Description Roland Roberts 2002-10-14 16:37:21 UTC 
16-bits/color TIFF images are correctly imported but are silently converted
to 8-bits/color.  Sven Neumann says this type of behavior is a bug....
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2002-12-14 20:08:11 UTC 
The plug-in should inform the user that information is lost due to the
conversion to 8bit. Should be as trivial as adding a call to
g_message() at the right spot.
Comment 2 Maurits Rijk 2003-01-10 22:04:51 UTC 
Solved in current CVS:

2003-01-10  Maurits Rijk  <lpeek.mrijk@consunet.nl>

	* plug-ins/common/tiff.c: trivial fix for #95737. Plug-in now displays
	a message when 16 bits per channel images are converted to 8 bits
Comment 3 Dave Neary 2003-05-13 07:07:41 UTC 
Fixed in 1.2:

2003-05-12  Dave Neary  <bolsh@gimp.org>

        * plug-ins/common/csource.c
        * plug-ins/common/jpeg.c
        * plug-ins/common/tiff.c: If no comment is set on a
        GimpImage when it arrives to be saved, don't attach one.
        Fixes bug #98490 and bug #98485

        * plug-ins/common/tiff.c: Alert user to loss of precision
        when opening a 16 bit tiff. Backport of Maurits Rijk's
        fix for bug #95737
Comment 4 Raphaël Quinet 2003-06-20 19:32:32 UTC 
The fix is part of the stable release 1.2.4.  Closing this bug.
