Open Tiff file error

[D60]

Hi Experts!

I'm trouble! I've scanned a paper with Colortrac SmartLF to a tiff format. Somehow I can not open it with Imaq Readfile.... 

Please check my attachment!

I made some tests, and when I tried to open this image file, Labview had an error, Not enouht memory.... ( 4GB I have).,.. I think the problem could be the image format. Could anyone suggest me a soultion for my problem?

I have only 2 options on scanner in Thresholded mode: - PDF and TIFF. Pdf could be the way, but I have to convert pdf to image (by Ghostscript) and I have to convert 2 time, ( first when I scan 600 dpi, and second time when I convert from pdf to image 600 dpi... and my opinion about is procedure is to much data can be loss... Am I right? 

My goal is to compare a scanned image to a reference ( given by pdf and converted to image type (png) with GhostScript) ...

GIMP can open your tiff file.

Thank you!!!!

Durnek,

the provided tiff file doesn't meet the specification properly. When I try to open it in GIMP, I got error message.

So there are corrupted blocks inside the tiff image.
