I have tried using either Irfanview or photshop7 to create the same tiffs from CR2s. All of them are a similar size and stored in the same folder. sometimes, if creating 2 slightly differently cropped tiffs from the source CR2, one will load and the other won't. I downloaded scribus 1.4Orc3, and the same problem crashes the program. although failing to load a tiff, it seems some connection is established because when i then go to "edit image", it opens the tiff in irfanview for me. also i noticed that when getting an image, in the preview, images that will load preview a thumbnail, and those that wont load dont preview a thumb, only a written description. so i tried to export to pdf, thinking the image was there but for some reason not visible, and the operation

Not sure what you mean by "the operation fails" -- the PDF won't be 
created? You get an error?

Sometimes I have thought an image failed to load when really it was only 
shown at default scaling -- try Adjust Image to Frame and see if that helps.

Otherwise, you might try getting a more up-to-date Scribus. You should 
be able to get 1.4.0rc2 at least, if not rc3. See if that helps -- you 
don't have to delete your 1.3.3.14 to add a more recent version.
