ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / TP9 viewer can't display 16-bit greyscale TIFFs

« on: 2015-04-26 02:40:23 »

I have quite a lot of medium format film scanned as 16-bit TIFF files - those which were originally B&W images I converted to 16-bit greyscale in Photoshop in order to save a couple of hundred megabytes per image, as the 16-bit RGB TIFFs are around 300Mb each.

TP9 - current version, build 3946 - thumbnails these 16-bit greyscale TIFFs without any problem, but when I try to open any of them in the TP9 viewer, I just get a blank black window. If I convert one of them back to 16-bit RGB in Photoshop, then the TP9 viewer can show them without any problem.

The same 16-bit greyscale images display without any problem in Windows Photo Viewer, Photoshop, and Lightroom.

OS is Windows 8.1 x64, video card is nVidia Quadro K2200 with the current nVidia driver.

Thanks, I'd never noticed that option before. It does exactly what I want.

If I'm in the Advanced tab of the Preferences dialog and click the Help button, the first two entries shown in the help file, "Maximum image bitmap cache size" and "Bitmap window size for larger images", don't exist as fields in the dialog.

General Discussion / Canon G1X MkII & Fuji X-E1 raw file support

Thanks, I didn't realize that. I installed 6.22 of dcraw.exe and dcraw64.exe in the bin folder, changed the file type preferences for both Canon and Fuji raw files to use plug_digiraw.tpp, remade thumbnails for those two cameras, and I now get correct colours for the CR2 RAW images and can actually see the RAF images.

If I'm producing both RAW and JPG for each camera image, it would be advantageous, when quickly going through the images after they have been loaded from the camera to the PC, to have an option be able to have next go to the next JPG rather than go through both the RAW and JPG for each image. JPGs load in about half a second - RAW images take anywhere from 5-10 seconds to load, depending on which camera produced the RAW.

TP9 build 3943 with latest Digicam and CDRaw plugins still doesn't support the RAW files from either camera, even though the Fuji has been on the market since 2012 and the Canon for about a year. Any chance of getting support for either camera some time?

Some sort of image can be seen for the Canon RAWs, even though the colour is completely wrong and there is no correction for lens distortion, but the Fuji RAWs just show a completely black blank image for both the thumbnails and and for the file if you try to load it. I've tried both plug_digicam and plug_digiraw for both file types, with equally bad results for both with either converter.

On Linux I can use dcraw v9.21 successfully to convert both file types to TIF or JPG...
