Lightroom and corrupted tif files.

For some reason, now when I right click on tif file in windows I'm getting a pop up box that states;
Explorer. Tif:corrupt file.
This applies to all tif files on all drives.
I first noticed this with imported to lightroom from raw pef files, processed and then exported from light room.
it also includes files opened from Pentax RAW files, processed with ACR and CS2 then saved as tiffs.
any ideas?
Simon.

No. I'm running XP and my files are Pentax PEF raw files and tiffs created from these.
Tiffs opened from a cd are fine - as are tiffs copied to my PC from cds. It's as if windows has decided that there is a problem with all tiffs on the machine.
double clicking them - they open fine in CS2.
If I right click to get the menu - then the error message clicks in.

  • Corrupted tif files

    Hi All,
    I was working on a big tif file 2g at size, I edit it with photoshop through adobe lightroom. Due to unknown reason, when i tried to save the file in photoshop, and I was informed the file is non-accessible. It ends up the file is disappeared from hardisk and I used some recovery software to retrieve the tif files. However, it seems a corrupted tif files which can't open in Photoshop or Irfanview.
    the error message I got from photoshop is 'could not complete your request, because it is not the right kind of file'.. it is a tif file with layers.
    I had tried to google and search, it seems there is no way to repair a corrupted tif files.
    Do I have a chance to restore it using any method?
    thank you.

    I'm sorry to hear of your loss of data.
    Generally speaking, lost image data is usually really lost, especially if any recovered files you've identified to possibly contain your images are not opening in the ways you've tried...
    Just basic stuff you've probably already thought of:
    Have you made sure to rename files you're hoping to be TIFFs with the .tif file extension?
    Did you File - Save As your file anywhere else?
    Did you do a system backup that might have saved an earlier copy of the file to external media?

  • Corrupted TIF files restore

    Hello
    as i was working on a TIF file in Photoshop, my computer unexpectidly restarted
    then, when i opened my TIF work in Photoshop, an error message appeared "Could not complete your request beacause of a p^roblem parsing the TIFF file."
    Looks like my file is corrupted, no ?
    here is a .png version of the corrupted picture
    the below half is totally black and a multicolor line devides the pic on the half
    Can i send the .tif file to Adobe team so that you restore it ??
    it seems Windows hasn't made a backup of the file before the accident
    Here is a look of a previous .png version to see what it supposes to look like
    Thanks for your help

    Yes, that file appears to have been corrupted on disk, probably beause it wasn't finished writing when the computer restarted (BTW - that probably means you have some defective hardware in the system, you need to get that looked at).
    It is unlikely that anything more can be recovered.

  • Lightroom defaulting to TIF files from DNG

    How can I make LR3 not automatically create a TIF file when I open a DNG for the first time? I don't want this to happen. I've checked every preference I can find and can't find any settings to change this. When I try to do a batch run from CS4 on the DNG files, because LR3 creates a TIF files simultaneously, the batch next wants to run on the TIF file LR3 created in the same folder as the DNG files! Thanks for your help.

    Upgrade to CS5 and the most recent version of Camera Raw...since you are using CS4, Lightroom can't pass the DNG to ACR for processing and must process it firts (and save it) before passing it to Photoshops. There's no way around this...

  • Corrupt TIF files? How to recover?

    Hello there Gentlemen and Ladies.........
    I have recently had to recover 4000dpi scans which are TIF
    from a erased disk (sad and painful), each scan took me 10 minutes
    to complete , and now i have 130mb TIF files which Photoshop
    cannot open, because it says they are not TIF format...!!!
    I know they were fine before my recovery operation. clearly something
    has gone wrong, what tool could uncorrupt the TIF files back to normal?
    I can see their size is still 130mb after recovery, just the file format does
    not open!
    cheerio

    I used Data Rescue X II to recover the files from the deleted 100GB partition,
    it took me forever to recover them, and generating them was even more
    of a pain (i rented a Nikon ED4000 to make them)
    I need those images desperatley
    A mate of mine suggested using a Windows PC to recover them, and move
    the files on to Windows...i dare not
    appreciate any help, surely there must be a way, there is good data in those 130mb files...
    cheerio

  • Can Lightroom 5 corrupt RAW files?

    I just started using Lightroom 5 and the following thing has happened to me twice within an hour.
    Normally, I first rank the photos and then tweak a bit the 4* photos before I export them.
    So I go through every file at least once, if not twice. As I was about to assign a keyword to the attached image, it suddenly turned into what you can see - it's been a totally normal photo. The weirdest thing is that the original RAW image is damaged, too. I did a bit of digging around and in theory, Lightroom has Read Only access to the original RAW files - yet the original file is corrupted, too.
    Any guess what the cause might be? I'm using an older Canon 1Ds Mk III.

    Lightroom doesn’t touch the files, it simply works with metadata. The problem is most likely to be hardware related. It’s really a process of elimination e.g. testing memory card, card reader, hard drive, external hard drive/network, memory (RAM) which sometimes fails on older computers.

  • Lightroom and Canon RAW Files. THIS NEEDS TO GET RESOLVED!!!

    I am EXTREMELY frustrated and unhappy with Lightroom's performance when it comes to processing my Canon 1D Mark II N's .cr2 files. I know others are having this issue with most other Canon models, and I KNOW there are other threads about this. However, I'm about to the point where I cannot stand to process images in Lightroom anymore, due to this frustrating situation.
    I know this has to do with the fact that Canon doesn't release their proprietary RAW data, so LR has to "guess" what the image should look like when it is initially imported. HOWEVER, come on Adobe, can't you do a better job at GUESSING? My colors look like CRAP!
    Now, before all of you jump on me about develop presets and all that, let me make a couple of things clear.
    - I'm a professional wedding and portrait photographer. Not to sound like an ***, but I know what I'm talking about on this issue. Please don't start making a bunch of suggestions on how to change color space etc... It's all been tried before.
    - I calibrate my monitor. This issue has nothing to do with that anyway.
    - I DO NOT have any automatic presets set to run in lightroom on import OR export.
    - I will not shoot JPEG. Don't say "just shot jpeg" and expect this to be solved.
    Here's a screen shot of Lightroom running side by side with Canon's DPP software. For the record, I HATE DPP, but it provides SUPERIOR RESULTS.
    DPP is on the left. LR is on the right. No develop settings or presets were applied - the images shown are SOOC after import.
    http://meeksdigital.com/images/frustration/dpp-lr.jpg

    Peter, You may have selected "Auto reset" in the "File numbering" item of the camera's set-up menu, in which case it will start numbering the images from 1 again after re-inserting the CF card. When importing the next time into LR it will see the same file names and tell you that it does not find any new photos to import. This process is determined by file name only in LR and it will import the same file name of different formats having the same prefix, like when you shoot RAW + JPG and have _MG_0123.CR2 and _MG_0123.JPG.

  • Firefox stops downloading and corrupts the file after I exit the brower. It didn't do this before I updated it to 3.6

    Back then, before I had updated to the newest version of Firefox, I could close all the browser windows and still have the downloads remain active. However, now that I have updated my Firefox to its most up-to-date version, whenever I close all the browsers, the download who stop. Even though the file is nowhere near completion, the program would think it's finished downloading and ends up corrupting it. Is there any way to revert back to the way it was when I first had Firefox? Thanks.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Relocating library and corrupt removed files

    I´m trying to move my current aperture library to an external hard drive but there seems to be two files that are corrupt (one jpg and one raw) and aperture quits the process after giving an error message (36).
    I´ve deleted the files and rebuilt the library but it still gives me the same error message.
    I´ve relocated the project to another drive without any problems and then deleted the project from the library I´m trying to move and it still doesn´t help. When I tried to search for the files in Aperture after deleting them the program just closed itself.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I´ve got the same problem. One part of my images where on an external drive the other on an internal.
    I´ve connected my new mac with the external and just copied the images from the old internal drive to the new internal drive. Alle images from the internal couldn´t be find, because they are locate at old/pictures/nameofpic.
    How can I say Aperture that all images are on the internal and they only wanted to be found automatically?

  • "Sharing" a Lr Mobile TIF file to the iPhone 6 camera roll converts the TIF to JPG.  Bad, bad, bad Lr Mobile!

    I have another discussion concerning Lr Mobile and TIF files that exist in the iPhone 6/iOS 8 camera roll (aka "Recently Added"): Lr Mobile 1.2.1 does not recognize .tif files added to iPhone 6 + iOS8 Camera Roll
    A new issue has surfaced.  When I add a TIF file in Lr Desktop to a collection that is synced with Lr Mobile, the TIF file appears as a TIF file in Lr Mobile.  So far, so good.  But if I then "share" that TIF image using the "Save Image" command in Lr Mobile, the image gets converted to a JPG file before it is added to the iPhone's camera roll.  This despite the fact that the iPhone 6 camera roll can save and display TIF files captured by the iPhone's camera.
    Please fix this problem, as well as the problem concerning display of camera roll TIFs in Lr Mobile that is the subject of my other discussion!
    Cheers,
    Jeff

    The file that comes into Lightroom mobile is labeled as a Tiff but is really a smart preview that Lightroom has generated from the Tiff and synced to the cloud.  The file your iPad is pulling in from LR Desktop is not a Tiff in the true sense. so it wouldn't make sense that it would save to camera roll as such.
    That makes sense.  I'll try enabling offline editing for that TIF file to force a download of the full file and then try to save it to the camera roll.

  • Export script for .jpg and/or .tif

    hi,
    i'm quite proficient with java script and action script - now also getting into scripting illustrator. i'd like to write a script to export each layer of an open document as a separate .jpg and/or .tif file.
    apparently though, there is no way to access the resolution depth property (i need 300dpi) or the format method property (i need baseline optimized).
    can that really be true? only 72dpi output possible? no full property access?
    thanks a lot for any hint, maybe there are some strange workarounds?

  • Converting .ai illustrations to b&w 600dpi .tif files

    Hi everyone, I have 1000+ .ai files that have to be converted to black and white .tif files at 600dpi. What is the quickest, easiest way for me to do that, apart from doing them one at a time? I have CS5 Suite.
    Thanks in advance.
    Erik

    thank you for your suggestions, I havn't used actions before, so I'll have to learn this feature tomorrow...unless either of you want to type a quick step by step for me? (I want to convert 1000 .ai files from a folder situated on my works network drive (T) to a subfolder where the .tif files should be converted too)
    many thanks

  • Why does a .tif file come back to Lightroom2 from CS4 as a new file?

    In my workflow I start with a virtual copy of a .dng file in Lightroom2, make adjustments there and then take the file to CS4 for further refinements before bringing the image back to Lightroom2 to print. When the images comes back to Lightroom2 it comes back as .tif file but doesn't replace the .dng files. I now have three files. The original, the virtual copy, and the .tif file. In Lightroom2 the sliders for the .tif file are all back to zero. The adjustments can be seen in the image, but there are no indications by the sliders that any adjustments were made. In preferences I have it set that a file coming back to Lightroom2 from CS4 comes back as a .tif file but why don't the sliders show the adjustment I made to the original image in the .tif file as well. Feels like I am starting over with a new file.

    You are starting over with a new file. LR applies all the
    adjustments to the DNG or VC before converting it to a (flattened) TIFF.
    That's why you can see the adjustments in the new image.
