Q: So a grad student was supposed to present some data during a group meeting, He loaded the PowerPoint slides on a PC but got the TIFF decompressor message instead of the graphics. Someone else in the room had a Mac laptop, but didn't have the adaptor for the projector. Poor guy had to draw on the board. Is there anything that can be done to solve this?
Goggling around found the most common cure was to open the offending image on a Mac with the original program and choose don't compress in some option box. Is there anything to be done after the fact (a PC program) or a way to set a Mac to never use QuickTime tiff compression?
A: When you're making your slides/word-documents/etc.- you don't want to cut and paste your graphic into your program. DO NOT TO THAT. The worst culprit is graphs from Mac Excel documents into Mac Word/PowerPoint. What you want to do is copy the graph into an image program like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and then save to a JPG file.
You need to format -->insert-->image-from-file into your documents (assuming MS Word/PowerPoint).
That.Is.All.There.Is.To.It.
Many Mac zealots blame it on that PCs don't support TIFF or that PCs suck or that... whatever.
