Hi,
I am trying to create a device linked profile for a TIFF (in this case,
Bamboo.tif). I
am able to make smaller size device linked profiles for a TIFF that is about
300 KB.
But the files I often work with are often larger. I am having difficulty
with a medium
sized file (3.4 GB). The larger file size appears to be an issue as may be my
computer.
Is there a maximum file size for cctiff?
yes, the tiff file format has a limit of 4 GB. There is a version of
tiff that has been extended to 64 bit called BigTIFF, but it would be
necessary to recompile the cctiff source against the BigTIFF library
and check that there aren't limits within the ArgyllCMS code, to be
able to support BigTIFF.
Another possibility is that some limitation of libtiff is being
exceeded, either because the tiff file is not legal, or that
libtiff isn't capable of handling a tiff file at the extreme of
what is legal.
Are you actually working with BigTIFF files ?
If so, what application is generating them ?
Cheers,
Graeme Gill.
