File size tiff limitation very frustrating
I get tiffs from a drumm scanner which are about 4gig in 16 bit (beyond 50000x50000 pixels). These tiffs cannot be opened in C1Pro vs 7. When will the compony recognize at least that this issue has to be SOLVED!

I can't say if it will.
Capture One, by design, is a RAW conversion software. This is our focus.
As a scanned tiff file is not a RAW, it has the potential to exceed the largest RAW format currently available (produced by the IQ180).
We make allowances to support tiff and jpeg files but can only do so to a manageable size based on the architecture of the software. Currently the size you have indicated is more than 4x the maximum size allowed by Capture One and if we were to support files of this size, in the software's current form, it would take minutes (likely several) to create a single workable preview from the original image.
As you already have a tiff, you've already done the conversion that Capture One is built to facilitate.0 -
I have the same limitation with some of the very large panoramic files that I generate.
However, I generally don't find this overwhelming, as Photoshop and Lightroom can open the final pano. I find CO to be the best for generating the pano, as I can best match exposures in adjacent files before they are stitched. Any fine tuning, like cloning out a defect, needs to be done in PS anyway. I do final processing with sharpening and clarity with Topaz plug-ins to PS anyway.0 -

Such a stupid answer! Of course a tiff from a drum scanner is a RAW file!!!! I do have a VERY fast machine with 128 gig of RAM so processing speed is not the problem for me.
So make a good software at least: HURRY HURRY!!0 -

I apologize if you do not think the factual and descriptive answer I provided is lacking. Unfortunately the nature of a "TIFF" file indicates it is, in fact, not RAW. Please look into the specifics of your scanner hardware as I'm sure the manufacture can explain this to you further.0 -
i give up. you are too stupid. 0 -
Perhaps I could try to mediate an issue that is caused by the limitations of English.
TIFF and RAW are file formats and are different formats. CO is designed to convert RAW from various cameras into JPEGs and TIFFs.
The scanner produces a TIFF, which then, untouched, is a "raw" file in the sense that it needs further post processing work in order to make it presentable.
But it is a "raw" file, not a "RAW" file.0 -

I would be quite interested to understand why it is so important to you to be able to open a large TIFF file from a drum scanner in Capture One.
What is it about the file that encourages you to feel a need to process it in C1 rather than another program that you have already identified as usable?
If you have found something very special I would like to know.

Dear NN6346.....,
My colleagues answer is 100% correct.
A camera RAW file (Capture One is a Camera RAW conversion application amongst other things) is..
'....derived from raw data that requires a demosaicing process to produce a useable file'
With the exception of Fuji X-Trans files for example, most digital cameras use a Bayer mosaic pattern to produce a full colour image, after being processed from raw. Each pixel only has a Red, Green or Blue value. The missing values must be made up via mathematical algorithms.
Your scanner file, while 'raw' in the sense that you wish to make further adjustments to it to your liking has not however, been in a such a state of requiring demosaicing.
Therefore, tools in Capture One that can extract the most data from the camera RAW file don't necessarily have the same benefit or impact with your scanned image.
With a file size you mention, you are better off working in PhotoShop, for example.
I would be interested to know what size your original film is?
