Re: [hylafax-users] "black" faxes in Tiff format that are fine in PDF format

Mine is the opposite...Microsoft's Document images is what I was using,
and it was black.  When I open with irfanview or adobe standard they
looked fine.

My company uses TIF format extensively for document archiving.  I know
that we have several volumes of documents that, when viewed with
Microsoft Document imaging appear correctly, but when viewed with
IrfanView appear to be white on black instead of black on white.  
Running them through the "negative" filter in IrfanView makes them view
correctly.  Strangely enough, going back and then viewing them with
Microsoft's document viewer they are still correct.  It's almost like
some TIF viewers are just incorrectly interpreting the color palette in
Group4 TIFs.
