Dear luggers,
I have few scanned images, most of which are in jpeg format, but some of them are in tiff format. The problem I am facing is with images stored in tiff format. (I have a P4 1.7 cpu, with 256 MB DDR memory using Intel mother board 845GB and Nvidia Riva TNT2 display card.)
Coming to the problem, while trying to view tiff files the system goes into spin. First of all the system memory gets completely used up.
I saved an existing PNG image into TIFF format using Gimp and got a 3.4 MB image which opened fine in gqview. I have a 770 MHz Celeron with 128 MB SDRAM and on-board i810 video chipset running Red Hat Linux 9.0 and imlib-1.9.13-12. Maybe there is some gotcha with the TIFF images generated by your scanner. Try sending the smallest problematic image to imlib developers.
