Sorry, this IS nonsense.
The image comes out with a completely wrong aspect ratio.
In some other apps I'm able to correct it by hand after importing (DFX+) but neither Photoshop nor After Effects accept the crazy values, which is not their fault IMO. Even Softimage ImgConv spits out three lines of errors per image - although it is able to correct it.
This has simply nothing to do with Adobe.

I do lot's of high res illustrations currently which need 16Bit for smooth gradients and this Bug is super annoying after a while.

Please tell me that it is gone in 5.1 :-)

You know,  not that I am saying that this shouldn't be addressed by any

16-bit or floating point tiffs that are generated in XSI is photoshop.
Almost all of the other software we use that read in 16-bit tiffs, with
exception of Photoshop. So I might go out on a limb and say that the issue
is probably more of a Adobe issue than Soft. However the likelyhood of
getting Adobe to address the issue is probably more far fetched.

ahh well thats my nonsense moment of week.

One question:
Are the problems with 16 Bit Tiffs solved in 5.1?
While I can fix the images with ImgConv, I would love to spare that extra
step...

Thank you!
