The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Unable to view/open large .TIFF image online/image viewer

Asked by matrix1324 in Image Correction Software, Web Browsers, Photos & Graphics Software

Greetings Experts,

My designer has made an .Tiff image using photoshop, When the file is saved with the layers, the file is nearly 300mb. I have copied this file to my web server. When go to that URL the page (using FireFox) takes its time to load, as it is a large file, but when it finishes loading, you just see the quicktime logo with a " ? " inside the logo.

We have also tried using another copy but without the saved layers which cuts down the file size to just over 3mb. This option is not what we want, but for testing purposes, the image does not appear in the browser window but does prompt to download it.

The only thing on this URL is this one image... nothing else.

Now at the same time, we are able to open this image on the designers laptop in photoshop..no problem. But if we try to open it using iphoto or Windows image viewer, it says no preview available. If i try to open it in paint i get an error "paint cannot read this file, this is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported."

I came across a site that said to try downloading IrFanview. I did this and on my windows machine i am able to open the image.

Back to the URL, I tried using IE 7, when i went to the URL it asked me to save/download the image.  I did this, and when it completed it opened windows Image Viewer, and once again said no preview available. I then went to IrFanView and made it the default viewer for .Tiff files, went to the URL again in IE 7, downloaded the image, and it opened successfully in IrFanView. At the same time although that was successful, i do not want to have to download it, i just want it to show in the browser window. However just to note this image dimensions is 11x17, maybe this is why it cant sow in the browser window?

Please let me know if you need more information and thank you in advanced.
