Question

ColdFusion 9.0.1 Tiff Images

Documentation says that this version of CF should recognize tif images. I am trying to retreive images using imageNew from a url and CF 9 says that the .tif file is not an image. When I run GetReadableImageFormats() tif is not supported.

CF 10 works fine, but this install is still in testing so I am unable to upgrade at this time. I need this to work on my CF 9 legacy install.

How do I get CF 9 to support tif files? I can find nothing about this anywhere. So if someone has the solution please post?

Thanks!

    Interesting.  The documentation says:

    ColdFusion supports the following default image formats on Macintosh, Windows, and Unix operating systems:

    • JPEG
    • GIF
    • TIFF
    • PNG
    • BMP

    ColdFusion does not support the following image formats:

    • Animated GIF
    • Multipage TIFF
    • PSD
    • AI

    It's not a multipage TIFF you're working with is it?  It might help to show us what code you're using, a link to a sample TIFF file you're having this problem with, and the output of the GetReadableImageFormats() function.

    Thanks for the response!

    GetReadableImageFormats() returns: BMP,GIF,JPEG,JPG,PNG,WBMP

    Here is what I am trying to do: imageNew('https://my.yrcregional.com/image_cache/ONBASE/Reddaway/5235883193-DR.tif'); Simple as that. I know the image is valid because it work in my CF 10 test install just fine. I just am unable to upgrade to version 10 at this time.

    Sounds like a bug in GetReadableImageFormats().  You might want to file it at https://bugbase.adobe.com/

    I'm running CF 9,0,1,274733, Enterprise  edition on Windows 7 and I get this:

    GetReadableImageFormats: BMP,GIF,JPEG,JPEG 2000,JPEG2000,JPG,PNG,PNM,RAW,TIF,TIFF,WBMP
    GetWriteableImageFormats: BMP,GIF,JPEG,JPEG 2000,JPEG2000,JPG,PNG,PNM,RAW,TIF,TIFF,WBMP
