Wronr reading of 16 bit tiff

I try scanning to 48bit (16 bit per channel) TIFF with VueScan, but GIMP reads it wrong, forwarding the data partially to alpha-channel. Probably, it is interpreting 3-channel/16bit image as 4-channel/12bit encoded. If not, I have no Idea where that 4-th alpha channel comes from (it is not blank, but filled with some ghost from original image). So probably other channels are also damaged.

There are also error messages appear: "Incompatible type for 'RichTIFFIPTC'; tag ignored" and
"Alpha channel type not defined for file C:\...\.tiff. Assuming alpha is not premultiplied."

Is there a way to read 3-channel 48-bit TIFFs to GIMP correctly?

Wronr reading of 16 bit tiff

Hi Andy,

please open an issue in the Gimp issue tracker and attach an example file: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues

Some scanners create 4-channel/12bit encodedimages. Then the 4th channel is an IR channel that is useful for reducing dust.

Regards, Tobias

You could also try scanning as PNG, and see if that works.

Afaik, only linear response (raw) mode supported by vuescan is tiff.
