I'm not writing any 16 bit half float files - my output file is strictly 32 bit floating point. GIMP and PS and IrfanView are all happy to read my 32 bit output files.

The problem is that when written using PREDICTIVE compression, PS was happy to read it, BUT when it converted to 16 bit and then wrote a new TIFF, things went pear shaped.

That 16 bit output file was completely unreadable by all the applications I have except for PS itself.

What does libtiff's tiffinfo have to say about the new TIFF where things went "pear shaped"?

I am not sure what PREDICTIVE compression might mean.
