HELP!! VW8.5.2 CANT IMPORT LARGE 100 MB TIFF FILE


Recommended Posts

I've imported lots of large tiff files, but never one quite that big. it may be simply a matter of size. Here are some ideas for reducing the file size.... Try PICT format and use the "Import PICT" command. If that doesn't work, try opening the file in a graphics program such as Graphic Converter or Photoshop. If you can do that, try reducing the number of colors, which can have a big impact on file size. Sometimes an image will be saved in 32bit color, but only use a few colors, so you can reduce the number of colors without affecting the image. Also you can lower the resolution (even small changes in resolution have a big affect (effect??) on file size). We import topographical maps that are 72 & 250 dpi and they still look OK. If that doesn't work or if you must have the higher resolution, you could try cutting the image into pieces, importing the pieces individually, and putting them back together in VectorWorks. Good luck!
