Change jpeg to tiff

I am a new lightroom user. I have a catalog of 2600 images that are jpeg files. I would like to change to file type tiff.
What would be the best method to get things changed?  THANKS for any suggestions.

If editing in PS or other jpegs there are very valid reasons for usin TIFFs.
Geoff,
the OP is talking about converting the thick end of 3000 jpegs into tiffs, and that's fairly pointless.
It'd only make any sense (and even then not a lot) if he intends to do multiple edits/saves on the files in a non-destructive way: but if he wants that tiff benefit, the files really should be tiffs from the start - all the advantages of 16 bits' worth of data are already gone, and any "damage" to the files caused by jpeg compression will be "baked in".
He's thrown the baby out with the bathwater if he's going from jpeg to tiff to - eventually - go back to jpeg.
As an aside, I'd use the batch conversion function in Irfanview to do the job.

  • Program changes .jpeg to .tiff

    My Photoshop Starter 3.0 changes images taken in jpeg into .tiff when downloading from the camera.
    It only does this with my new Canon Powershot A470, not the old Olympus D-390.
    Is there a way to stop this????
    Thanks!

    There's no setting to change file formats for download, but cameras are capable of capturing and storing files in either JPEG or TIF; my guess is that you are capturing the original file as a TIF on that camera.

  • Photoshop Album Started changes .jpeg into .tiff

    I use Photoshop Album Starter 3.0 and have been very happy with it when using my Olympus Camera. I recently purchased a new Canon Powershot A470, and when downloading images from the camera, Photoshop Album changes a .jpeg into a .tiff.
    How do I tell the program not to do this?
    Thanks!!!

  • How does ACR save edited JPEG and TIFF files?

    When a JPEG or TIFF file is edited in ACR, are the edits destructive when you click the "Done" button, permanently changing the file? Or is the edit info saved in sidecar files like with edited RAW files, not affecting the original file?
    If I reopen a previously edited JPEG file in ACR, will the adjustment settings be the same as where I left off, allowing me to change those edits, like a crop or HSL adjustment? Thanks.

    First: There is a Camera RAW Forum.
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw
    Second: It should be fairly simple to test your hypotheses.
    And on my station at least it appears the data is stored in the file and not as a sidecar-file.

  • Open Jpeg and tiff in ACR as a choice

    It would be nice to be able in choosing wether to open jpeg and tiff in ACR using right mouse click menu. AFAIK now you only can set preferences to open these files always in ACR or never.

  • 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 I automate the writing of XMP metadata into JPEG and TIFF files?

    I have written an ASP.NET 3.5 website application on behalf of an annual international photographic competition. Entrants will be uploading digital photos in either JPEG or TIFF format. Ideally, I would write entrant identity and image title information into the XMP metadata for each image immediately after upload - but so far, I have failed to find any way to do this in ASP.NET.
    Thousands of images are involved, so I need to find a way to automate the metadata insertion, perhaps with some sort of script that uses a text file (extracted from the SQL Server database on my website) as the source of the metadata for a batch of images. Is this the sort of task that can be done by writing a script for Bridge CS3? Are there any scripts already in existence that I could use? I am a total beginner in this area.
    I use a Win XP PC, though I have a colleague who, I think, has CS3 on his Mac (running under the Leopard OS), so scripts for either platform might be usable.

  • I use images for presentations. Recently I've noticed a decrease in quality ( sharpness and definition) of pictures copied into Keynote. Same problem with both JPEGs and TIFF files. I've recently upgraded to keynote 09, but with no improvement.

    I use images of paintings for presentations. Over the last 3 months or so I've noticed that I cannt copy images (either JPEg or TIFF) without a reduction in sharpness and definition. Hope someone can help with this problem.

    Figured it out myself! yay!  (only took my entire moring)
    The solution:
    Dont print to PDF!
    SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
    This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

  • Color change when Importing TIFF

    I was importing a photo to test the color calibration of my monitor (it was a sample tiff photo from a website I found). The colors look good using preview but once I import it into aperture the white part of the photo (background) becomes pink?

    For disabling JPEG in ACR go to EDIT => Preferences => Camera Raw and switch it to "Disable JPEG Support" at the bottom in JPEG and TIFF handling.
    It seems that you apply the ProPhoto colorspace via ACR.
    So the result can have two reasons: either the JPEG was saved untagged (converted to ProPhoto but without embedded colorspace) or it was tagged and saved with an embedded profile, but the other applications are non- or wrong colormanaged. Both will result in a desaturated image like it shows up to the right:
    How the appear in a non-colormanaged browser, see the names:
    Also the # in the image name (3rd image) indicates that your color settings (workspace settings) in PS are different from the colorspace of the image.
    Either apply sRGB when you go through ACR or disable the open JPEG with ACR feature as desribed above, which should preserve the original colorspace.

  • Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?

    Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?  Changing the quality of the print changes the size of the saved file and thus impacts the speed at which it is moved on the internet.  But other than size of the file, what is the advantage of changing the quality?

    I have no idea why you would want to do anything
    Some people want lower quality to reduce file size for different reasons
    It is an option - if you do pot want to do that do not use that option

  • Jpeg or tiff files....which ones ?

    I really need to know what is best for keeping the pictures and working with them. I shot my camera Fuji S2 Pro at High quality giving abut a picture of 34 MB. In Tiff format of corse that is to much to keep on the library I was over 36 GB. on my powerboo, so I decided to keep the original on an external hard drive and export the picture on JPEG or Tiff here is the dilema, is beter to export the full image as JPEG (using iphoto export capability) or to reduce the image ...say to 1500 x 1000 Tiff document and then import to the new iphoto library on the poerbook...I undertood that JPEG images lose quality when they are open , and close or ¿just whe they are resave? . Well is perfectly find to stick to JPEG can some body make clear what is the diference beween JPEG and Tiff?. ¿I there a quick way to swicht between iphoto libraries?
    Thanks....

    A quick way to switch between iPhoto libraries?
    Search versiontracker.com for iPhoto Buddy and or iPhoto Library Manager.
    I think that jpegs loose a little quality when resaved, not when opened and closed.
    It would be better to export full size jpg rather than reduce the size.

  • Kamera-jpeg in tiff speichern in PSE5

    als totaler PSE5-Anfänger werde ich trotz Handbuch nicht schlau:wie kann ich meine jpegs(habe absolut keine Lust auf RAW)am besten und einfachsten verlustfrei als Tiff speichern?Reicht es,die Dateien als Jpeg zu importieren und erst nach evtl Bearbeitung als Tiff zu speichern oder muß ich das schon beim importieren vor der Bearbeitung machen?Falls die Umwandlung nur nach Bearbeitung ausreicht,muss ich dann jedes einzelne Bild umständlich in Tiff umwandeln?
    für eine kurze Info dankt ein genervter Anfänger im voraus

    Danke für die Antwort
    1.Gegen RAW spricht,dass ich keine Lust auf aufwendige Bildbearbeitung habe,mit den Jpegs aus meiner Sony R1 und Fuji S5 bin ich vollkommen zufrieden.
    2.Ich will Jpegs nach TIFF konvertieren,um sie Verlustfrei zu speichern.
    3.Ich MÖCHTE NICHT in RAW arbeiten.Meine Zeit für ein Foto verbringe ichaltmodisch vor der Aufnahme kreativ hinter der Kamera,nicht vor dem Screen!
    4.Genau hier wollte ich als Anfänger Hilfe haben,für mich sind genau diese einfachen Fragen,wie ja gepostet,nicht schlüssig.....
    Vielleicht kann mir jemand einen kurzen Tip geben,ohne mich von RAW überzeugen zu wollen..danach hatte ich nicht gerfragt,
    Danke

  • Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files.

    I'm using Panasonic LX3 with its RAW format (a supported RAW format since sometimes with iPhoto '09 already)
    When I choose to Photo Stream my images after import with iPhoto '11, it says "Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files."
    My files are RAW formats so why can't I photo stream it?!
    Is there something I can get around or need to wait for Apple to support this?!

    You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
    What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
    As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
    This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
    Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary  if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

  • Importing JPEG and TIFF

    I have some jpeg and tiff images on a disc. I saved the images to my desktop and then imported them into FCP. The problem is that some of the files seem to be bad. Some have a red horizontal line through them and some have blue lines through them. I checked it on another computer and they read fine. I tried saving the images to the desktop a second time but now different images are bad. FCP will not read the bad files.
    Any thoughts?

    Bad quality when looking at the pictures via the
    canevas on the computer or via an external screen ?
    The RGB check is a really good idea. I would also consider putting the images on an external media file. The fact that FC is looking on the system drive could be causing some of the problem.
