TIFF files are printed in landscape orientation in Windows Photo Gallery on a computer that is running Windows Vista Service Pack 1 or Windows Server 2008

Consider the following scenario:

• You have a computer that is running Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008.
• On this computer, you try to print a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) file that is in Windows Photo Gallery.
• In the Print Settings, you set the orientation for the print job to Portrait or Landscape.

In this scenario, the TIFF file is printed in landscape orientation even if you set the orientation to Portrait in the Print Settings. Therefore, the image in the TIFF file may be shrunk to match the size of the landscape format.
