Hans Petter, When I started this process I forgot I had any TIFF files in the database, so I didn't think your comment applied to my situation. Apparently there are some files in there I had forgotten about (thank goodness the database has a better memory than I do :-) I think you are absolutely c

As I said in a previous reply, I get these all the time when I open tiffs from Darktable in Gimp. My tiffs are generated from Canon CR2 raw files, so this is probably not Nikon specific. Hans Petter http://hpbirkeland.com 2016-02-14 18:06 GMT+01:00 Pedro Côrte-Real : > On Sun, Feb 14, 2016 at 5

Maybe this should go into a new thread (and maybe it doesn't matter at all). I've stumbled across some more information. It appears the messages are triggered by TIFF files that came from NEFs. Here is what I see: All of the TIFF files in my database are of the pattern %Arboretum.tif (I only have

Ah, I see. Well, if I ever figure out which files it was I'll investigate further, but for now it seems like something I'm safe to ignore. -Owen On Sun, Feb 14, 2016 at 11:06 AM, Pedro Côrte-Real wrote: > On Sun, Feb 14, 2016 at 5:00 PM, Lefty Ace wrote: > > Regarding the TIFF issue, I did som

I don't have an answer to your problem, I just noticed your 2) follow up. I get these every time I open a tiff from DT in Gimp. Doesn't seem to matter much, but something is not perfect.
