Archive Link : Display images in TIFF format

[Andy Curtis]

Rik
 I found this interesting as my last contract was at a site where they were 
looking to do the same thing. In the end they did not use workflow and 
bought a bit of software built by a third party. But I believed that the 
scenario your suggesting should have been the way for them to go.
 So I chatted with the chap here about your TIF issue. We looked at 
http://www.alternatiff.com/howtoembed.html to see how to display tif files 
in the browser.
 He tells me TIF's are not a std supported file format for the Browser and 
the above link has an embedded tif, when the page opens it pops up a window 
asking to Open/Save the tif file. If we open the PC has a file extension 
association to Microsoft Office Photo Editor and this application opens the 
tif (similar in the way pdf's are opened by Adobe Acrobat). We believe that 
you have configured your PC incorrectly so it does not associate TIF with an 
application like photo editor. 
 Alternatively do a google search and you will find Browser Addins for 
displaying Tifs in the browser.
 Hope it helps .... Andy Curtis
