Why can't I open .TIFF files on my Apple

I scanned them on a Windows machine, added them to a .zip, put them on my FTP, downloaded them onto my Apple.What'd I do wrong?

    what program are you trying to open them in?

    Could it be a problem with the unzipping on the mac?
    Maybe .sit is the preferred format?

    Jeff, tried to open them with Photoshop. That failed. Tried to open them with Viewer so I could take a screen shot. That failed. Tried Adobe Illustrator. That failed.

    I'll just redo them tomorrow in the Mac lab because I'm really out of options at home.

    Sometimes when taken from a PC they need to have an extension to recognise what file they are ie: photoimage.tif[/b]
    So maybe add the '.tif' extension if it isn't there.
    Helps it to work out what kind of file it is. Sometimes this works...

    They all have that extension.

    If photoshop won't open them your probably screwed. Try going to photoshop and doing file -> open instead of dragging the file to the ps icon. Also graphics converter might do the trick.
