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

My guess is that all of those programs will be needing a security update to fix this problem.

Hi,

I have the same problem to open TIFF files created with other programs,
in Photoshop 23.

- TIFF files created with SNS-HDR, I can't open them. (Error: Could not be met because it is not the correct document type).

- Files processed with Capture One, and sent directly from the program, to editing in TIFF format, Photoshop opens them with Camera Raw.

-TIFF files with layers, generated with Affinity Photo, Photoshop no longer recognizes the layers.

Security Bulletins and Advisories

Once a fix is available, they should issue a CERT advisory with full details. That way other developers can see what the problem and fix are.

"Also Adobe haven't said what 'attribute' is missing.........."

Given that it creates a security issue I don't think they are likely to.

CS6 was quite good. Since 1st CC I can't remember one good release I'd like to be with for longer. Script Error

Yes Lumigraphics but unfortunatley that's no help to me as i'm sure if I email [ Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs ] and tell them to have a chat with Adobe about their Tif saving options (so I can carry on working) i'm sure I won't get very far! : )  The trouble is, each tile I download from Defra is 5000x5000 pixels @ 32bit and i'm stiching 16 of them together in Photoshop for an elevation map for each region i'm working on, but now I can't.

Also Adobe haven't said what 'attribute' is missing so I can't tell anyone what to change on their Tif saving options!

Adobe: "We could tell you Sir, but then we'd have to kill you. For security reasons".

Did you see the official explanation?

Ah, thanks Ambress. The thing is, i'm extracting HDR data from LiDAR data (which is delivered as a 32bit TIF) and then using the resulting Tif as a displacement map in 3D software, so I need as much 'bit-depth' as I can get from the RAW files.

Simon, 8-bit TIFs surely aren't the same as 32-bit TIFs, nor are 16-bit TIFs, but at least 16 is a little closer...if that's of any help to you, in the Workflow section of the Camera Raw Preferences, you can select a depth of 16 Bits/Channel so you don't lose quite as much image information.
