> I believe I have found a bug in ImageJ (1.51j8) when it reads RGB TIFF files with RowsPerStrip=1.
> These files are displayed correctly in other applications, including:
>
> - Microsoft Photos, Paint (Windows 10)
>
> - IDL (8.5.1)
>
> - ImageMagick "display" utility on Linux (6.7.8-9)
>
> This is the output of the Linux tiffinfo command on the file:
> This is the output of tiffinfo on this file. Note that Rows/Strip is 1 and Planar Configuration is separate image planes.
> *******************************
> TIFF Directory at offset 0x300008 (3145736)
> Image Width: 1024 Image Length: 1024
> Bits/Sample: 8
> Sample Format: unsigned integer
> Compression Scheme: None
> Photometric Interpretation: RGB color
> Samples/Pixel: 3
> Rows/Strip: 1
> Planar Configuration: separate image planes

> rgb2.png is a screen shot of how ImageJ displays this file. It is incorrect.
> rgb2_ImageMagick is a screen shot of how ImageMagick displays this file. It is correct. This is also how IDL, Photos, Paint, etc. display this file.

> I have not attached the test file because it is quite large. However, it can be found here:

http://cars.uchicago.edu/data/rivers/imagej/test_rgb2_001.tif>
> That directory also contains 2 other test files.
>
> test_rgb1_001.tif
> This is essential the same data, but with a more conventional TIFF layout of pixel interleave. It displays correctly in ImageJ, as shown by rgb1.png which is a screen shot of ImageJ display of this file.
> This is the output of tiffinfo on this file. Note that Rows/Strip is 1024 and Planar Configuration is single image plane.
