I think it's Photoshop Spanks.
Costs a bomb load more than Paintshop but doesn't handle compressed tifs.

I have most of the current graphics programs including Adobe PhotoShop. And your right that PS, Corel and other higher end programs do not handle the type of compression used by SDOE. You can though LZW compress the tiffs. ACDSee and view will open the untiffed tiffs as will Gimp I believe. Will I dont use PSP, I do have a copy and will load it up to see how handles untiffed tiff's.Another note on PS. It wont open the saved BMP's from SDOE. Not sure why, I usually will edit those with Corel. I guess just like sims, you cant always get what you want. (sigh) ------------------

There are two programs I know of that open compressed tiffs, both free: Gimp for windows and IrfanView. The Gimp is kind of a Photoshop clone, and although it opens compressed tiffs it doesn't really save any tiffs. Irfanview is a fantastic image viewer that can read and write compressed tiffs, and it is relatively lightweight.

IrFanview, wow! This kicks booty! I've always shyed away from doing any terrain Tif work because of untiffing and so forth, but with this great 500k prog it's easy!Thanks for the tip! IP: Logged |

I've never had a problem with PSP and Tiff files. Let's face it as everything I have done for SDOE is has beeb in PSP 5 or 6 it must do the job OK.BTW Infaview is a neat little prog  ------------------

Infra View I've had for ages now, and it's real good for lookin at yout Tiffs and uncompressing them, but I still have to say that Photoshop is excellent for working on the skins, if you have some good plugins the effects you can creat are stunning, like the lil windows on the new Saratoga2 that I painted for Siggi yesterday. The prog is fast and easy to use, when I get the new graphics card from Siggi this week I'll do some screen shots of this ME262 I did with some wicked effects from Photoshop (my card wont let me put all the detail on so the pics would look crap right now)------------------

I have a convoluted path for .tif work. I open em in Gimp, but Gimp won't save em right for me, so I save em as bitmaps. Then I open the bitmap in Paint Shop Pro and work on it as a .bmp. THEN I open the finished bitmap in Graphics Workshop and convert it to .tif and it works in the sim!But I WAS just clicking on the .tifs in Paintshop, so maybe I'll try loading them instead. One thing, if I DID get a .tif to open in Paintshop, it would NOT save it. Weird. ------------------
