Can't import .tif file

iPhoto won't import a large tiff file of a pano, one about 50K x 3K pixels, 852MB. Wondering if the problem is that it's a tiff, or the file size, or the megapixel count, or something else?
It was saved in photoshop with no image compression, 'interleaved' pixel order, macintosh byte order, and 'discard layers, and save a copy'.
I'm googling but having trouble finding anything clear and concrete about tifs and iphoto. Using OS X 10.5.6 and iPhoto '08 7.1.5 and Photoshop CS3.

Thought I had it figured: maybe 30,000 pixels in one dimension was a problem for iPhoto as it is for photoshop--as best as I can tell, that is the limit in photoshop for refusing to save files as jpegs (if offers only tif, large document format, or one other for images over that size in one dimension).
To test this idea, I took the large pano, opened the full sized tiff file in photoshop, made files of 29999, 30000, and 30001 pixels max dimension. The first two were saved directly as jpegs, the third as a tiff file that was opened in preview and saved as a jpeg from within preview, which does not appear to have a size limit as does photoshop.
Then I tried to import 29,999.jpg (17.8 MB), 30,000.jpg (17.8 MB), 30,001.jpg (20.2MB) and 30,001.tif (322MB) into iPhoto.
Guess which imported successfully?
30,001.jpg and 30,001.tif.
I am so confused!

Can't Import TIFs

can't import TIFs off my Pentax Optio 550. transfered files to my desktop and still can't get them into iPhoto. Used to be able to, but haven't shot in TIF format for a while, so this is the first time in iPhoto 5.0 and 10.4.3. i get a msg saying the file may be of an unrecognized type or may not contain valid data, and it gives the file path. but the files open fine in photoshop. i tried changing the extention to TIFF or eliminating the extension altogether, but neither worked. as they are straight out of the camera, there is no alpha channel to gum up the iPhoto works. other images in jpg format on the same camera card imported without problems, so it's not a communication problem with the camera. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am having a similar problem with tiffs from my Panasonic DMC-FZ3. When I used the camera in October there was no problem importing from my camera to iPhoto, but now I get the same error message as David Lewis: the files are either unsupported or corrupted. I get the same error from Preview. Likewise, the finder does not display a preview, and the creation date is blank (could this be the problem?). The files open fine in Photoshop, Graphic Converter, and several other graphics programs.
My camera takes each photo as both a tiff and a jpeg (it uses the jpeg for display on its built-in lcd). I can import the jpegs to iPhoto with no problem, but the tiffs will not import.
I have tried every suggestion I have found on this forum, from changing the file name, to repairing permissions, to changing ownership on the library, to running the daily, weekly and monthly unix maintenence scripts. My next attempted fix will be to run the 10.4.3 combo updater.

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1. Does Sony offer a plug in?

I shoot fishing footage of big catches. Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i. It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab. Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames. Thank you again for your reply.

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
Thanks for any ideas.

First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation. I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times. All hard drive will eventually fail. It's a question of when, not if.
I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files. You can try importing these directly into fcp.
If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
or
Magic Bullet Grinder
http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy. HDV is a problematic format. Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

Can't import ISO Files in VM Manager because of empty Server Pool Drop Down

Hello,
I have the problem I can't import ISO files to my ressources because in the import mask the Server Pool Name Drop Down is empty. In the Virtual Machine Templates mask the Server Pool Name is available and I have already one VM running with a oracle template.
The Server is 2.2.1 and the vm manager is 2.2.0. The server is a Pentium 4 3.2 GHz with 4 MB of RAM. The High Availabiliy Mode is enabled for this server pool.
Has anyone an idea what the problem could be?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thx in forward
Ben

I am not expert in this area myself, but I believe the issue may be with shared storage changes that are needed for high availability.
The following reference may help: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/doc.22/e15444/ha.htm

Can I import html files into Buzzword?

Can I import html files into Buzzword?

Thank you for your post.
Buzzword lets you import Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX), plain text (TXT), Rich Text Format (RTF), Word 2003 XML, and Open Document Format (.odt) files. (Font substitution and other formatting changes sometimes occur on import, depending on the content of the document.) You'll need to convert your HTML file to one of the supported file types before importing to Buzzword.
Kind Regards,
Michelle

Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC

Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC. But I can into After Effects CC.
I also can't export to DNxHD files to an MXF file either.
I do have latest Quicktime Pro installed and I also have Avid Media Composer and the other pieces of the Avid package.
Conflict?

I only have one account on the computer and it has Administrator priveleges. What I am doing to make it work is opening the application using the "Run as Administrator" command (e.g., right click application shortcut on desktop, choose "Run as Administrator"). I am not a Windows guru but I would guess there is something different between opening an Application with a user that has Administrator priveleges and opening an Application choosing "Run as Administrator". Also, your answer still does not address the fact that I can't use my jog wheel.
Anyone else have some ideas?

Can't import AVCHD files since i've updated to OSX 10.7.

Can't import AVCHD files since i've updated to FCPX 10.03 and OSX 10.7. Before it worked ok.
When I try to import files from the Camera, or the Memory Stick they end up looking like offline files. On my other mac (iMac intel core duo 27", with OS 10.6) I can still import these files.

Make sure you don't have Proxy checked in Playback Preferences.

I can't import raw files into lightroom

I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

I don't use nikon software. I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

Can you import Dreamweaver files into Muse, how?

Can you import Dreamweaver files into Muse, how?

If the images aren't showing up in DW, why do you think they will show in Muse? Obviously, something is wrong with the paths to those images. And that will most likely be due to the underlying code.
Can you post an example of a problem page?

CS3 - can't import jpg - files grayed out - Mac

I'm trying to complete a tutorial in Fireworks CS3 on Mac 10.5.6.
The step I'm stuck on is:
"Select File > Import and browse to the following folder on your hard disk:
local_sites/cafe_townsend/fireworks_assets/
Select banner-mockup.jpg and click Open.
An insertion pointer appears indicating where the upper-left corner of the graphic will be positioned."
None of the JPG files are selectable, they're grayed out.
Other files in that folder, TXT and PNGs are selectable.
Other JPGs that are not in the folder indicated are also selectable.
I can drag the file from Finder into the Fireworks document ok.
I've checked the Sharing & Permissions on the files and containing folders and they all have Read & Write.
I copied a JPG that was selectable for import elsewhere into the fireworks_assets folder, and it's still selectable (not grayed out).
The files were copied & pasted in an earlier tutorial step from a different folder (Macromedia Fireworks 8/Tutorial_assets).
Trying to import them from the original location also fails.
So it seems there's something specific to these JPGs causing Fireworks to not want to import them.
I can't figure out what.
The specific file I can't import is attached.

Not sure why you can't import the file, I'd suspect something is goofed up with the actual JPEG if you can import other JPEGS with no issues. However, if you can drag and drop or copy and paste the image into your Fireworks document then you're ending up with the same results the tutorial is aiming for anyway.
