APA SE 3.0 turns some JPGs to jagged TIFs

After the first pass at pulling my photos up with Photoshop Album SE, some of my JPG files are displayed as very coarse and jagged, and I noticed that they are given names like "hpothb07.tif." They are useless for viewing or printing! Why does it do that? Is there any way to prevent or undo it? Thanks!

With all due respect, I don't believe the method of transfer is the issue. The camera is a Canon, and they were all transferred via Canon's Zoombrowser program that came with it. It has not caused any problems before that I know of.
When I look up the file in Windows Explorer I find that the file in question is an extra file obviously based on an existing photo file, and when I look at its properties, it is only 52.0 kb "size on disk". (Hence, the "jaggies"!) Further, the file (which is a Christmas 2004 picture) was created in June 2005, but modified in February 2005! I never mess with the file dates, so this is also part of the error.

  • NEF(raw) photos turn into jpg when i drag from iphoto to my desktop?

    why do my NEF(raw) photos from my nikon D90 turn into jpg when i drag them from iphoto to my desktop? i can not work on them in PS unless i dig into the original files in the masters list. i download them from the card, both go in, and if i look at the info it says that they are both there one in jpg and one in raw format side by side.  what am i missing and how can i drag the raw photo onto the desktop keep it in that format so that i can then put into PS.

    thank you just tried and worked just fine, did not set any advanced options but opened up in PS any way.
    well i have one other q that maybe you can answer, when i send photos to folks from iphoto, through macmail, no one can download the photos and keep on their 'puter. several years ago this changed and i have never found the answer. i will put on my desktop zip the photos and send that way. is their another??

  • Preview.app in Snow Leopard doesn't open some jpg files

    Preview.app in Snow Leopard doesn't open some jpg files.
    Preview does't issue an error message, it behaves as I did't try to open file at all.
    These images could be easy opened in iPhoto, so files seem to be OK.

    Unfortunately, it sounds as if your internal disk failed (hardware failure).
    Things to try:
    (1) Boot from your Apple Hardware Test CD/DVD, which sometimes is a separate disk or sometimes is on the original OS install disk. Run the tests, all of them, to see what is amiss.
    (2) Reset PRAM as described in  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 . I don't think this is likely to help because even though your startup disk is not being selected, it seems that your internal disk is simply unable to be found or mounted, implying hardware failure more than software. But it's worth a try.
    Probably time to take your computer in for repairs, either at the Apple Store or to an authorized Apple repair shop. Most likely they will simply replace your drive. You could also ask them to mount the old drive in an enclosure to see if files can be copied from it if you don't have a backup.

    The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos.  However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled.  What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

  • IPhoto09 unable to open some jpgs

    After spending two hours with a Mac Genius, who was unable to help me, I'm hoping someone here can.
    I recently upgraded to iLife09. I started having problems opening up some pictures in iPhoto. Here are the issues:
    1) I can see the thumbnail, but when I try to double click on it, the picture will open for half-a-second and then just gives me a black screen
    2) It gives blank screen on some pictures, but not all. They're pretty random.
    3) I can find the actual jpg files in the iPhoto library, open the files ok in Finder or Photoshop and edit them, so I know the files are not corrupt
    4) iPhoto09 is unable to open some jpgs, if I resave the jpg as tif or gif then reimport them to iPhoto09, it opens fine
    5) The worst thing is that it's all random, it's unable to open some pictures in different albums, but I can't detect a pattern
    6) This is only happening after I upgraded to iLife09
    7) I sent the disputed jpgs to a friend, who imported them to her iPhoto08 and was able to open them just fine
    Can someone help me please?

    I don't see color profile in Tools, I see Match to Profile and Assign Profile. The default selection is Generic RGB Profile.
    In any case, all the pics was shot from the same camera on the same day. iPhoto will only open some, but not all. If I open the jpgs out of iPhoto, like Preview, I can open them all. I can also make edits to all pics in Photoshop but when I reimport those photos into iPhoto, it will open some, not all -- basically same issue as before.

  • Photoshop cs6 opens some jpg always in camera raw , how can i avoid it?

    Hi
    photoshop opens some jpg files 3 (i have a folder with 60 pics raw and jpg ) and it opens always via camera raw
    i don't know why
    but is there a way to avoid it?
    i mean i want to open these 3 files like other jpg files , directly in photoshop
    thanks
    cheers

    There is a setting that you can change that affects whether Camera Raw is the preferred method for opening JPEGs...
    In Photoshop, go to the Preferences - Camera Raw configuration entry, and look here:
    When set to the middle entry ("Automatically open JPEGs with settings") it will use Camera Raw again by default if you've used it before to open the JPEG.  Personally I prefer the Disable setting.

  • Resize image code doesn't work for some JPGs

    I don't know anything about the jpeg encoders, but I do see code that doesn't make any sense to me:
    Image resizedImage = null;
    int iWidth = image.getWidth(null);
    int iHeight = image.getHeight(null);
    // This code ensures that all the pixels in the image are loaded.
    Image temp = new ImageIcon(resizedImage).getImage();What is the point of creating an ImageIcon from a null image?
    int newWidth = (int)this.targetWidth;I don't see where you actually use this variable, so how does the image get resized?
    For more help create a [url http://sscce.org]SSCCE, that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour and maybe someone will take a look at it.

  • Color problem on some jpg images

    Suddenly it happens that some jpg images look almost black (very high level of contrast). I use a Samsung SyncMaster 245B monitor and I had never this effect before. I uninstalled Photoshop Elements and reinstalled, but the problem remains.
    Other jpg pictures look normal, but I am unable to understand any difference in the original files.
    The same bad pictures look fine if I open them with PaintShop Pro, this could bring me to consider a bad setup of Photoshop Elements ... but which one ?
    Can you help me in finding a solution ?
    Thanks

    I agree with your comment. But what I don't understand is:
    1) The monitor was calibrated and no changes done. The problem don't was present days ago.
    2) Why only some jpg show this problem, while others generally are shown OK. I may add only that the bad ones are larger in pixels.
    Thanks for your answer.

  • 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?

  • Aperture gets "Unsupported Image Format" on some JPG images

    I'm using Aperture 1.5.2 "trial" on PB 15" with OSX 10.4.9. I am getting "Unsupported Image Format" on about half of the 15,000 JPG images that I have on my HDD. But not all of them - even though all images come originally from my D100 camera and are JPEG images. These are all JPEG images with extensions JPG, jpg and jpeg. No RAW or TIFF.
    My images are currently catalogued in iVew MediaPro [IVMP] and I'm interested in switching to Aperture. So I've gotta find a way to import those photos.
    Here's a clue: When I put the CF card from my camera into the computer yesterday and tried to add the images to Aperture it reported that all the images on the CF chip were "Unsupported Image Format." I was not copying the images - just leaving them im place. As a test, I then used IVMP to import from the CF card onto the HDD, into a directory. Afterward, I fired up Aperture and it could properly index and display the files. I noticed that the pre-existing images that are viewable in Aperture all have previews when viewed in the Finder. Also, they've all been imported from CF to HDD using IVMP, so there may be some processing going on there. I also tried reading files into Photoshop and rewriting them with previews, which I verified in the Finder, and those files also can not be viewed in Aperture. So it is not just a question of having a preview - it's something else about the files.
    Another clue - when I shoot more than one CF of photos in a day, I use IVMP to import the first CF batch, and those are always visible in Aperture - but IVMP doesn't let you import two batches on the same date (pretty goofy huh?) - so to import an additional batch I have to (Finder drag-drop) copy from the CF to the HDD into a directory - and those files have no previews, have not been imported thru IVMP, and interestingly are not viewable in Aperture.
    So I'd have to conclude that iView MediaPro is doing something to "tame" the files' format that makes them acceptable to Aperture. But I want to dump IVMP, so there has to be some other way to make these D100 files acceptable to Aperture.
    I either need to "fool" Aperture into reading the files or find a way to tweak 'em and make 'em acceptable to Aperture. Any ideas from other iView/Aperture users out there?
    PB 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Good idea, but I checked it... I mentioned reading right from the card in order to illustrate that the JPG files are "unsupported image format" even *right from the camera*. *In fact* the CF is not the differentiating factor between renderable and non-renderable. The real factor is whether the files went thru iView Media Pro or not. Files that were drag-dropped from the CF into a folder are not renderable by Aperture and files that were imported first (from the CF or from another folder) thru IVMP into a folder are renderable.
    Yesterday I confirmed again that GraphicConverterX does not fix the files if I import and then rewrite with additional options turned on. It also sees the same IPTC data and EXIF on both a "good" file and a "bad" file. Identical. I also fixed the OS9 creator and filetypes so they're <none> and that didn't fix anything - some good files and some bad files have this configuration.
    Ah another COOL THING - I just loaded a CF card into the computer and brought up Aperture - it immediately recognized the card and showed me two previews - one for a NEF (Nikon RAW) and one for a JPG. The previews looked fine. I clicked to have it import the photos. Once imported, the NEF looked OK, but the JPG had a grey preview and then "Unsupported Image Format" on the large version. I think this confirms the file format is a problem, but then why was Aperture able to gen a preview when the file was on the CF chip but not after it was copied to the HDD?
    I double-checked this by copying in Finder drag-drop from the CF card to the HDD and then importing the same two photos (NEF and JPG) from the HDD, and indeed the NEF was renderable and the JPG was not. For me this confirms that there's something about the file format that Aperture can't deal with.
    I then imported the same two files using IVMP (Media Pro) and as expected, both files could then be "imported" and rendered by Aperture. So IVMP is doing something that makes Aperture really happy.
    In case someone can actually compare the two files - I have put up a "bad" and a "good" JPG - it's the same image from a Nikon D100, but one of them (bad) is right from the camera and the other (good) was imported by IVMP and somehow is acceptable to Aperture. Any intelligence that anyone can add based on these files would be useful.

  • IPhoto will not import some jpg files

    I have been trying to import some photos into iPhoto. All the pictures that I have have been taken with a Canon 40D in a RAW format. The pictures were then imported into Adobe Lightroom where I made some modifications. Once all the necessary changes were made all the files were exported from Lightroom as jpg files. I am trying to import the jpg files into iPhoto and about 50 out of the 1250 pictures would not import as they were an unrecognizable format. I have checked to make sure all my software is up-to-date. I have tried importing those 50 pictures again with no success. As all the pictures have been created with the same exact process I am have no idea what is causing this issue. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. I have searched for this issue in the support pages and not found anything. If a support article is around that already deals with this issue if you could point me in that direction I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thank you,

    When you say this problem is solved, I am not sure what you mean. This morning I divided two files of scanned holiday snaps using Photoshop Elements 6, basically copying and cropping an A4 into 4 photographs. The first file imported into iPhoto without a problem, but none of the second file would either as a group or individually, coming up with the "unsupported file type". All were the same .jpeg files. I tried fixing the permissions, but this did nothing. I noticed that 3 of the 32 said they were Photoshop JPEG's in the version information and tried saving them using preview and overwriting the originals, but this didn't work. The ones that said they were mere JPEG's still wouldn't import on their own. I know Apple and Adobe aren't great friends at the moment but this is something they should seriously sort out before they upset their loyal customers.
    I see now that I will have to turn all my JPEG's into tiff's to get them to work, that's an exiting prospect, almost PC. Thanks A & A
