I have a TIFF image that will open correctly in ImageJ. However I have used hugin to correct the perspective in this image, then cropped it using GIMP, saving it as a TIFF file each time. After these transformations, when I attempt to open the image with ImageJ I get a TiffDecoder error:

"Unsupported interleaved SamplesPerPixel: 4"

I have tried flattening the image in GIMP (to get rid of transparencies), but it still will not open in ImageJ. If I save the image as a .jpg file I can open it with ImageJ, but I need to retain it in a lossless format.

What does this error mean, and how may I transform this image in a lossless fashion so I can open it with ImageJ?

Thankyou,
