Sean, I had a similar problem with Picts I'd created using ADPro's Pict saver and then sent to a service bureau to be made into slides. The bureau couldn't open them into either Photoshop or Powerpoint, though both these programs accept Pict files. I did some research and discovered that the Pict algorithm is in its second generation and the original is not compatible with some programs. It's possible that ADPro uses this outdated Pict saver in its program. As far as the Tiffs are concerned, are you saving them as compressed Tiffs. If you are, the viewer you are using my not know how to decompress them. Other than that I can think of no reason why your Mac shouldn't be able to view them. Tiff is a native Mac graphic format. You don't mention in your message how you are getting the images from the Amiga to the Mac. Are you using an Emplant, or are you using Maxdos? Or, (and if you are I want to know how you made it work), are you using a null modem cable and a netware program to network the two computers together? You also don't mention what CD rom reader you are using, or are you working on a PowerMac with built in CD rom capabilities? "Get info" is probobly reading the icon files which are text files. Perhaps the HD partition you are trying to load the images onto is actually full. Did you recently drag files from it into the trash, but forget to empty the trash? I know it's is a silly question, but this caught me once. I didn't know at the time that the files are still there, just the icons have been removed, and they stay there until you empty the trash. If the partition is too full to accept the images, the mac (in it's infinite wisdom) will simply fill whatever remaining space is left with the icons from the files you are trying to transfer. It'll look like the files are there, but only the icons made the trip! Anyway, sorry I couldn't be more helpful, and for the length of the reply. Good luck, and hello to Bill C.
