Hi Larry, that can mean allmost everything. At first you should verify that a other program (like ImageMagic or PaintShop) can read the TIFF. Second you may look what kind of TIFF (compressed - how, uncompressed, RGB, Palette, Grayscale) it is. You should also look if your MIRA program can be forced to create a certain type like "uncompressed RGB" instead of the actual one. Hope that helps Jens Larry Gorski wrote: > > I am running Version 4.0 and I am trying to import TIF files. As a > test, I created a TIF file by converting an existing graphic file.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
