Problem batch uploading a tif file

[enquirer64]

Have tried to upload a .tif file which is within the parameters for tor the image - eg file size, type etc. Having uploaded it to the directory when I go through the process of in Coppermine to bring it up (List of New Files) I get know thumbnail  visualisation in the directory. If I still try and force an upload I get the response PB. If I change the file to a jpg it works fine. Obviously there is a size difference but the tif is only 230KB and the upload max is 1MB. Even if I reduce the file size down to 120KB I still get no image. I use GD2 for resizing.

I am using Firefox on a Mac.

Any help much appreciated.

I could be wrong, but AFAIK GD2 is not working with TIF files.

I understand though that GD is generally preferable to ImageMagic? Isn't this the case? Since I suspect users will only want to upload tif/tiff/jpeg and jpg files should I convert to  a different system?

GauGau : GD can't handle TIF. Only ImageMagick may be able to handle it.
TIF is uncompressed and not suitable for the use on a webserver / the internet, I recommend converting it on your client into a suitable format (jpeg).

p.s. Typing in TIF at the Search page would have gotten you the same answer.
