Issue with a TIFF file in a style

[jienense]

Hello everyone,

I am creating a style and using a .tiff file (among others). Creating the style causes no issues, but when I apply it, the .tiff file does not appear, even though the system shows it as present.

Before creating the style:

After applying the style:

Try converting the TIF to a PNG - it works then.

Right, but the intention was for it to be editable—hence the TIFF file. It supports that format in principle, so why the error?

You will have to ask Igor. It is not a straight forward TIFF. It has transparency.

Hi,

I confirm the issue with this TIFF image. We'l check the code tomorrow. Thanks.

However, I recommend you optimize this TIFF file. Because this file is 50 MB for 2213 x 1246 image! After converting to PNG (lossless compression) you get only 1.2 MB. A good optimization for the slide style.

Thanks for confirming the issue. I’ve reduced the TIFF file as much as possible, but the problem persists. I know the file size is much smaller in PNG and doesn't cause issues, but if I want to share it with others so they can edit it, PNG wouldn't work.

So I am guessing you want that particular style and edit and a normal text box in O & A would not work. The other thing is will the viewer be actuaslly able to edit a TIFF file either with access to software or knowledge? If you just replaced the Image in O & A they could add the text they liked?

Honestly, I don't understand the advantage of TIFF over PNG for this particular case?

One more idea for your style. It's possible to create a slide style with a text object which can be changed when user apply your style.

You need to select a Text object, call the popup menu and choose "Text comment". Then create a slide style.

Yes, the choice of fonts and decoration will be limited.
