Importing a CMYK TIF image produced on a Power Mac with a Heidelberg/Linotype Scanner, I found that the progressbar does not work when reading the image, and at the end the image in rotated by 180 degrees. This was in GIMP 1.2 as delivered with SuSE Linux 7.1. (RGB TIFs produced on the same machine appear normal) Regrads, Ulrich P.S. Not subscribed here
