Can I use tiff format in a VB software?
Hi,
I'm buliding a software that handles photos. Users can upload photos from their own collection. I was told that it's impossible to have the user upload tiff, EPS, Gif and Pic formats. Is that true? I know that the gif is a problem but what about the rest? can I use API to solve the problem?
Please help me ASAP!!!
Thanks!

i dont know how to do this with a tiff image, but are you looking for code to display a gif image?
Hi
If you have MS office installed, you can use MS Office filters. Standard office package understand BMP, EPS, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PIC, WPG, WMF and EMF formats for import and BMP, JPEG, GIF and PNG formats for export. I've recently posted this totally undocumented staff at http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=4998. The most recent info I could found was dated by 1992(!). Also, if you're interesting on image processing (effects, filters etc, like photoshop) take a look on my sample at http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?lngWId=1&txtCodeId=41320
Unfortunatelly, export filters use _cdecl callback, which can not be implementing in VB. I found workaround for w9x OS, but still can not implement it into NT/2000/XP. Anyway all import filters (which you need) works fine.

You will have to convert these .TIF Files in .gif Format first using third party control.
