Title:
Gimp destroyes image file when trying to save as .tif with jpeg
compression
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
To reproduce the bug follow these steps
1. Start Gimp and open the example-before.tif with LZW compression attached
below
2. Go to Image -> Mode -> Indexed, choose "Generate optimum palette ->
Maximum number of colors", change the value from 256 to 16 and hit "Convert"
button
3. Go to File -> Save, replace the file and change compression to jpeg
4. Now a message appears saying:

Saving '/home/myname/example-after.tif' failed:

be opened or viewed anymore (see the example-after.tif attached)
