Unsupported Color Space?

Never had this error before:


Thanks in advance,

That some sort of image from a scanner or digital camera (I know Fuji digi-cams in particular have this issue a lot)? Sometimes, you'll get importing/twain programs that use alternate schemes for TIFF images, which cause these problems with Photoshop. If you can re-save the image, possibly remove LZW compression.

You could also go into the color settings (in PS6 on windows, its under the edit menu), and fool around with the profile mismatches option.

If you get totally desperate to open it, you could always try to view the file with an external graphics viewer and print screen/paste into photoshop and re-align the parts of the image if its bigger than the screen. (again, if a mac is anything like windows).

Well the problem is, that IS the original image. I didn't make it on this computer. I'm cleaning out a server for a local county, and they have 100s of these huge tiff files on there, and we don't want to delete them until we know what they are. I mean, if they are some secret government photos, then I probably shouldn't delete them right?

Yup, more than likely they are .tif files saved in a TIFF YCC format....which Photoshop does not support yet due to several problems. Either find the software from the camera/scanner that produced the file
ORRRRR
Try a 3rd party viewer like Fuji's EXIF viewer ....or the one from Kodak (forget its name) to open and save out as a "standard" .tif file....then you'll be able to open it in PS

I think Chris Cox answered a question about this on the adobe forums a while back... you might check there.

Turns out they are all multi-page TIFFs. Just property assessments with photos. But it's time those people learned how to scan. They scanned a document for the 1st page and scanned it at 770 ppi. It's like 6500 x 5000 pixels. Sheesh.
