Multichannel TIFF images do not load in Picture.LoadFromFile method

We'are trying to do a comparison of a mutichannel TIFF image and the  Picture.LoadFromFile  method is not able to load them.   Is this a known issue/limitation?

Our initial post was misleading, sorry about that.

Indeed the Picture.LoadFromFile loads an empty Picture object, which is in fact unusable for other further operations (like Compare).

 

See our code snippet below:

var referencePic = Utils["Picture"];

var comparedPic = Utils["Picture"];

referencePic["LoadFromFile"](pathReference)//multichannel picture is not loaded!

comparedPic["LoadFromFile"](pathCompare)

if(referencePic["Compare"](comparedPic, false, threshold, false, colorTolerance))

 

Thanks.

Yeah. That matches what it seemed to be doing for me. Not loading, but not crashing, leaving you with an empty image object.

 

Not supported I'd say. Not many thing do seem to support them. Certainly, the other applications I tried (see above) didn't.

    Paint tools are too basic, Adobe Photoshop CS3 should be used to open these types of images.

    In our implementation, we ended-up using BeyondCompare to load and compare such images.
