Summary: Tiff files fail to normalise

Initial Comment:
I am currently running a couple of jobs through DPR which contain a large number of tiff files.

Quite a large number of the files fail to normalise - the console shows an error "can't find rows per strip field". If needed, I can get a more fulsome report from the console (it is hard to copy the text from a rapidly moving target)

I assume that this is because the tiff is somehow non-standard. I did a quick check, and all of the files open up in an image viewer.

I have not tried to normalise these files directly with Xena.

I will have to have a closer look at a sample of files to see if they can be provided for testing purposes - will let you know

The Imagemagick command, 'identify' can be useful as a tool for working out
what's up with an image file.

Message:
To grab the error text, start DPR from a command prompt and redirect errors
to a file. If you had a startup script called startdpr it might look like
this:

./startdpr 2> dpr-errors.txt

No need to chase run away characters.
