Can't export 16 bit tiff in A3.1.3 Lion

If I try to export a 16 bit tiff, the extension automatically changes to jpg. I can only export an 8 bit tiff. Thanks for any tips.

Aloha Tom and Ashley. Perhaps I should start another thread. This is my first time looking for help in this way. Thanks in advance Ashley are you going from Keynote to iMovie to FCE? Sure would be nice if we didn't need so many steps! The only reason I am in FCE is because I have been unsuccessful in getting a QT export from Keynote that marries sound file with movie and is stable.
Tom here is how I exported. Playback uses: manual advance, Compression H.264, Frame rate 29.97, keyframe - all, data rate automatic, compression quality - best. Then I imported to FCE, married music and movie (so easy), rendered and exported with same settings. Big black area around movie, little tiny movie in middle. Then I discovered on the Sequence canvas there is a drop down with the choices <image> <image with wire frame> <show overlays> When I select image with wire frame it looks like it is creating a larger letterbox. But the export output when it is large is both fuzzy and distorted even when I import a 1920 x 1080 version.
Tom/Ashley perhaps this isn't the program to use. All I need is a high res 16:9 QT with music and movie married into one file and stable being used on computers and LCD players. It will not be TV viewed. I could reframe the Keynote to 4:3 if I have to to get the viewing size and image quality.
What would you suggest. And again thank you. I have been fiddling with this for weeks, with progress but no success. Cathy

QT can't export 10 bit images?

I have 10 bit uncompressed quicktime movies, from which I need to export 10 bit image sequences. When I export using either QT 7.0.2 or FCP5, I get 8 bit images. What's going on?

Hmmmm.....Well, I'm certainly seeing the problem. But it must be more complex, and also perhaps involve CPU architectures: I imported HD DVCPRO 720p @23.98fps media from a P2 Store on a MacBook Pro using 5.1.1. Those imported Quicktime media files can not be viewed on a G4 w/ 5.0.4 but can be viewed on a G5 w/ 5.1.2. On the G4 the movie files opened at the right rez but with a blank white image (typical when the codec is missing/bad), although the audio played fine. Neither the G4 nor the G5 have an added video card.
This is confusing because it would be simple if it was just Intel vs PowerPC, but it's not, as the G5 works but the G4 doesn't. I never had a chance to see if it will work on the G5 using 5.0.4.
Obviously there's more to this than we'd thought.

Can Lightroom export a layered TIFF?

I have hundreds of layered PSDs that I need to convert to Tiffs but need to maintain the Layers inherent in the orginal PSDs. Will LR4 export do that or do I need to create an action in PS CS6 to do it

If you want to use TIFF ZIP Image and ZIP Layer compression see my post #3 at the above link. Rob Cole's Relative Antics plugin should do the PSD to TIFF LR Develop settings Sync for you. If not send him a PM.

Can't import 32-bit files?

I'm posting for a friend who is running Logic 8 on a Macbook. She and I were trying to import .wav files created in Reaper but couldn't do it because they're 32-bit files. Now I know about bit rates but I've never heard of audio files rendered at 32-bit, it's always 16 or 24. I know that DAWs use 1 32-bit floating point when you're working with them but once they become .wav files they're either 16 or 24. So can anyone shed some light and help us understand why this is??

Some DAWS can indeed export 32 Bit files. Try converting them to 24 Bit .aiff with Compressor, an app that comes with Logic Studio and can almost convert anything into everything, strangely enough it can't create wavs but that doesn't matter in your case.

Convert 16 bit tiff?

I am trying to recover disk space and have been using the DNG Converter to save 10-20 percent on my Canon cr2 files
I also have over 256 Gigs of 16 bit tiff files that I have outputted over the years from the HDR program Photomatix Pro,
When I originally saved them I saved them at a bit depth of 16 so I would have more to work with for the final editing.
So, on average the tiff files are each about 100 megs, I am guessing that as a DNG , it would shrink that by about 75%
DNG converter doesnt like the 16 bit tiffs and skips them.
Is there another piece of software that can convert 16 bit tiffs to DNG
OR
Is there another piece of software that can batch convert 16 bit tiffs to 8 bit so I can dump then them into the DNG converter without having to do each file one by one.
Thanks
Todd McIntosh

I have not used it before to convert 8-bit Tiffs.
I am only assuming it does so, because the program pulls the tiff files into the cue when you have them in the folder you are converting.
When the program goes to convert them (16 bit tiffs) it gives me a status of ...
"there was an error parsing the file"
Perhaps I am incorrect in assuming the results would be different with an 8 bit Tiff.
Hmmmm,
Todd

How to save RAW edits as 16-bit TIFF? Can't find in Aperture, easy on iPhoto

In iPhoto there is "advanced preferences" options to save RAW edits as 16-bit TIFF. Where is this option in Aperture?

I suppose I do not understand how Aperture saves processed RAW photos then; in iPhoto by contrast, the default saves them as JPEG unless the TIFF option is selected.
If you are shooting RAW, Aperture will always store the original RAW file and the sequence of adjustments to produce the image version. It does not render the edited image and create an image file. Only when you export the edited image or share it, will a file of the processed image created.
All editing is always done starting from the RAW file and adding all adjustments. You will see the resulting image in the browser, but the rendered image file will only be created when you need it outside Aperture, and then you can select a suitable export preset. Edited image versions do not take up much extra space, only for thumbnails and optional JPEG previews.

Exporting from 16 bit Tiff sequence

I am using Premiere Pro CC. I've imported 16 bit Tiff sequence that was exported from Lightroom. Each frame is 5472x3648 and about 115mb. I'm using the Red plugins so that I can create a UHDTV video at 3840x2160. Any attempt to export as dpx or even mp4 or even render the video crashes the program or the computer within seconds or at the most a minute. This same thing worked as long as the files were 8bit, but i wanted the higher quality. The computer is a:
Alieware R4 Aurora
Windows 7
16 Gb ram
3.6 Ghz Intel i7 processor
AMD Radeon HD 8950 (graphics)
Is it premiere pro or the computer hardware that is the hangup?

Just a follow up on what I found out for someone's future reference. If I reduced the file size to 4800x3200, a slightly smaller but still in the same 3x2 ratio as the originals, then Premiere Pro CC would render the files and export them without crashing. This still allowed me to do some pans and zooms within Premiere. Not sure if that is the largest size Premiere excepts or not, it just worked for me. Also, Premiere will only export 10bit DPX sequenses, which is still fine with me.

Exporting R3D file to 12-bit TIFF?

Done the max settings in 'general' when creating a project, and likewise in 'sequence', but whatever setting I try all I get are 8-bit tiff files.
Is there something I've missed?

So how can Premiere claim to be fully RED compatible if it cannot export at the same resolution?
Or am I misunderstanding something?

I wish to export several still images from iMovie as JPEG or TIFF. Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to add a freeze frame to extract the desired frame but I can't export it. Thanks.

I wish to export several frames from iMovie as if they were images (like JPEGs or TIFFs). Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to 'add a freeze frame' to isolate the desired frames but I can't export it. Thanks.

Ach... I found a solution thanks to previous posts which came to light after I'd posted what was obviously a question that had been asked before.

Can't export panel 64-bit Vista

I downloaded Configurator 2.0 and created a panel which I saved.   However when I tried to export to CS5 64 plug in /panel folder (I have Vista 64) I get an error message that it would not export to that path. I made sure I activated administrator rights to Configurator but it didn't help

Hi,
If your problem haven't been resolved, please try these steps.
*) Clean up your folders,
Goto folder "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Panels\", move all subfolders or files to a backup place, for example "c:\backup".
So this folder is empty - "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Panels\"
*)Open your configurator 2.0 and create a panel, then click "File"=>"Export Panel". It will popup a dialog to pick up a folder.
Please select a folder which you have write permission, for example "c:\MyExportPanels".
*)Then goto your export folder "c:\MyExportPanels", you may see a subfolder which name same as your panel name. For example "untitled-1".
*)Copy this folder to "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Panels\".
*)Check folder "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Panels\untitled-1\content"
You may see files like these:
   \untitled-1.swf
   \untitled-1.jsx
   \untitled-1.xml
   \untilted-1.assets (folder)
*)Then start your photoshop cs5 64bit.
You should can see "untitled-1" at "Window"=>"Extensions" menu.
There're one point should pay attention, please make sure there's not file named with suffix ".gpc" in the "content" folder.
This is a restriction, since the ".gpc" file is the source file of panel, and ".swf" file is the exported binary file of panel, they can't put into same folder, else the panel will not be loaded. The rule is don't save and export panel to same folder.
If these steps work for you, you can try export panel to ""c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Panels" folder directly.

PSE 10 as external editor for Aperture 3 - 8-bit TIFF and what color space?

Hi all,
I'm taking the plunge and trying PSE 10 as my external editor for Aperture 3. I understand that I need to export as 8-bit TIFF files (not 16) because PSE can't do certain things with 16-bit files. Is that right? Should I specify a color space in Aperture or leave it as "no profile selected"? (I don't know much about color spaces; I'm not a pro.) I print on an Epson RX580 Stylus Photo printer, if that matters.
I'll be grateful for any help and advice. Thanks.

Can I suggest you buy Philip Andrews book, Advanced Photoshop Elements 10. he explains colour spaces and much much more very clearly and exactly what can be done with 16 bit files and what you then have to change to 8 bit to accomplish. He's written basic and advanced guides for Elements since day one. Usually available from Amazon for under £20.

Import 16 bit tiff files in premiere pro cs5 ?

When i try to import a 16 bit tiff sequence I get an error message "The video bit depth of this file is unsupported.".
I could not find how to set bit depth in project, however I understand from the help files that 16 bit workflow is supported.
What I am doing wrong?

Hi again Salazaroo....
Thanx for your answer...
I am working in a project shot with RedOne and the output will be 35mm and DCP.... we´ll made the prints with Cinevator system as well... same as yours...
What I did is open the Pr project in After effects and from there export the R3d as DPX to work in the compositings... I am trying different ways to do this... change the R3D settings to RedLog and RedSpace before to export as DPX OverRange, or PDLog985 and RedSpace before to export as DPX Standard (as Mark Christiansen says in THIS SITE) ...
Once I do it, I import the DPX to start the composition... so I change the Cineon Settings to OverRange or Standard (depending of the settings at export) and apply the Cineon Converter LogToLin... but then everything looks too overbright to work... I am working with the DPX and .psd and tiffs together so it is like crazy to match everything together...
I tried to export as PDLog985, RedSpace and OverRange Cineon Settings (instead of Standard) and it looks much better... I check the picture looking at the Info panel and everything is Ok, or close the 'Iris simulator' and detail appear in the image, ...but when I check different elements coming from matte painters and 3d artist, whites clip at 1... how can i match everything together in the same space color to work and then apply the Cineon Converter LintoLog before export???
This is the first time I work with DPX and I am reading a lot about it, but I could´t find a step by step explanation... and it is like there are many ways to deal with it... some people says to use a general Working Space, some people says don´t (See this Article) ...
Thank you man.... I really appreciate your help....

16 Bit Tiff Images Display Bug?

Question 1:
Is there a problem with Aperture 2.0 displaying 100 + mb 16 bit tiff images generated by a film scanner (nikon coolscan 4000 ed)? I am having trouble with my library that I migrated from Aperture 1.5. All of my images were working fine in Aperture 1.5 (and previously in iPhoto as far back as 2003). In Aperture 2.0 I am getting scrambled images and some images that read unsupported file format. The problem is sporadic. It effects some images and not others. Sometime images display correctly and sometime they become scrambled and unsupported, and then back again.
There is no trouble with the images themselves. I export them to CS3 with no distortion or trouble. The problem seems to be in Aperture 2.0.
I have re-built the library, tried migrating images, changed the color profile.... I think I have exhausted every trick I can manage from a user vantage point. The images work fine when converted to 8 bit files. This is not the solution for me - I need to keep these images 16 bit.
Question: Is this this just my version (I purchased downloaded upgrade), that is having trouble, or is this a wider problem that Apple aware of and is looking into?
Please advise. I have 1000's of scanned pictures that I have been working with for years that were fine and now are not. I purchased a new Mac Pro 2.8 so as to work more productively with these large images - and now it seems that the very software I rely on has failed me.
I have not been able to find any comments from Apple regarding this issue.

I've had this problem with images saved as 8-bit scans.
Are you using any compression in the TIFs? I scanned using Nikon Scan 4, cleaned up a bit in Photoshop 7, reduced the bit depth to 8-bit, and saved at TIFs with embedded colour profile using ZIP compression, Macintosh byte order.
This used to work with Aperture 1.5.6, but with Aperture 2.0 I see a kind of offset pattern, so a vertical line looks like this:
If export the master TIF, open it in Photoshop (where it looks normal) and save it with no compression Aperture displays it properly.
(I'm still using Tiger, so I don't think this is an OS issue.)

Re-edit 32 bit tiff in PS doesn't work?

Hi,
When I generate a 32 bit tiff (HDR) in PS CS5 from bracketed pictures within lightroom 4.1, import the tiff back into lightroom, adjust it in lightroom, and then send it back to PS (option "Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" selected) for further editing, the file won't open in PS. Opening the file directly in PS works, but without the adjustments made in lightroom.
I have tried the same with a 32 bit tiff from Photomatix. Same behaviour.
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
Haya.

Yep, same issue here. You can Export using 16 bit depth and ProPhoto RGB to create a copy, which is what you are actually working with in LR anyhow. It would be nice if 'Edit In' would give you a warning that "LR can only create a 16bit copy with adjustments applied, do you want to proceed," instead of simply failing. Perhaps log this a 4.1 bug?
