exporting tifs - JayC - 03-14-2022
I am experiencing a problem I did not have with former editions of GIMP. I am preparing historic tif maps to use in a GIS programme. The maps have been scanned as individual tiles and I want to edit the edges off them so that they will align when I construct the map in GIS. With a former edition of GIMP this was never a problem, I imported the map as a tif, made the adjustments and exported it as a tif. When I try to do this now I make all the changes and export the tif but none of the programmes on my computer recognise it. They all come up with the message 'it appears we don't except this file format'.

When you export the tif try un-ticking the options, especially the save thumbnail option. That is known to cause problems.

Brilliant! That worked. Saved me more hours trying to work it out.
