P: Photoshop 23.0 - cannot open TIF files, generated in other programs

Your developers need to make sure that their implementation is up to standard. Most of the time, a developer will just use a library that is used in hundreds of other programs, so it isn't that big a deal.

I've been  having incredibly frustrating time trying to get around this issue now. I have upgraded to 23.4.2 and I am still getting the invalid file error when trying to open TIFFs generated by our software. Before I ask our developers if they can (or will) implement changes as suggested by answers to this post, I'd like to make sure there's not something I am missing or that Adobe expects the latest releases (post 23.1) to completely take care of the problem.

Thanks,

Still having issues - spent considerable amount of time with support and no resolution. Images came from Epson ET-2600 printer/scanner. Some will open, some will not, resulting in this error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error". Using 23.4.2.

I've been doing computer graphics since JPEG was still new. So yeah there are loads of TIFF files floating around, some of them really old. That STILL doesn't change the fact that leaving a security hole open is not acceptable.

It seems that you never dealt with those old files prodused by programs/companies that do not exist on the market anymore. As for Adobe, it would not only be nice but required to make a simple one-click converter for such TIFFs to make them "good enough" for the modern Photoshop. Otherwise the suggested workarounds are disturbing the workflow.

Dealing with security issues is a good thing, not a bad thing. Forcing programmers to follow standards for interoperability is also a good thing.

Sounds alot like: We locked the doors to your house and destroyed the keyhole.  This is because some burglars know how to pick locks.  Please reach out to your multi-billion dollar homebuilder and ask they they invent better lockmaking protocols for future doors/locks.  In the meantime, if you need access, go ahead and break your windows or cut a hole in the wall.  And if you want to "restore" your doors/locks to a previous version (ya know.. the one that worked) well too bad - we made that impossible.  Surely you won't, out of desperation to finish end-of-year projects and secure your end-of-year bonus, have to resort to heading over to the 'bay of pirates' to obtain a 9-year-old copy of CS6 so you can open your doors.  That would be naughty and Santa frowns upon it.  Again - good luck persuading that multi-billion dollar corporations that it's *their* fault *we* broke your doors.  Surely they'll help you out ASAP

@ivank11134774 Apologies. Yes. 22.5.4 also gets this tiled tiff fix as well as security fixes. This page has been updated but may take a few minutes to show the updates: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/fixed-issues-history.html 

Is it fixed in 22.5.4?

Otherwise there is no information on 22.5.3 and 22.5.4 at Adobe site (at least I could not find it).

Thanks.

No. There will be no 23.0.3. Numbering skips from 23.0.2 > 23.1.
