Gibt es die Möglichkeit mit Photoshop CS 5 Big Tiff Formate zu öffnen?
Leider habe ich keine Chance auf CS 6 umzustellen.
Über Hilfe würde ich mich sehr freuen!
Vielen Dank

    Not sure why "Big 5 Big TIFF". Big 5 is either a sporting goods store, or a way of coding Chinese fonts.

    BigTIFF is a special kind of TIFF, not compatible with the old kind of TIFF.

    Apparently CS6 will open BigTIFF files BUT will not make them/save them. Files this size can only be saved as PSB.

    Before CS5 there may have been plug-ins to buy - but I can't find them in Google - and this post mentions a product: Big TIFF/tiled TIFF in PS Creative Cloud but unless it writes PSB files that's not a way in to Photoshop.

    Actually, BigTiff is an extension of the original tiff file format and is completely transparent to the original tiff. Once the writing size goes beyond 4 Gbytes, the old limit of tiff files, the output format switches automatically to BigTIff. For more information, go to BigTIff.org.

     

    For any Adobe product, it is simply a manner of switching to the newer libtiff library and recompling.

     

    Also, here is a translation of the original German post:

    "Is there any way to open Photoshop CS 5 Big Tiff formats?
    Unfortunately, I have no chance to switch to CS 6.
    I'd be happy for help!
    Thank you very much"

     

    Cheers.

    Not true, the BigTIFF header is different and a TIFF reader wouldn't be able to properly read it.
