Hi all,
I have a collection of TIFFs from some microscope imaging, but several of them
can't be opened or otherwise manipulated, showing instead this error when I
investigate them using LibTIFF in MobaXterm:
MissingRequired: TIFF directory is missing required "StripOffsets" field.
These TIFFs were collected during one imaging session with the same program
(SerialEM), and the StripOffsets error is distributed among the TIFFs seemingly
randomly. As in 10 are OK, then 50 aren't, then 10 are OK, etc.
With the suggestion of our "IT guy", I am using LibTIFF to try to attempt a
repair after he confirmed that the files weren't corrupted. It was recommended
that I take the StripOffset values from the "working" TIFFs and move that value
over to the "broken" TIFFs, but I can't figure out how to begin to approach
that (if it is possible). I have attached some information from a "working"
TIFF from the "tiffinfo" command as a txt file. I hope that helps.
To summarize, here is my question:
Is it possible to copy the StripOffset information from the "working" TIFFs to
the "broken" TIFFs to (hopefully) allow them to be decompressed for viewing?
Best regards,
Cole Bourque
