The problem while saving a TIFF file with 256 colors.
The resulting file is greater than when saving 24 bits.
I can send a file to Nigel.

Although the Advanced dialog box shows a completely different file size.

Hi

Some compression types, like JPEG, cannot be used with 256 colors, so an alternative compression is substituted. This can make the file size larger.

Compression is the same for all tested colors - LZW.

Try saving your file in 16, 256 and 24k colors and you will see the problem.

Hi

What is your code? The following gave me expected results:

  ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile('d:\KM num-bw.tif');
  ImageEnView1.IO.Params.TIFF_Compression := ioTIFF_LZW;
  IEGlobalSettings().AutoSetBitDepth := true;
  ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.PixelFormat := ie24RGB;
  ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFile('d:\KM num-bw_24bit.tif');         // 707 KB

  ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile('d:\KM num-bw.tif');
  ImageEnView1.IO.Params.TIFF_Compression := ioTIFF_LZW;
  IEGlobalSettings().AutoSetBitDepth := true;
  ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.PixelFormat := ie8g;
  ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFile('d:\KM num-bw_8bit.tif');          // 325 KB

  ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile('d:\KM num-bw.tif');
  ImageEnView1.IO.Params.TIFF_Compression := ioTIFF_LZW;
  IEGlobalSettings().AutoSetBitDepth := true;
  ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.PixelFormat := ie1g;
  ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFile('d:\KM num-bw_1bit.tif');          // 100 KB

My code is

ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile('d:\KM num-bw.tif');
Imageendialog - colors = 8bit - save
ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFile('d:\KM num-bw_8bit.tif');

Hi

The image (KM num-bw.tif) contains an unused Alpha channel, so ImageEn auto-fixes your TIFF properties to ensure it is compatible.

You can prevent this by removing the unused alpha channel (which we will do automatically in the next update).

If ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.HasAlphaChannel(True) = False then
  ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.RemoveAlphaChannel();
