tiff images disappear in preview

The file opens fine in Photoshop. The file is not corrupted, as this happens with other "new" files. It opened in Safari, but when I went to print from Safari there was just an itty-bitty preview at the top of the selected paper size, so that would not have worked. The image should fill the paper size selected.

The original Photoshop file was created by another party, and was emailed to my father and myself. I can open and manipulate the file in Photoshop. The file is not corrupted. I cannot print directly from Photoshop, as my father is in Ohio and I am in California. I have Photoshop and he does not. We are trying to print from his computer (because he has the wide-format printer), which has exactly the same operating system as my computer. We both "upgraded" to Big Sur 11.6.5, and that has not made any difference. Preview acts the same way for both of us. The preview goes away in blocks.

I am sure you are correct about Preview changing dramatically. It has not been to the best for us...

I have an older version of Photoshop, and it saved as a .PSB file, and Preview won't open that up.

After I opened up the .tif file in Preview, and it disappeared, I went to "Print" and saved it as a PDF at the bottom left of the dialogue box. That didn't work either.

I have a brand new M1 MacBook running Monterey, and the file opens up fine in Preview. So the "old" Preview works, and the "M1 new" Preview works, but it doesn't work for Big Sur 11.6.5...

Thank you for that insight. It seems the "sucky" software of Big Sur has been finally brought up to speed with M1 and Monterey. Now the problem is my father has an older MacBook Pro, around 2014, and the newest software it can run is Big Sur, so we're as up-to-date as we can get with the software. I hate to say it's time for a new laptop, but that might be what we're running into here...

Thank you all for your input to my problem! It is most appreciated. It was comforting to know that my father and I were not doing anything wrong, and that it is basically "sucky" Big Sur software ported from iOS. My father has decided to get a new M1 MacBook. His older MacBook Pro has served him well, but he's between a rock and a hard place with the Big Sur software, so the only real solution is a new MacBook. Thank you again!

Update: Today the creator of the TIFF files degraded the quality from 300ppi to 200ppi. Those 200ppi files did not disappear (Preview on Big Sur) and printed on my father's Canon 4100s printer just fine. As the files are bitmap/line art, the degradation from 300 to 200ppi is/was un-noticeable in the output quality. I told my father he would enjoy his new M1 MacBook laptop nonetheless.

Let me try the PDF option. I have tried the JPEG format, and that did not work in Preview either.
