Opticon Viewer image problem

We had a problem reported that some colour Tiff images that we produced were not viewable in Opticon.

After a lot of diagnostics on the images, we found a few JPG Colour Tiff images that had been produced with Motorola (big endian) byte order and not Intel (Little endian) byte order.

 It appears that a lot of viewers can cope with this type of Tiff (including irfanview) but Opticon version 3 does not appear to support it giving the error “Unable to open the following image (11011): [path]” Where the path is correct.

Anyhow, we reproduced the tiffs with intel encoding, and they worked just fine.
