My IDL5.3 manuals say that /UNSIGNED is used to read in unsigned 16-
bit integer data and convert it to
unsigned 32-bit longword arrays. That keyword was obsolete by IDL 5.3.

Are you quite sure of the format of the data in your TIFF file? Have
your tried QUERY_TIFF and inspected the resultant information
structure?

Perhaps you could post the TIFF file somewhere for us to investigate?

Cheers,

Andrew
