Given is a TIFF file with ioTIFF_G3FAX1D compression type.
When i just save this file (see delphi code below), the file is not readable by different applications like Adobe Acrobat X or IrfanView. They just show a blank image.
Is it possible to save the image with the same compression type so that it is readable by all applications?
Can someone help me to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.
var
iev1:TImageENView;
begin
iev1:=TImageENView.Create(Self);
try
iev1.IO.LoadFromFileTIFF('2a.tif');
iev1.IO.SaveToFileTIFF('2b.tif');
finally
iev1.Free;
end;
end;
Your can download the TIFF files here:
Input file (readable):
http://kunde.iquadrat.de/iquadrat/attachments/2a.tif
Output file (not readable):
http://kunde.iquadrat.de/iquadrat/attachments/2b.tif

After futher review it turns out I got my compression files mixed up. The ioTIFF_G3FAX1D image I created opens as a blank image in IrfanView, but its properties dialog is filled. The ioTIFF_G3FAX1D displays correctly in MicrosoftOffice picture viewer, Windows 7 Paint, Windows 7 Live Photogallery, Windows7 PhotoViewer and in ImageEN itself.

How did you set the compression when you created 2b.tif?
Did you try my code?
I also tried setting the compression manually where TFormTIFFCompression contains a combobox with these items:
Uncompressed TIFF
(CCITT1D) Bilevel Huffman compression.
(G3FAX1D) Bilevel Group 3 CCITT compression, monodimensional.
(G3FAX2D Bilevel Group 3 CCITT compression, bidimensional.
(G4FAX) Bilevel Group 4 CCITT compression, bidimensional.
(LZW) compression. Supports alpha channel.
(OLDJPEG) Ver.6.0 jpeg compression (unsupported).
(JPEG) Jpeg compression. Only true color images
(PACKBITS) RLE compression. Supports alpha channel.
(ZIP) compression (non TIFF standard). No alpha channel.
(DEFLATE) Adobe ZIP compression (non TIFF standard). No alpha channel.
(TIFF_UNKNOWN) Unknown compression
procedure TForm1.TIFFCompression1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
FormTIFFCompression := TFormTIFFCompression.Create(self);
try
FormTIFFCompression.ImageEnView1.Assign(ImageEnView1);
if (FormTIFFCompression.ShowModal = mrok) and (not FormTIFFCompression.FApplied) then
begin
ImageEnView1.IO.Params.TIFF_Compression := TIOTIFFCompression(FormTIFFCompression.TIFFCompression1.ItemIndex);
ImageEnView1.Update;
// Build the save picture dialog filter
SavePictureDialog1.Filter := '';
SavePictureDialog1.Filter := SavePictureDialog1.Filter + 'TIF Bitmap (*.tif; *.tiff)|*.tif;*.tiff|';
SavePictureDialog1.DefaultExt := '.tif';
SavePictureDialog1.FileName := ExtractFilename(ImageEnView1.IO.Params.FileName);
SavePictureDialog1.Title := 'Save As- ' + ImageEnView1.IO.Params.FileName;
if SavePictureDialog1.Execute then
begin
if SavePictureDialog1.FileName <> '' then
begin
Screen.Cursor := crHourGlass;
try
FFilename := SavePictureDialog1.FileName;
ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFileTIFF(SavePictureDialog1.FileName);
Caption := 'ImageEnIO From A to Z- ' + SavePictureDialog1.FileName;
finally
Screen.Cursor := crDefault;
end;
end;
end;
end;
finally
FormTIFFCompression.Free;
end;
end;
Both IO.DoPreviews and manually setting ioTIFF_G3FAX1D then save the image both work as expected here. The ioTIFF_G3FAX1D image is sucesfully displayed in IrfranView here.

Thank you for your responses.
This is a riddle to me that IrfanView shows the 2b.tif picture correctly. I just installed the newest version, also on Win7 / 64 and still the same.
I know that all the other compression types are working fine. The problem is only the G3FAX1D compression (Constant ioTIFF_G3FAX1D).
Unfortunately one of our customer has only G3FAX1D compressed TIFF files and he cannot open the files in some applications (some do, some don't). |

well, with the first and the second image, there are no problem to view it with ivanview , paint and windows viewer (i have win 7 64 bit).

When I save the tiff file with varoius compression values they all load sucesfully in IrfanView:
CCTITT2D, G2FAC2D, G4FXX, JPEG, LZW, PACKBITS AND ZIP.
This is my code:
procedure TForm1.SaveToFileTIFF1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
if FileExists(ImageEnView1.IO.Params.FileName) then
begin
if ImageEnView1.IO.DoPreviews([ppTIFF]) then // set the compression in the IOPreviewsDialog
begin
// Build the save picture dialog filter
SavePictureDialog1.Filter := '';
SavePictureDialog1.Filter := SavePictureDialog1.Filter + 'TIF Bitmap (*.tif; *.tiff)|*.tif;*.tiff|';
SavePictureDialog1.DefaultExt := '.tif';
SavePictureDialog1.FileName := ExtractFilename(ImageEnView1.IO.Params.FileName);
SavePictureDialog1.Title := 'Save As- ' + ImageEnView1.IO.Params.FileName;
if SavePictureDialog1.Execute then
begin
if SavePictureDialog1.FileName <> '' then
begin
Screen.Cursor := crHourGlass;
try
FFilename := SavePictureDialog1.FileName;
ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFileTIFF(SavePictureDialog1.FileName);
Caption := 'ImageEnIO From A to Z- ' + SavePictureDialog1.FileName;
finally
Screen.Cursor := crDefault;
end;
end;
end;
end;
end;
end;

Oh sorry, i uploaded the input TIFF file.
Here is the output TIFF file which is not displayed properly:

I changed also the first post. |

I downloaded your image and sucessfully loaded it into
IrfanView, pictureviewer, microsoft office, Windows Paint, imageen... and about 8 other image applications... on Windows 7.
