https://github.com/imagej/imagej-legacy/issues/89Well, the channel tool gave me some (hypothetical) insight. Using Fiji
to convert embryos.jpg --> embyos.tif produces a 3 channel composite
image when dragged onto the Fiji icon and it displays as expected. A
.tif file produced with the GIMP, however, seems to produce a 4 channel
composite image when dragged onto the Fiji icon. If this 4th channel is
checked it acts like an alpha channel that is masking the 3 color
channels. The result is an empty image frame. The GIMP image does
display correctly if the 3 color channels (1-3) are checked and the
fourth channel is unchecked.
Not knowing the details of .tif format importer, I leave this behavioral
clue to those who are more knowledgeable.
