Tobias, Here are the answers to your questions. >Can you upload somewhere such a file? An incomplete scanned file, which is a bit larger has been uploaded here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b08c72g/n/Temp00395.Tif
The file size is 3.72 Meg and Pixel size is 21600 x 36000 at 1BPP. >Which operating system do you use? Ubuntu 9.10 32 Bit with all the latest updates & Gnome Desktop. >Which exact Gimp version do you use? GIMP Ver 2.6.7 included with Ubuntu Install ISO. >Are there any warnings or errors? No Warnings or errors, but the screen does go dim and GIMP just hangs, eventually wanting a FORCED Quit. I have installed Irfanview in WINE 1.0.1. I have just tried opening this file in Irfanview 4.23, then saving it to Temp00395a.Tif, and then I can load this new saved Tif in Gimp Ver 2.6.7......but it takes forever. Computer is a Compaq Laptop CQ50-139NR with Core II Duo with 3 Gig RAM and 500 Gig Drive, with Ubuntu on a 127 Gig Partition.
