Just FYI, the typesetting program pdftex (part of the TeX typesetting suite) has dropped support for Tiff files for just this reason. There are too many competing variants out there. As of now regular TeX and LaTeX support Encapsulated PostScript only and pdftex/pdflatex support PNG, JPEG and PDF format (the latter is easily derivable from PostScript files via a utility.) Printers however still accept Tiff files for cover art etc. Go figure! -- John Culleton Short list of publishing/marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
