Error When Loading an Image

[Kerry]

Hi Darren,

When trying to load a particular single image (.TIFF) I get the
following error:

"Access violation at address 6FDB012A in module 'LIBTIFF3.DLL' Write
of address 4EBD3DA8.

The image is somewhat large (22286x14820 pixels), but only 315MB since
it is only one image.

Any suggestions on how I can get this to load?

Thanks,
Kerry

Hi Kerry,

Ooh, that sounds bad! If the error is being thrown by libtiff3.dll, that
suggests that it simply doesn't support images of that size and,
unfortunately, there's not much I can directly do about that. However, you
could try seeing whether you can find a newer version of the the DLL that
might support it. As long as the interface hasn't changed you should just
be able to replace the DLL file (but make a back-up first!)

Failing that, I'd see if you could get any image processing program to load
it and cut it down into a few pieces. You should then be able to load them
in as a multiple stack and align the different sections correctly.

Let me know how it goes,

Darren
