I just checked the Corel website regarding this.
It looks like you need
version X to get 16 bit support, which is what the
istD TIFFs need out of
the camera.
TIFF straight out of the *istD are 8 bit.
It's hard to say exactly what Don means by
useless, but it sounds like it's more
than a colourspace issue, especially since in
camera TIFFs are either Adobe RGB
or sRGB as the native profile, both should be
supported profiles in PSP, though
it looks like .psd support is poor.
The problem is that colorspace in a PEF is denoted
by file name conventions not
embedded, so the recipient has to know that an
underscore preceding the name
indicated that the assumed colorspace is AdobeRGB
and assign it manually, a
crap system really.
In any case if misinterpreted it would just make the
image appear a bit drab
not totally screw it up. The in camera TIFF files
are also uncompressed and
hence should be easily read by any reasonably
capable software, so I really
don't know what the problem could be.
