Im having trouble opening a color .tiff. <br/><br/>Calling Image.FromStream on the .tiff throws an "invalid parameter" error. <br/><br/>Calling Bitmap.FromFile on the .tiff throws a "System.OutOfMemory" error (the file size is 647k).<br/><br/>The .tiff itself is not corrupt, I can open it using MS Picture Manager or MS Document Imaging (although when I open it using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer I get a "preview not available" message).<br/><br/>The *.tiff comes from a scanned document; when I scan the document in black & white the .tiff opens fine, this certainly has to do with it being in color.<br/><br/>I am using Atalasoft controls on the web page where the image is uploaded. I can create an ImageInfo object from the .tiff and can see from it that the .tiff is Image Type Tiff, Pixel24bppBgr, 300 dpi. <br/><br/>If anyone has source code they use to succesfully open a color .tiff I would very much appreciate seeing it.<br/><br/>Here is a console app that demonstrates my problem. Both tiffs are at 300 dpi. The black and white succeeds on all 3; the color fails on all 3. This forum does not allow posting attachments so I cannot post the actual tiffs, but I imagine any color or b&w tiff would suffice to demonstrate the issue.<br/><br/><span style="color:#0000ff;font-size:x-small <span style="color:#0000ff;font-size:x-small <font size=2 color="#0000ff <font size=2 color="#0000ff
