This would probably be best asked in the ID forum.
I believe ID makes JPG previews so it is trying to convert 3.42 GB of data to JPG for the preview. I could see this being a problem with a file half that size. Is such a file size really needed?
Its not just a preview issue, you are right. I tried exporting a pdf to see and it came out with the same corruptions. However when I reopen the tiff file it looks okay.
Unfortunately I a peon at the place I’m working right now so I don’t get to educate the clients of which I’ve rarely had a problem. The person in charge just won’t do it so that is that.
Basically the files are approx 4 or 5 ft wide at 1/4 size. The client wants the images place at 100 percent but 4 times the rez so 1200ppi will effectively be 300ppi when the file is output at 400%. The theory is sound but for the inkjet/banner printer that will most likely be used it is way over rezzed and the rip can do a good enough rez up on the fly anyway, but heh, what do I know.
ps: I’m not going to mention the client but they aren’t a fly by night.
