unable to open TIFF files

I used the TIFF setting on my camera than uploaded to my computer, bu for some reason I cannot get any of my image editing programs to ope the TIFF files.
I have adobe photoshop7, elements and also jasc PSP

When installed them i did check the box that allowed TIFF files.

Any ideas on what I can do.

Wanting to try this format because anything else i use my programs sav my pics to 72 dpi and wanting to alter these pic

Do you have TIFF.8bi in your 'file formats' folder?

The number of 'dpi' is irrelevant. The important number is how many pixels in the picture.

The dpi is useful when placing photos in a page layout program. An 800x600 photo at 200dpi will print as 4" x 3", the same photo at 72dpi would print as 11.11" x 8.33" UNLESS YOU TELL IT OTHERWISE. It's the same picture, the same detail.

Actually, it's "ppi" or "pixels per inch", not "dots per inch" until you're on a printer.

How did you download them? I am guessing it's a hardware.cable/flash card problem. What are the sizes on disk? Can you download them again? Do you get an error message?

I download them from a cable that is plugged into my camera than a us port on my pc.
I also have tried just putting the memory card into the card reader o my pc and still can't open them

I get the error box saying "can't be opened because the Tiff file use a unsupported color space

What model camera do you use?

Mac or PC?

You might try posting to the appropriate forum on DP Review. It has forums dedicated for most any brand of camera.

I used a Fuji S1 Pro DSLR and PS read my .tif files okay.
