I was given a TIF that will open in Photoshop but won't import into FrameMaker 5, 6, or 7. It's a 16-bit greyscale image, not an 8-bit one.

Saving it as 8-bit, of course, works.

But, I've never seen a 16-bit greyscale file. Is it really that many shades of grey? What makes these, how new are these, and why won't FrameMaker support it?

Do formats other than TIF support 16-bit greyscale? Does PNG or BMP, par example?

If you want a look-see, it's at <http://www.pubsink.com/tif.zip>.

I'd appreciate some info and thoughts on 16-bit greyscale images.

Cheers,
