Comment 2 for bug 395668

Phatch uses PIL as a backend, which does not support such images:
In [1]: import Image

In [2]: im = Image.open('IMGP7504.tif')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IOError Traceback (most recent call last)

/media/16gb/Downloads/<ipython console> in <module>()

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/Image.pyc in open(fp, mode)
   1915 pass
   1916
-> 1917 raise IOError("cannot identify image file")
   1918
   1919 #

IOError: cannot identify image file

Also Phatch clearly states on its feature set that it only supports up to 32 bits.

So this is not a bug but a feature request. It might help if you find (python) image processing libraries which support 48 bit (imagemagick?!). We might integrate them in Phatch.

Thanks for reporting the bug anyway!
