I have 4 raster images (aerial photos, actually) that I try and stitch with ICE, but I only get "Microsoft ICE was unable to stitch together any of the given source images. Unspecified error (0x80004005)
These are TIFF images approximately 70MB each. I tried it with two smaller (60MB) TIFF images and got the same result.
This error appears almost immediately after I add the images, it doesn't seem to have time to examine any of the images for content.
Thanks for the help.
My guess is that you are using a tiff format that ICE doesn't know how to load. We currently only load a subset of the wide variety of tiff flavors. A good rule of thumb is that if mspaint can't open it, then ICE probably won't either.
MSPaint opens the files just fine.
Here is one of the images:

What kind of TIFF file does ICE understand? These are 24bit RGB images.
Hmm, they were uncompressed. I re-saved with LZW compression andICE grinds on them for 30 seconds or so and then gives the same error.
The issue wasn't LZW vs. uncompressed, it was that there were some metadata tags that we don't typically see and were being a bit too picky about opening the file. We can fix that, but it sounds like you're now seeing a new issue :(
