TIFF files?

Some of my required reading is saved in TIFF format.� It doesn't like to display.�

I'm running XP Pro, just downloaded the (controversial) Windows Pak 2, and I'm dialing in.� I get "no image to display" or "no document found".� I use IE as my browser, which might be part of the problem, but I'm not going to mess with the controls just to get this document.� (I know just enough to be really stupid when it comes to setting controls...)

Any ideas?

As a graphic designer (Mac-using) nerd, I don't know why anybody would save reading material for classes as tiffs. Tiffs are high-end (and high memory) graphic files for printing purposes. Go tell your professor/supervisor that he or she is an idiot.

I agree. Tiff is last century. PDF is pretty much the universal standard now.

in KitH fashion: IRONY!!�

Trust me.� The guy's an idiot all the way around.� He said he'd save them in pdf format, but....

I doubt telling him to his face would help my grade.� Right now, I need all the help I can get.

Buy a Mac?

no good.� no time (test on monday) and no money (rent due monday, too.)� I was hoping for something less money and time consuming.� :D

Gimp

Look under versiontracker for tif

Okay. I am now the proud recipient of gimp downloads and something-else-I-don't-remember. versiontracker = way cool and uber-intimidating.

Conclusion: the library's e-reserve is down. again. therefore I cannot use my new software to view anything other than "file cannot be found" pages.

I'm gonna beat me a professor...
