TIFF displays and displays not

[Jacob Delfos]

Stefan,

this may not be related to the cause, but I have had problems using TIFF from photoshop. Whatever the reason was, it wasn't because it was TIFF instead of geoTIFF, because even with a TFW file, it wouldn't display. It stayed blank. TIFF's not created by photoshop would work fine. There have been other people on the list reporting problems with TIFF from photoshop. I ended up converting to ecw.
Does your php log or webserver log give you any useful errors? Perhaps you could try writing the TIFF from a different program (irfanview?).

regards,

Jacob

Ed, 



thanks for that. 



Still, I can't see the reason for that. I have two TIFF images, which seem to be perfectly similar. I have saved them both from Photoshop. So no GeoTIIFF, only normal TIFF. 



How do I get the "mapserv -v" on a Windows machine? 



The Linux machine is giving me this: 

MapServer version 4.0 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF 

SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT 

INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE 






Stefan -



 

The first thing I'd do is run "mapserv -v" on each machine and look for configuration differences in your two MapServer installations.  Also, check whether both are GeoTIFFs.

Hi, 




gush, what a strange thing. I have to TIFFs with a worldfile each. Using PHP/MapScript, on my windows machine, both display nicely. On our Linux machine however, only one of the two displays. When I select the other, white space... Nothing. 




I added one of the TIFFs only now, the other already a couple of days ago. Sure, this can't be the reason. But .... Actually, I have no idea. They are both 8 bit, and RGB color mode. 




Any idea whatsoever? Thanks for letting me know. I am really stuck... 




Stef
