tiff corruption in conversion to powerpoint 2007

[LN Tanenbaum MD]

Most of the embedded tiffs in my medical imaging presenations were corrupted
? poor compression? when converted to 2007. If not corrected this could be
very problematic for anyone who uses tiff for presentation. there are
hundreds of images, most unique and irreplaceable, in each ppt file. any
solutions? plans to fix?

Honestly more concerned this factor will be incorporated into product
thanover the corruption of one file. I was able to retrieve an old version.
I will do as you suggest in a day or two. The images had lost dynamic range
as if poorly compressed. I could send you images pre and post faster.

Appreciate your efforts. Nearly all my presentations have beeen through
multiple generations of ppt. Is there a way to 'clean' them in 2003 before
trying 2007 again. (FYI) Will work your trial this weekend.

Did the following:… made new ppt file in 2003
Alt –i-p-f 2 images. One from a dig camera and one from efilm dicom viewer
ver 1.5.3 which was a dicom image exported as tiff.
Saved the ppt and exported the frame as png
Emailed to another pc that had the beta installed over 2003.
Opened the file (images looked fine) hit save (by accident..dont know the
new ribbon) and the tiff image (only) appeared corrupted (note the reduced
grey scale and ‘sheen’)
Exported the 2007 frame as png. Note that the corruption incident initially
was on my laptop and this event was on a new desktop.

I am pleased to see the issue is reproducible
