I'm stuck.
In my tests, using "the" or not made no difference, but file references are a bit strange in AppleScript. Try using: set creator type of alias "Macintosh HD:Users:sivakatirswami:Desktop:_temp:a tst creator:image.tiff" to "8BIM" and add the "alias" keyword to the file type line also. If that doesn't work, use the word "file" where I have used "alias" As far as I can tell, AppleScript has no way of knowing that the string you provide is a file reference unless you tell it so.
