missing pictures in My Pictures

[Guest]

Hello,
I have suddenly found that several of my pictures stored in folders in My
Pictures have gone missing. The details are still there such as the size and
the fact that they are Tiffs but they will not display. The strange thing is
that they will open fine in Photoshop but not otherwise. This is very
frustrating.Hoping someone can canhelp.
Thanks.
John

Sorted, silly me. It seems simply to be that the pictures in question were
16 bit black and white and the Windows programs Microsoft Office Picture
Manager and Windows Picture and Fax viewer won't read 16 bit black and white.
Microsoft Office Document Imaging will, and of course so will Photoshop.
I have tried duplicating the offending pictures to 8 bit and
the 8 bit ones open fine and I am no longer accused that they are missing.
You live and learn.
Thanks for your patience.
