TIFF, unlike many image formats, allows multiple images to be stored in a single file. Most viewers are unable to cope with this. Also TIFF is rather open-ended about how the data is encoded, and it could just be that the encoding format used in your particular TIFF images is not understood. If you have the 'libtiff' package installed then try the following command on one of your TIFF files to get more information: tiffdump image.tiff If you see the term "IFD", that refers to one image. If there are multiple images inside the TIFF file, you can split them out by using the tiffsplit command to separate each image into its own file. -- Deron Meranda
