I have opened several .tif pictures in Snow Leopard Preview without any problems.

I read somewhere that Snow Leopard has been Window-ised and now needs Windowsesque file extensions. Is this true?

Hi Glen,

All was set up as you suggest. It made no difference. The document opened in Preview in so far as the icon for each page appeared in the side- bar and I could print the document. I just couldn't read it in preview (the main
pane stayed blank).

That problem does not happen if I change the suffix .tif to .tiff

Cheers,

Michael.

Hi Michael,

Select a .tif file in the Finder and click Cmd I (Get Info).

Notice the Open with: section under Name & Extension.
Select Preview (if you want to use that for .tif), and then click the
Change All... button under the 'Use this application to open all
documents like this.

From then on Preview will be the default app to open .tif
Don't know why Snow Leopard would have 'forgotten' the default.

I regularly receive emails with an attachment in .tif format.

Since Snow Leopard was installed the icons for each page of the attachment
show up in the sidebar in Preview, but I cannot open the pages.

The attachments print from Preview without any difficulty .

If I change the suffix from .tif to .tiff , however, the documents open in
Preview.

Why could this be?

Michael Hawkins.
