Tech Tip: Viewing TIFF files in Windows
October 18, 2005 on 12:10 pm | In Tech Tips |The default viewer for TIFF files in Windows XP is Microsoft’s built in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (if memory serves me right). Microsoft’s viewer is nice, but if I’m on the USPTO web page viewing patent images (in .tiff format) I’d like to do it from within my browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, FireFox) and not in a separate program.
Enter third party browser plug-ins. My favorite is AlternaTiff (free) which works in Internet Explorer, Netscape and/or FireFox.
There are others, for instance InfoGraph’s TiffViewer (also free).
If you are still using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer…try something else for a change. I bet you’ll like it.
