Hi Luc-Eric,
your method works, but imf_copy also shows error messages. The problem seems to be related to the Y size. Photoshop also reports something about "Unexpected end of file". Together with the absurd aspect ratio in Digital Fusion, it looks to me as if just some size info is written wrongly to the file?
If only imf_copy had an interface... I hate commandline tools ;-)
It has quite some nice features and could act as a little image processing/viewing/converting tool in the Softimage arsenal if it had a GUI and some drag and drop batch processing abilities.
Well, maybe in version 6? :-)
And would it be possible to have all the supported image formats directly in XSI? I often use LZW compressed tiffs to spare some HD space and network load. Alpha channel files can be reduced a lot with simple RLE...
Thank you very much!

Try converting the files at the command-line to change the compression. For example :
imgconv 16bitRender.tif fixed.tif -sequence 1 10 -compression lzw

Conversation: 16-bit sgi or tif problems
Subject: Re: 16-bit sgi or tif problems
Can you open the files in Photoshop or After Effects? 16bit
tiffs from 4.2 worked fine with those apps, from 5 they don't.
I only have DFX+ so I can't use 16bit there or export it as 16 bit.
I call that broken ;-)
Cheers,
