  • clipboard_ec49a9ae3cf82e6f9e8f90a21cc5e6d3a.png
Applies to
  • CONTENTdm 
  • Project Client
  • TIFF files
Resolution

CONTENTdm Project Client is unable to support TIFF files with a Alpha channel. A solution to this would be to use an image editor like GIMP to remove that Alpha Channel. If this is happening on a large number of objects than we advise to take a look at how the TIFF files are being created. If you need support you can send OCLC Support a file to further assist.
