yet another signlab 8 dilemma

SignLab v8 installed in which version of Windows?

 

Question: Do you have a USB stick or a memory card plugged in that isn't usually plugged in when you run SignLab?

If so, save the file to your hard drive and remove the stick/card and try again and see what happens.

I remember my SL8 doing this very thing, and it always happened when I had the photo card plugged in. It took me the longest time to figure out that it was the culprit.

As to why it happens, I'm still completely baffled.

Could it be you anti virus shutting it down?

 

Something is wrong with your SignLab. Remove the installation and install it again (clean install)

 

Something fishy going on with that (those) tiff file(s).
Embedded layers/ gradient masks/other insidious PS type doin's.
Who uses tiff? Jpeg is fine - and it comes with everything flattened.

But the easy workaround for this, if I needed it, (and I have the exact same setup as you - SL8 with WIN7 64), would be to open the recalcitrant tiff in my viewer (Irfanview), press ctrl+C, switch to Signlab, press ctrl+V).
It even strips out those nasty embedded color profiles.

 

Did Bob give you permission to use his vocabulary?
