In Photoshop Elements 4.0, if I try to open any one of a group of TIF files in edit mode, it gives me the message, "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered".
Then, a file that was several hundred kilobytes gets truncated to a size of 1K or 4K!!! Opening in another editor shows just vertical grey bars. I never told Elements to save the file – the simple act of trying to send the file to the editor causes complete loss of these images.
This happens whether I use "Quick Fix" or "Standard Edit". JPEG’s work just fine. I can open these TIFs in another editor and save as JPEG’s and then edit in Photoshop, so it doesn’t seem like there is anything fundamentally wrong with the TIF’s. They even originally rendered correctly as thumbnails when the directory was imported into Elements.
It doesn’t seem hardware (disk) related since I can edit other image types no problem.
