I am working with Windows 7 x64 on a full HD monitor, Intel i5-2500K and 8 GB RAM, currently available 5,5GB. I tried to extend photoshop's memory usage and scratch disk settings as following:
Word taxes systems, and big graphics apply an even heavier tax. Further, there are many variations of TIFF, so many, in fact, that sometimes a heavyweight like Photoshop cannot open a TIFF that might be openable by some other (usually cheaper) program. Nov 10, 2011 Photoshop CS3 can't open TIF. TIF is handy for the multipage aspect if you need document ordering inside the file. That example TIF is a Old-style JPEG (in TIFF) this may be the problem that photoshop is having. If you don't need multipage then go either PNG if you have lots of smooth colour areas or JPEG.
But as I try to open a 60MB TIFF file with compression, dimensions 7040x9860 (resulted by scanning with 1200ppi) I still get the mentioned message:
Why are 5,5 GB not enough to open a 60 MB file? I don't have any clues!
Update: I understand that 60 MB compressed would take much more place after decompression, which must be done by opening the file. That's why a just tried the following: I scanned the same document but chose uncompressed TIFF. The resulted file is approximately 200 MB and it can be opened by Photoshop! Well this causes more confusion...
Update 2: Here's the Photoshop's about dialog for those who are asking:

I had the same problem on an 8GB machine and a 12GB machine with a 12MB TIFF using PsE. I opened the file in GIMP which told me the file had a 'bad null bit' (but opened it anyway). I exported this image back to hard drive with a new filename, and this GIMP output opened in Adobe fine.
