I might be wrong about this but I believe GIMP will read multi-page TIFFs but cannot write multi-page TIFFs. > What is the best way to solve this problem? When you open the TIFF, select open to layers. The first page will be the bottom layer. Turn off visibility of all the other layers and make sure the bottom layer is active in the Layers dialog. Then you can edit that page. When you save, save it as a multi-layered PNG. Then use ImageMagick's "convert" tool to convert it to a multi-layered TIFF: convert file.png file.tiff That should do it (I think), though I can't vouch for the quality of the conversion. -- Michael J.
