Tiff viewer - Is there one?
I'm scanning and then uploading a lot of old photos. I'm saving them as Tiff images.
When I view my folders through the web ReadyNAS Admin page, I can see JPEG images, they populate, but the TIFF images don't. The just show up as a file, without and image.
When I click on the image, a popup comes up, but it's blank. The Tiff files show up on the right, just like they would if I were clicking on a JPEP, but it's just a blank page. The image doesn't populate.
I can see them using the ReadyCloud app on my phone, but I don't know how to see them through the web. I would like to be able to view the images on my computer. Is there an app or a client I can download, or some other way I can view what's in my drives, without having to download each TIFF to see what it is?
Thank you!
Viewing them through Safari - latest update.
Chrome - latest update.
I have a ReadyNAS 214 (four 4TB drives)
Firmware: 6.10.8
Running RAID 5

I know for Chrome you need a tiff viewer add-on -- it has no native tiff viewing capability.
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately you have to download each Tiff file to view it using the Tiff viewer.
So, you're saying viewing the files in Safari / Chrome, there's nothing I can install or download that will let the thumbnails of Tiff files appear, just like JPEG files do?
Bummer.
- irfanview has a batch conversion mode so you can have a jpg version of the tifs without too much work. I used to use this a lot to manually generate thumbnails for my large photos.
