Hi Kris,

what does "about 2 gigabytes" mean? Is it below 2 GB or above? Although 
the TIFF standard uses 32 Bit pointers and thus defines TIFFs up to 4 
GB, several of the TIFF libraries available use "signed pointers" and 
therefore can't open stacks larger than 2 GB.

But of course the file could be simply corrupted and therefore can't be 
read by Metamorph.

Perhaps you should try to open it with other software (ImageJ, Photoshop).

In our applications we use a special modded TIFF library to open large 
TIFFs. You can download a trial at

If your problems persist we could have a look on your data. Just write a 
mail if interested.

Best,
Christian
