Good ideas. First, the file was saved from Photoshop as a TIFF, no
layers,
8-bit, RGB, no compression, with an embedded ICC profile. It's as
basic of a
file as I can imagine. However, I tried the tests you suggested from
Terminal and I get the following:
FleisherK:~ k-fleisher$ file /Desktop/test/242-142.tif
/Desktop/test/242-142.tif: cannot open (/Desktop/test/242-142.tif)
FleisherK:~ k-fleisher$ tiffutil -info /Desktop/test/242-142.tif
Error: Could not open file /Desktop/test/242-142.tif
FleisherK:~ k-fleisher$ sips -g format /Desktop/test/242-142.tif
Warning: /Desktop/test/242-142.tif not a valid file - skipping
Error 4: no file was specified
Try 'sips --help' for help using this tool
I'm not sure what to try next. Thanks again for any help...

Oops. You wrote: 'Desktop/test/...'
I wrote: '/Desktop/test/...'
You probably want 'Desktop/test...' or '~/Desktop/test/...'
so that it's looking for the file in a subfolder of your Desktop folder.
The leading '/' makes it look for a Desktop folder in the root
directory.
That's why it doesn't see ANY file.

When I run the script from terminal, I get the following:

identify: Not a TIFF file, bad version number 10752 (0x2a00).
`Desktop/test/242-142.tif'.
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks!
It seems to be saying that it's not a tiff file.
What do you get if you try:
file /Desktop/test/242-142.tif
and/or:
tiffutil -info /Desktop/test/242-142.tif
or:
sips -g format /Desktop/test/242-142.tif
[ Just to verify that it's not some problem with your build and
configuration
of ImageMagick. I haven't played with I-M lately, but I recall
it was
a bear to get built properly with all of the libraries I required.
If one or more of those programs also say it's not a TIFF, then I
would
tend to believe it. ]
