Re: TIF image files

The Apple Quicktime plug-in will display TIFF files, but it's no 

guarantee that every visitor will have even that (some of us despise 

Quicktime and Apple's Jewish-mother nagging about it ;-).  GIF, JPEG, 

and PNG are your viable choices.  If you need a decent image manager and 

converter, I might suggest Cerious Software's ThumbsPlus.

Mark and Pid are right, Targa's Tagged Image Format
File [ .tif is aka .tiff ] is not supported in
browsers. It is the second most densly packed with
information image format. [ RAW being the highest data
in the file ] You are far better off to use png, jpg
or even gif instead, far smaller file sizes and every
browser can display them.

to use tif on a website, you would need to use a
graphics app embedded into the page to display them,
if that particuar app is on the client system. [ good
luck there, I do not know of a single graphics app
that you can find on every system guaranteed ]

Hello all,

I really need a nudge in the right direction.

I have some TIF files that I transferred from a
windows box to a linux
box over a Samba connection.   I cannot get Apache
to display the
file.TIF  with this simple .htm :

<html>

<body>

<img src="file.TIF">

</body>

</html>

When I convert it to a PNG with Win Paint, and then
copy over, I can get

Apache to show it.  

This works:

<html>

<body>

<img src="file.PNG">

</body>

</html>

Does anyone know why I can't get TIF files to
display on Linux / Apache?
Am I missing a conversion?  a config in .conf?  Any
help is appreciated.
Thankyou.
