Unable to save a tiff file (save over)

I have rendered some images with a 3d program and saved as tiffs.
I will open the images in Photoshop and select SAVE. A message states "unable to save, the file is already open or in use". As a result, I will have to save a copy and rename it. What is weird is that I am unable to throw away the original TIFF. When I empty the trash a dialog will say "items are in use and can not be thrown away." Any ideas?

if you can't trash them after restarting the computer and they are not locked use cocktail to trash them.

    To investigate this we would have to look at the error logs -
    Start your download and once it gets completed please send us the Log.txt file from the locations listed.

  • Tiff files save as sgi

    In Photoshop CS6 when I save a TIFF file it saves with the .sgi extension. When I save a png it saves it with the .raw extension. I haven't had this problem with previous versions of PS. I'm on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8. I also noticed that I have a plugin in the Plugins folder that's called SGIRGB.plugin. Any ideas about what's going on with saving in these file types or what this plugin is?

    You've mixed plug-ins supplied with an earlier version of Photoshop into those enumerated by Photoshop CS6.
    Likely as not you did this by copying plug-ins from an older version, or perhaps by setting an Extra Plug-ins Folder in the Preferences - Plug-ins section.
    Undo that and you'll correct the problems you're seeing.
    Note that Photoshop CS6 now does not populate it's installation area Plug-ins subfolder with any files at all, so any files you find there are those you have added.
    There is no trivial way to just get your plug-ins from an older version into the newer version.  Take the time to update them and install them afresh.

  • Does Save Metadata to file save EVERYTHING? and...

    1. Does Save Metadata to file save EVERYTHING? in other words, all Lr settings, ratings, Picks, keywords, etc?
    and
    2. does Lr automatically read the metadata from those XMP files when the images are imported into a different catalog?

    Does Save Metadata to file save EVERYTHING? in other words, all Lr settings, ratings, Picks, keywords, etc?
    Everything, with the exception of flags, color labels, collection membership, and stacking.
    Does Lr automatically read the metadata from those XMP files when the images are imported into a different catalog?
    Yes. Note that XMP files are created for raw files only; for other image formats (JPEG, TIFF, PNG, DNG), the metadata is stored within the file itself. Unfortunately, LR doesn't save metadata for videos (either in XMP sidecars or the video file).

  • How do I get PSE 12 to save a TIFF file with file extension ".tiff" instead of ".tif"?

    I am using PSE 12 as an external editor for Aperture.  When I ask to use an external photo editor, Aperture creates a .tiff file in my Aperture folder, launches PSE 12 and tells it to edit that .tiff file.  This all works great.  When I am done editing in PSE 12, I ask it to save the file and it saves it back to the original Aperture folder with a .tif extension.  I can instead say "save as" and then it suggests the file name with a .tif extension.  When I correct the extension to .tiff it warns me that I'm going to overwrite the file (exactly what I want!).  I say yes and then I find out that PSE did not overwrite the file, but wrote it as a .tif file anyway.  I have to go to the folder, delete the .tiff file and rename the .tif file to .tiff and then everything is fine - but what a hassle.  Has anyone solved this problem?

    That's not quite where the problem lies, which is good, because you can't change that. The real solution is that you don't ever want to see the save as window in PSE if you are using PSE as external editor for any program. When you see it you aren't creating a version for your asset management program. Go to the PSE preferences>saving files>on first save and choose to save over existing file. That should do what you want.

  • Save as TIFF file

    Trying to save a still from a QT video file
    video plays OK and I can save a still but whatever settings I make in options it only saves as a pct file
    is it possible to save as other file types such as TIFF?

    No, you will have to use another application, like GraphicConverter, to convert the pct file to a tiff or jpg.

  • CS6 Mac - cannot Save As tiff file

    OS X 10.7.3
    CS 6 Beta
    Open a raw file (CR2), not as smart object
    Edit
    Save (psd format is the default)
    Save As:  same name, but choose tiff format
    Result:  Save As dialogue adds "mpo" as an extension, and the next dialogue is one for JPGs.
    1) loading a TIFF file and then trying to Save As a TIFF file with a different name has the same outcome.
    2) Saving works properly with my TIFF files.  Only Save As fails.

    Myron-
    Just to clarify, you can't point your plugins to the plugins for an older version of CS5 and expect the program to work properly.  In CS6, the default plugins are in a different directory in an effort to make it easier for you to tell what plugins are 3rd party and that you have installed separately. When you point your additional plugins folder to the CS5 plugins, you are pointing to duplicates of many default plugins, which does not make the Mac os very happy. If you make a new folder and set it as your additional plugins folder, you can install your 3rd party plugins there and  you will not have the issue with duplicate files or the file save issue.
    Hope that helps-

  • Does ACR save JPEG & TIFF files like RAW files are saved?

    I know ACR saves RAW file edits to side-car files, not permanently changing the original file. Does ACR do the same for JPEG and TIFF files when they are opened, edited and saved? Thanks.

    I wonder if Kelby could have been confused by the fact that the metadata describing the Camera Raw settings is being stored back into the JPEG file.  The key is that the JPEG file is indeed re-written, but the actual image data is not changed.
    Here's an experiment you can try for yourself:
    1.  Start Photoshop, and choose File - Open As...
    2.  Change the type to Camera Raw, and choose a JPEG file that you have on your disk, and press [Open].
    3.  When Camera Raw comes up, push the Exposure control all the way to -4.00 EV and press [Open Image].
    4.  Note that it's very dark, as expected.
    5.  Close the document, do not save.
    6.  Note that the JPEG file has been updated on your disk by seeing that its date and time are current.
    7.  Choose File - Open As... again and open the same JPEG file.
    8.  Note that the Exposure control is set again to -4.00 EV and the preview is very dark.
    9.  [Cancel] the Camera Raw dialog.
    10.  Open the same JPEG file from Windows Explorer using the Windows Photo Viewer.  Note that it is NOT dark.  The original JPEG data is still intact, as bright as it ever was.

  • PSE 12 won't save the tiff file over the original, but brings up save as window

    I've solved (or had help) solving this problem before:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5893872#5893872
    I am using PSE 12 as a photo editor for Aperture 3.5.1 and the photo is duplicated (as a tiff) in Aperture and PSE editor opens with the image.  When I close the file and say to save the file it brings up the save as window.
    The fix from the earlier discussion worked fine at first, but now, even though I tell PSE 12 to "on first save -- save over current file" it now brings up the "save as" window and won't save over the file (changes the file type from .tiff to .tif)
    Has something changed?

  • Tiff Viewer which disables print, copy and save TIFF file

    I am looking TIFF Viewer solution which woul disable any print, save and copy functions for a TIFF file. Thisfunctionality is available for PDF but I need to disable print, copy and save for TIFF files.
    Would anyone know a TIFF viewer or solution that supports the following functions:
    1)      TIFF viewer where we can turn off any options to print the TIFF file or save it to disk.  That would include disabling any options where the user could right click on the TIFF and save the file somewhere else.
    2)      It would need to be able to open multi-page TIFFs. 
    3)      It would be nice if the TIFF viewer could be run on both Mac and Windows platforms.
    I need to send files to users for view only, and these should be in TIFF fomat, not converted into a PDF.
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,

    The same answer applies to any kind of file.
    You need a Digital Rights Management solution. Very expensive.

  • Will "File Save As" ever work properly in Safari?

    Even though I've been a long-time Safari user (with occasional dalliances with Firefox) this has always been a personal bugbear...
    In general, I like the way that Safari will play an mp3 file in the browser window. And then I have a choice... if there's a link to an mp3, I can right-click or ctrl-click and select "download file as". Fine.
    But...
    If the mp3 was launched via another app (clicking a link in Mail, for example) I can only play it in the browser window. I can't save it, because File > Save As simply results in a meaningless 4KB file landing on my desktop. Even worse, that option seems to be greyed out on Safari 4 Final.
    This has always been the case with Safari, but it works fine on Firefox. Why?

    Safari Menu Bar > Window > Open the Activity window and the Download window. Copy the MP3 that is downloading (playing) in the Activity window and paste into the Download window. Videos too.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 - Can't save or open file

    This is an issue that randomly pops up and has been popping up for a while now (also in CS4 and CS5).
    Basically I will be working in Photoshop and all of a sudden I cant save the file anymore. It opens up the dialog (if i do a "save as") but after a second or two it stops, leaving the file unsaved. After this point I can't even open any more files, the "file open" dialog box opens, but no documents.
    If I have a document open during this time and try to edit a type layer, it will revert to the previous variant after I commit the changes.
    I also can't do a drag&drop command from that point onward.
    After I reboot, it starts working again ... until the next time "it" happens.
    I have openGL turned off atm, same happens with it being turned on.

    Please help!

    Everything is updated. No third party plugins are installed, just the adobe fonts are on this computer (did a fresh install cause of this issue).
    Its weird because, I can't even use the free transform tool (it shows the bounding box, but I cant drag anything). Same with the text layers, can't make any permanent changes.
    When I click on file/save nothing happens, file/save as opens up a dialog box, but then it's the same thing.

  • Extension for tiff files - tif vs tiff

    I have encountered some (for me) confusing behavior. I have been working with both aperature and photoshop cs4. When I take a file from aperture to cs4, aperture creates a file with the extension.tiff. when I then save the file after working on it in photoshop it saves with the extension .tif. that is to say, Aperture uses 2 'f's and photoshop uses 1 'f' which results in two files. Is this related to option choice in the Tiff save panel or something anomalous with aperture.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I have played with this a little more and this is what I found. The file created by aperture has the tiff extension. If photoshop is set up to open all tiff files using camera raw, then when editing is complete and the file is saved it will be saved using the save as dialog even if save is selected, and the tiff file saves with a single f by default. The second f can be added in the save dialog box in which case it asks if you want to save the file that already exists. Save over the original tiff file and the edits will be visible in aperture.
    On the other hand if camera raw only opens tiff files with adjustments, the the save command saves directly in which case the two f extension is maintained.
    Apparently use of camera raw causes the save as dialog box to come up the first time the file is saved. Thus one can either add the second f in the dialog or forgo the use of camera raw for tiff files being brought in from aperture.

  • Bridge to PS CC 2014:  Error "Windows Cannot Find Photoshop CC" for PSD & TIFF files

    Since installing PS CC 2014, I have been unable to open PSD & TIFF files from within Bridge.  If I do- I get the error above.   Once Photoshop CC 2014 was installed, I removed the older version of PS CC. 
    Sounds like a registry issue created when PS CC 2014 installed alongside PS CC; confusing Bridge of where to send Photoshop files.

    Looks like bridge is still trying to run the old version.  Did you uninstall Photoshop CC after installing Photoshop CC 2014?
    Have you made sure and fully closed Bridge and reopened it?  Logging off and back on would ensure that.
    Failing the above, people have reported success with using the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool followed by a reinstall of Photoshop CC 2014...

  • New Preview Version in Lion - Unable to save as Tiff, any suggestions?

    Hello fellow Mac folks,
    I just upgraded a MacBook Pro to the Lion OS....
    Before Lion, I would use Preview (5.0.3 in SnowLeopard) to get my work expense report receipts ready for submission.  I would open PDF version of the actual report, save it as a TIFF file and then open that TIFF file in NeoOffice and bring in the actual receipts (which I had scanned and saved as TIFF files).  Once I had the complete TIFF version, I would then export it to PDF and send it on over to our Finance folks.
    I tried the same thing today in Lion with Preview and noticed that I can no longer save the PDF file to a TIFF file.
    I tried to pull in PDF versions of the actual receipts to the PDF report and then save but that wasn't successful either (hasn't been since I upgraded to SnowLeopard).
    Any suggestions on how I can get around this?
    Your help is most appreciated!
    Regards,
    Vicki T.

    Thanks Terence....that solved my problem!
    Can't wait to get my hands on the Mac OS Lion Missing Manual for just such things :-)
