Consider the following scenario:

• You connect a Windows Vista-based or a Windows Server 2008-based computer to a multifunction peripheral (MFP) device.
• You set the MFP device to support the tiff-single-g4 format.
• On the computer that is connected to the MFP, you try to import an image from the MFP device. To do this, in Windows Photo Gallery, you use the Web Services on Devices (WSD) scan function that is included with the MFP device.

In this scenario, the import operation fails.

Consider the following scenario:

• You use Windows Photo Gallery on a Windows Vista-based computer to print an image to the Windows XPS Document Writer.
• The image in question is an Adobe RGB profile-embedded TIFF image.

In this scenario, the colors may be incorrect. Specifically, the output-image color map may not match the expected color map.

When you use Windows Photo Gallery or Windows Explorer in Windows Vista to edit the metadata for an image file that uses the RAW image format, the file may be corrupted. The problem only occurs if the image file uses the TIFF image standard and was copied to the computer from either of the following digital SLR camera models:

• Canon EOS 1D
• Canon EOS 1DS

For example, this problem may occur in the following scenario:

• In Windows Photo Gallery or in Windows Explorer, you right-click the image file, and then click Properties.
• You click the Details tab, and then you change the information in any of the listed fields.

In this scenario, the file is truncated and cannot be restored. The image file can no longer be viewed.

Note: The metadata of an image file includes the following items:

• title
• subject
• author
• date details

When you view several multipage TIFF files in a row by using Windows Photo Gallery in Windows Vista, you may experience slow system performance. Additionally, memory usage increases significantly.
