On a side note, Apple and Adobe SERIOUSLY need to get it together. I hope that helps someone and thank you to all the previous posters whose input helped me solve this problem on my end. Using Twain works just like image capture in terms of steps and its just a much better designed interface why a host of file saving and scanning options. And its how I will proceed going forward as the extra step having to use preview just to get to photoshop is 5 minutes more time then I want to spend on this issue. This worked without any issue on the first try. The new tif file opened in photoshop exactly the way its supposed to.Ģ- Do not use image capture! Instead I switched to using image acquire and scanning with TWAIN. Exporting file as a tiff and setting compression to either lzw or none. The result is the problem listed above.ġ- The preview work around.

Without getting in the weeds of whats is going wrong with it technically, the bottom line is something is going on with the sierra update( and it seems to be a recurring problem with every update since mac launched el captian) where image capture automatically applies a setting to tiff files which does not work in concert with photoshop. After isolating the various factors at play (machine:laptop, desktop etc, scanner, software, and scanning software) and combining that with various ideas offered in this thread, I have found the culprit is image capture. After reading the entire thread and all the replies I can offer a modest appraisal of my experience and solution to this VERY annoying problem, hopefully it will help someone as this is a bad issue that it seems is being allowed to fester. This is also after installing the latest high sierra update.

Sad to hear that the problem persists in High Sierra.ĭon't know if this is still a problem for original poster, but I literally just started having this problem as of yesterday. I really believe the problem lay in Image Capture and how it outputs the tiff files.

Does anyone know how to change how Image Capture settings for exporting? If I open the file in Preview and do an export turning off alpha channel and switching the compression to LZW, then the exported tiff seems fine. I would add the ON1 Photo RAW 2018 also fails to open the problem tiff files so it is not isolated to Photoshop.

This is not really a working solution, but an observation. If I save as JPEG and then open the jPEG and save back as a tiff, then that tiff is ok. If I save the preview as a tiff, that saved tiff is corrupt. It seems to happen with scanning to tiff, but jpeg or png. This is true across 2 computers and 4 scanners. If it is NOT rotated it captures properly. The one observation I can add is if the capture area is rotated, I get the problem. I have had this problem, and unsolved for about 1-2 years now. Image Capture might just decide to do this, but maybe there is an option that affects it. It is a much more normal LZW file, but still RGBA. We can see the second file was certainly made by Apple Image Capture but we cannot say what made the first one maybe it was even resaved by Photoshop, there is just no indication.

However, it may be that the software has an error meaning it does not correctly fill in 100% alpha for the full width.

BOTH files use RGBA format, so it is no surprise if we see transparency. The second file uses JPEG-format TIFF, which is really considered bad and obsolete. Predictor: horizontal differencing 2 (0x2) Very different from the first one posted. I believe the other apps which seem to show it correctly, just ignore the transparency. I believe Photoshop is correct, because the file has transparency. Photoshop 7.01 also shows only the left of the image, followed by transparency.
