguy.com/Images/TNC093_FRAME928.TIF Remember, it's a big file Ken Winterberger

Hi Ken, That tif does not contain any valid TIFF directory. So, it can't be decoded.

I was guessing that this might be the problem.  Is there a reasonable explanation for ERViewer and ENVI being able to open the files?Thanks.Ken W.

Hello, Hmm, no idea. Maybe they show the raw data stream.

I tried to open one of the images in Apple's Preview.Preview did not show the image but appeared to recognize the image as having 3 parts (they were 'blank'.) I then 'dropped' one the images into ArcMap.  ArcMap gave me a screen (attached) suggesting that there 3 parts.  Oddly no matter which of these I selected, it opened the image and seemed to recognize it as a TIFF.  If I 'open' all three parts it labels them as tif:0, tif:1 and tif:2 ENVI recognizes them as TIFF in BIP format.

Thorsten,I just found that I can open these TIFF files in Preview.  Actually, Preview has no problem with these files but I was reading them from a DVD and I got impatient, thinking that Preview couldn't open them because it was taking so long.  When I moved several of the files to my hard drive they open very quickly.  Curiously, the files seem to contain some sort of pyramiding scheme.  When an individual TIFF is opened in Preview, it 'sees' 3 different versions of the file; one is full resolution, one is medium resolution, and one is essentially a thumbnail view.Ken W.

Hi Ken,I retried your file here with preview.It can not open it.ThorstenOn 21.05.2012, at 07:00, Kenneth Winterberger wrote: Thorsten,I just found that I can open these TIFF files in Preview.  Actually, Preview has no problem with these files but I was reading them from a DVD and I got impatient, thinking that Preview couldn't open them because it was taking so long.  When I moved several of the files to my hard drive they open very quickly.  Curiously, the files seem to contain some sort of pyramiding scheme.  When an individual TIFF is opened in Preview, it 'sees' 3 different versions of the file; one is full resolution, one is medium resolution, and one is essentially a thumbnail view.Ken W.

Thorsten, I've placed a screenshot of the Apple Preview 'view' one of the 'odd TIFFs' here: http://www.akwebguy.com/Images/TNC063_preview_eg.png As you can see in the screenshot, Preview 'sees' 3 images. I can open this TIFF in GraphicConverter 8.1 (872); I've pasted the exif below. It looks as though the TIFF that I was having difficulty with (TNC093_FRAME928.tif) is indeed broken. Can you explain Preview 'seeing' 3 images when the TIFFs are opened? Sorry about the confusion and thanks for the help.
