[TriLUG] Photoshop

[Glenn Hennessee]

I've done a google search and found an article where someone else ran 
into the same problem. 
http://www.tawbaware.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?t=3099&sid=72808acb5733d29bdf4ca08f4c3c0cd1
The user ran the tiff through something called "tiffcp" (no idea what 
that is) to get the file size under 2 GB and photoshop would open it 
then. So it appears to be a hard file size limit of 2 GB.

A document at http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331939.html
addresses this problem and says that the 9.0.1 update fixes the problem 
but that's what your client has! Have them double check the version and 
if it is 9.0.1, maybe reinstall the patch, then they should call Adobe 
for support.

Sorry I'm not of more help.
