OK, Please Softimage, don't fix this bug, everybody seems to love it.
Just ignore me.
I just had a horrible day with nothing but bugs in different apps, so it may just be my bad mood that prevents me from fully appreciating it.
Maybe you could even improve the bug to create 16bit tiffs which are just one pixel in height instead of 3 so they would fit in one reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaally long row and can be viewed by 1D beings conveniently while sliding along?
Just forget it.
Over and out.

Why not use 16bit SGIs? They work fine.

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 :-)
