Can't Save a Big TIFF 16 bit RGB Image to JPEG

Hi all,
I'm using Photoshop CS5 Extended on Windows 7 64 bit (Home Premium).
I've stitched a panorama in Photoshop using merge from 19 RAW files (Canon 5D mkII) in 16 bit. All was fine, I saved the merged image as TIFF 16 and worked on it. Resolution of the panoramic image is around 33000x4900. File flattened and no active selections left.
Once I was happy I ran Image Processor on it with an action to watermark and add EXIF copyright data. This failed saying that it could not save to JPEG (it performed the action correctly, just stopped at saving it). This normally works fine with other TIFF 16 RGB images I have done.
I tried to save it manually, but at that point I noticed that the "save for web" option was grayed out and that the "Save As" dialog did not display JPEG in the options.
What I did:
1.) tried to open it with ACR and save it as JPEG. This has worked fine
2.) tried to resize it to 20000x3600 (more or less) and it worked fine (meaning the option to save it as JPEG where back there)
3.) tried to convert it full-size to 8 bit and that did not work
I'm not too bothered because I have the ACR workaround, but it is annoying and in the past I've done bigger panoramas with CS4 and I've never encountered this problem before now.
Any ideas?
The image is almost 1 GB so I'm not going to post it...
Thanks for your help!

My inital thoguht was: there must be some size limit on the JPEG format that this person is hitting.
So a quick Google search later (quicker than posting a thread!) and I found this: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/325/325073.html Although it's focussed on CS2/3 it seems that the limit of 30,000 pixels vertical or horizontal has remained in place for CS5.

    Hi, I'm trying to save a tiff of 137 MB that I've worked on in dodge and burn but already three times I get the message it can't be saved and aperturte should be quitted and restarted (?) Someone can help with this one?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Clem,
    Indeed I was low on spare space (10% left) so I changed that back to a save 25% of my HD. It doesn't help me out though; still getting this message after trying to save the tiff........

  • Can't auto blend two 8-bit RGB Images?

    So I'm trying to do a face blend and I've repeated the process three times in order to make sure I'm not making any mistakes, but I still can't auto blend the two layers. Any time I go Edit, auto-blend layers it's greyed out which is quite frustrating. I've taken a couple of screenshots to illustrate my problem. I am using CS6 on a new MacBook Pro. I've looked all over the internet including this site but not a single post I have found has helped me. Can anyone help me with this?

    Three problems
    One of the layers is a Smart object.  You can't use auto blend layers on a Smart Object.
    You have an active selection.  You can't use auto blend layers with an active selection.
    Auto blend layers is not a good choice for compositing the new face, and will give poor results.  Better to add a layer mask to the new face and feather the edges. 

  • If you change the image mode of this image from 8-bit RGB image to Grayscale mode while in PSCS – what will the new Pixel Count be?

    If you change the image mode of this image from 8-bit RGB image to Grayscale
    mode while in PSCS – what will the new Pixel Count be?

    If you mean by Pixel count the number of pixels, this will not change. The image will have the same size thus the same number of pixels.

  • Scripting to replace a layer in a psd file and save as a tiff for multiple images in a sequence

    I have over a hundred images, all the same size, that I need bring into photoshop as a designated layer, one at a time, flatten the image and save as a tiff file with a sequential number, then repeating the process. I have not used javascript before but it seems like it should work. I'm using CS5. Thanks

    It is possible to do that via Scripting.
    If you are unable to create such a Script maybe you should look up the chapter »Creating data-driven graphics« in the documentation.

  • I can only save as a tiff file

    Hi,
    I saved one file as .tif and now after using RAW to process images, opening in CS3, trying to save, there are no options either .jpg or .pds. I had to open two previously saved .jpg files, before I had the full range of choices.
    Is this normal?
    Thanks,

    Thanks, that is what I thought. I checked and it was in the 8 bit mode.
    As I mentioned it took loading a couple of other .jpg files to bring back the options.
    For now all is well.

  • Why can't i save in 2Gb tiffs photoshop?

    I am photographing my paintings in sections importing into lightroom applying colour correction then using a export preset, exporting to photoshop to merge to panoramic, saving as a tiff file back to lightroom 5.. However i'm getting a error message stating the image is too large for a tiff file. (over 2gb) So I then save in photoshop as a PSD.  then back in lightroom 5 i then export the PSD with a custom preset back into lightroom as a tiff file with no problems ... Why can i save the original tiff file, makes no sense..

    Hi monikak,
    What happens when you try to save your files to your Acrobat.com online account? Are you receiving an error message? If so, what is it?
    Also, it would be helpful to know what web browser you're using, and whether the problem occurs if you sign in using a different browser.
    We look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Can't save iDvD 08 project file

    Why cant I save a iDVD 08 project file thats been saved to a DVD? I saved a project file to a TDK DVD (its 2 Gb). I needed the space at the time, now I want to work on it again. When I try to copy it to my hard drive I keep getting an error saying it cant read certain files. Only 2Mb makes it over. I tried the copy/paste and the drag/drop copy ways. Neither works. What gives?
    Ideas?
    Steve

    True but it's the necessary approach to saving a project that requires further editing in the future (otherwise original files get moved / assets may change locations and will confuse iDvd)
    Quoting the Help Menu:
    Saving an iDVD project
    As you work on your DVD project, you should save it periodically to safeguard your work. When you want to move or back up your finished project to another computer, you can archive it.
    Archiving your project creates a copy of the project, keeping all of its elements together and linked within the project file. It can take awhile to archive a large project, but after you do, you can move the file to another computer or hard disk, and then open it at any time for further editing or burning to a DVD.
    You can also save your project as a disc image. Saving a disc image of your project means creating a file that is formatted just like a finished DVD, except it’s not actually burned on a disc.

  • Can I save an image as a 16-bit RGB JPG file?

    Is it possible to save an image as a 16-bit RGB file? I know I can work in RGB mode in 16-bits per channel and "save as" a JPG, but when re-opening the file it appears to have been converted to 8-bit.  My research seems to show a consistent theme that JPG is by definition an 8-bit format.  Nonetheless, I have a supplier who wants their images delivered in 16-bit or 32-bit RGB in JPG format.  Is this possible. If not, what might they mean by this?

    Not possible. Jpg does not support anything higher than 8 bit. I believe png supports 16 bits per channel, other than that you could send a tiff file, but be prepared for any in compatibilities, you may need to change some settings and try again.

  • Can't save _ANY_ images as JPEGs, even old JPEGs created a year ago.  I'm using CS4 PS, 8 bit mode, RGB.  Happened overnight?

    I've tried google, apparently the solution is always the mode and I'm using 8-bits, RGB.  That was on a new image my BIL asked me to work on... it started life as a PNG.  To double check, I opened a image from my camera taken a year ago, saved as a JPG after cropping, it opens as a JPG but I can't save it as a JPG with a new or the old name.  I'm baffled.

    Not quite sure I'm following you, but two things come to mind:
    1.— Make sure Photoshop is updated to version 11.0.2.  You have to update it manually.  The Adobe auto updater was utterly useless with CS4.
    2.— whenever something happens "suddenly", the first thing to try is to nuke the Photoshop preferences files.
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

  • Can't save in Adobe RGB, Elements 10

    I want to save a picture from Elements 10 to an Adobe RGB color space .jpg file.  I have set the color management optimiztion to Adobe RGB but it still saves as sRGB.  In the Save As window it says it is saving as ICC Adobe RGB but it saves it sRGB anyway!  Also, there's no way to know this unless you run another program that detects the color space, such as QImage.  Is this a bug or am I missing something?  I want to save in Adobe RGB.

    R_Kelly and MichelBParis,
    Thank you for looking into this for me!
    I'll try to answer R_Kelly's questions.  Not sure if it matters at this
    point but...
    Do I use File Save, or File Save As?  I use both.  I usually use File Save
    As when saving jpg.
    Are there layers in the file before saving?  No.  I always Flatten Image
    before saving jpg.
    What version of QImage am I using?  I'm using an old version, v2005.101.  I
    see that the latest version is, v2010.209 I believe.  This issue may have
    been corrected in subsequent versions beyond v2005.101.  I'm not going to
    be able to determine this myself as I have the old version I got from a
    friend just to see if the files are sRGB or AdobeRGB.  I don't have a
    printer hooked up myself.  My friend has the printer; an Epson 9800 44"
    printer.
    I see the thread from the PS / QImage posts.  Interesting.  Yes, seems like
    there are similar issues there.
    Let me see if I understand all this so I can take the appropriate measures.
    It appears that, due to the color space data being written in 2 places in
    jpg, QImage is the culprit in that it doesn't read the place where the
    Adobe color space information is written.  (Adobe may be arrogant but...).
    I wonder why Qimage recognizes the Adobe color space information in TIFF
    files and not in JPEGs.  Assuming Qimage does recognize the Adobe color
    space information in TIFF files does that mean I need to save in TIFF and send
    TIFF files to QImage?   If this is true then one should save using TIFF
    format and not JPEG using the v2005 version of QImage, which is what my
    friend prints my images with.  The disadvantage in doing this is that the
    TIFF files are much larger to store that JPEGs.  But, given the situation I
    need to save in TIFF.  Is that correct?
    Thanks a lot!

  • IN PSE11 can you save in 16-bit JPEG?

    IN PSE11 can you save in 16-bit JPEG?

    Of course, you can can convert a jpeg (=8 bits) image and save it as 16 bits in other formats than jpeg : especially PSD or TIFF.
    For that you have to use the ACR module : Open your 8 bits file with 'Open As', option 'camera raw' and in the bottom line menu of the ACR dialog, set the export option to 16 bits to open in the editor. From the editor you can save your image in one of the 16 bits compliant formats indicated in the above posts.
    Note that simply converting an 8 bits image into 16 bits does not add any new information. It is totally useless, unless your goal is to apply heavy editing where theoretically, you would gain some quality starting with 8 bits. Now, in my test, it has been extremely difficult to show the difference...
    When working with Elements, the main thing to remember is that the ACR module works internally in 16 bits and can be used for jpegs as well as raw files. That seems an unnecessary step for jpeg originals, but once you are used to it, you have a number of great advantages:
    - same proces that raw files if you use both input formats
    - easier and much better general corrections : white balance, exposure, highlight and shadow, clarity, denoising...
    - much quicker to correct bad exposures and white balance
    - ability to keep the same settings for the subsequent file to edit (impossible in the editor)
    - if you don't need to do further edits (in most cases) you can simply click 'Done' and your settings will be saved in the metadata section of the original files : the image pixels won't be changed and you'll save disk space because you don't need to save an 'edited' copy of the file. The non destructive 'conversion' is the same as in Lightroom : the original is kept and only the editing instructions are saved.
    I would say that in my own situation, the ACR plugin is the main software for most pictures, and the editor with layers, masks, filters and local tools is the accessory 'add-on' in most of my edits

  • How can I save the 12-bits gray scale image ?

    Software & Hardware
    NI-IMAQ Vision 6.0
    NI-IMAQ for 1394 2.0.0
    Hamamatsu C4742-95
    I acqured the 12-bits gray scale image (Format7 , 640X512 size , 12bits) successfully.
    And CWIMAQViewer display the correct image of which the range is from 0(black) to 4096(white).
    But, I don't find the way to save this image with 12-bits format T.T
    Always, CWIMAQVision object save this image to 8-bit format.
    I tested all formats - tiff, bmp, aip, png.
    I think there are two possible problems.
    1. I dont't know the way to save the 12bits gray scale image. :{
    2. I dont't know the way to read the 12bits gray scale image that saved correctly.
    How can I save and load the 12-bits gray scale image ?
    What is the solution for this problem T.T ?

    Hello,
    I would recommend taking a look at the "ReadImage" Visual Basic project for more information on setting the image type and saving the image to file.  When you run the program, make sure you select 16 bit for your image.  You can also add another button to this example for saving the image.  Within the click subroutine for the button, you can add the line:
    CWIMAQVision1.WritePNGFile CWIMAQViewer1.Image, "C://image.png"
    This method will save the image in the viewer as a png file.  As long as it was loaded as a 16 bit image, it should save all of the 12 bit information into the file.  You could then test the new image by loading it using the example (you can see the pixel values by right-clicking on the viewer and selecting Settings>>Show Image Info.  The pixel value displayed in the info bar corresponds to the mouse position.

  • I've doubled my RAM but still can't save big files in photoshop...

    I have just upgraded my Ram from the shipped 4GB to 8GB but I still can't save big images in photoshop. It seems to have made no difference to the speed of general tasks and saving and I can't save big files in photoshop at all. I already moved massive amounts of files off my computer and onto my external hard drive, so there is much less in my computer now, and twice the RAM but it is making no noticeable difference. When I click memory, under 'about my mac' it shows that the RAM is installed and now has twice the memory. Could this be something to do with photoshop? I'm running CS6.

    Also, I just calculated 220 cm into inches and this is roughly 86.5 inches. Over 7 feet in length.
    WIth an image that large, you may want to consider down sampling to a lower DPI to help with being able to work on and process images of this size much easier and it will be easier for your Print house to process, as well.
    You might want to consider working with these rather large images at 225 DPI instead of 300 if resolution at close distances is still a concern.
    Or what you good try is working with the images at 300 DPI, but then save them/export them as a Jpeg image at the highest image quality setting.
    I do a lot of project where I use a high resolution jpeg image to save on image proceesing overhead.
    The final printed images still come out pretty clear, clean and crisp without having to process those large files at a print house or having to deal with using that full resolution image in a page layout or illustration program.

  • WIN 7/32-bit, Acrobat Standard 9, can't save pdf in "libraries" folders

    I am running Windows 7/32-bit with Acrobat Standard 9.3.2, the operating system is fully patched and updated.
    For some odd reason, when I try to convert an office document (working in Office 2003) via the "convert to PDF" button in the "acrobat PDF" toolbar I can't save the document in my "libraries" folder.  This folder of course contains "my documents" and is where I prefer to save most of my PDF files.  I click on "libraries" to select the place to save the PDF but all that comes up is "no items match your search."
    Alternatively, if I try to print the office document to the Adobe PDF printer I get to the menu where it asks where I want to save the PDF file and again, I cannot access the libraries folder.  Other locations work fine, such as the desktop, network folders, accessing the C drive and doing down the tree to "my documents', but not the actual libraries folder.  Acrobat almost seems to think it is blank.
    I'd appreciate any ideas, as I have several users under me in the same position.

    Hi Guys,
    I have the solution to your problems and I will go ahead an explain it in detail so that no questions will be raised.
    I have struggled to get WINDOWS 7 (32BIT) to run on the Touchsmart 300 PC now for three days (and nights) but I know how you can do it.
    The problem lies within the VGA Adapter (Graphics Card) this little buddy has incompatible drivers with the inbuilt functions of the Touchsmart PC in its generic (Windows Preloaded) form. Therefore what you can do is the this.
    Step 1: Insert Windows 7 (32Bit) disk and start the setup process and follow it until it hits the problem. (Millisecond of Bluescreen)
    Step 2: Once the PC starts booting repeatedly press F8 (I mean it just keep on pressing that button until you can select "Safe Mode")
    Step3: Once Windows Setup screen is back it will tell you an error! Which is good. INSTEAD of pressing "OK" (to restart) press SHIFT + F10 (opens the command prompt)
    Step4: You should automatically be in \Windows\System32 now enter the following command: CompMgmtLauncher (This is the Device Manager).
    (If the default directory is not System32 the navigate to it by entering "cd windows" and "cd system 32" (cd = change directory)
    Step5: In the Device Manager (do not worry it will take some time to load) select navigate to "Display Adapters" - "ATI Radeon ..." RIGHT-CLICK on it and choose disable. (To be sure Windows will not have any other troubles you should do the same for all highlighted devices. the once with the yellow triangle)
    Step6: Once this is done restart your system and let the install run into the normal mode and finish the install.
    Step7: Once Windows starts for the first time. Use the provided ATI Radeon Driver from HP (NOT the original one) from the support download website to install the correct driver.
    Step8: Resart and enjoy!
    Hope this helps and let me say to AMD/ATI yopu guys really suck at your one product drivers!
    Cheers and Out.
