Changing JPEG to .psd or .tiff

I am using iphoto 8 and elements 6..
My photos are in JPEG format. I would like to edit and save them into Photoshop (.psd) or TIFF (.tiff). When I go to File--Save As and choose Tiff or Photoshop from the pull-down menu the photo disappears (I cannot find it in iPhoto or anywhere else).
Want to change format/and edit photos in elements, then move them back to iphoto in new format..
is this possible and if so how....
thx much

Never make any changes of any sort to the contents of the iPhoto library including saving photos directly into it - they must be imported
If you what to change the format then do a save as in PSE and save to the desktop - import to iPhoto from there and delete the desktop copy (assuming that you are using the default referenced library - The iPhoto advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" is checked)

  • PSE 10 will not edit large picture files after it accepts them. After editing it either changes jpeg to psd or greys out the file.  What must I do?

    PSE 10 allows large picture files into the organizer and editor but after editing, saving, and closing, the jpeg returns to the organizer either with a psd file extension or as a greyed out broken photo icon . Why does it cause users to waste time editing files that are too large. How do I solve the problem?

  • AUTOMATOR actions... converting Jpeg to PSD...

    Hi guys
    I am trying to find an action to convert about 10.000 photos and pictures from Jpeg to PSD... impossible to do it one by one, opening and saving using Photoshop CS... it'd take me forever!
    I was even able to download a pretty nice action from Apple called "Change File Format 1.3"... it's very good but it doesn't support PSD... only .TIFF files...
    I found another Automator Action for Photoshop CS "Photoshop Actions for Automator 1.0 " but it downloads as a .SIT file and I can't open it...
    Does anyone know where I can get an Automator Action to convert Jpeg to PSD files???
    Cheers

    Problem solved!
    Thank you guys!
    I downloaded Stuffit Express... so I was able to open "Photoshop Actions for Automator 1.0 "
    http://www.completedigitalphotography.com/index.php?p=339
    Great pack and I was able to open the .sit file and just dragged the actions to my Photoshop CS folder... and it immediatly showed up on AUTOMATOR...
    So, I just made a PSD copy of each Jpeg...
    Thank you

  • Rendering PSD and Tiff files in Shaked

    Bonjour. All of my psd and tiff renders in Shake are creating invalid files, i.e. that can't be opened in Shake itself of Photoshop etc.
    Anyone have a line on this? Open exr and jpeg files render fine.

    I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this request, but I figured that this was the best place to ask.
    These feature requests better be placed in the correct location:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    You also might get a better answer but I'm not sure what way you need to leave comments and notes. You already have the option to label and rate the files and of course you have the IPTC Metadata to leave comments in (e.g. IPTC status / instructions).
    As for the request to view layers, that would be nice but certainly not easy to realize. But it might be useful to extend this request in more detail, about how would you see them. Currently the preview window has a max of 9 files to view in one panel, would you see them scrollable or together in one window? Some layers have only masks or brush corrections in masks, would you see them in the same way as in PS using alt click on a mask?
    The more detailed you make your feature request the better chance in getting more votes and better replies in possibility etc.

  • When selecting Export- email medium jpeg I get a tiff format

    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Aperture 3.2.4.
    When I use Export and select Email...
    Small jpeg     I get a  .jpg file format
    Medium jpeg   I get a .tiff file format
    Large jpeg   I get a .jpg file format
    I was using RAW format and exported Version.
    Any thoughts?

    Check the settings of the "Email Medium" setting.
    Select the "Email Medium" setting in the "Export" panel.
    Then switch the setting to "Edit". What is the setting of the "Image format" pop up panel? Does it show "Jpeg" or "Tiff"?
    If the format is set to "tiff", change it back to jpeg.

  • Why won't Final Cut Pro import layers in PSD or TIFF files?

    I'm trying to import layers that were created as EPS files.  I converted them into PSD and TIFF files in Photoshop CS6.  FCP is rejecting the PSD files and flattening the the TIFFs.  Help!

    Perfect.  I changed the mode to RGB and it worked.  I had already confirmed the layers were all rasterized.  Thank you for your help.

  • Photoshop PDF vs PSD vs Tiff

    I'm a little confused with all these different formats. Is there a difference between a layered PDF, a PSD, or layered tiff? When I import into Indesign, I normally use PSD to preserve the transparecny of the background. But when I have vector info in the Photoshop doc, I save as a Photoshop PDF and unlink layers to make the file smaller. But should I be saving the layers and then just getting rid of the original PSD?

    >For printing purposes, would it be best to link to a Photoshop PDF with no layers?
    no.
    >Also, if I save a Photoshop PDF with layers, and import it into InDesign, when I click on edit PDF it always opens in Acrobat. Is there anyway to avoid this?
    yes. using get info on the file change the pdf to open in Photoshop
    >do you think Photoshop PDF format should just replace PSDs?
    not for me. it does create a much bigger file as it has to retain so much data I much prefer PSD or Tiff. unless you have vector objects in all your photoshop files there is no point. If you are placing the files in ID why not set the type in ID it is much more practical.

  • 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

  • RAW+jpeg+tif+psd all same name import solution found  !!!!!!

    Pardon the fact that this reiterates information now part of other threads, but this is an issue of make or break proportions for some users--it certainly was for me. And it needs prominent clarification
    So I decided to give itits own thread! I had written off LR for production work when the word got out that the same name solution was only partial in 1.1. I needed to see archived folders with same named sets of RAW, tif, jpeg, and psd images ( or combnations thereof). There is a solution to getting these into LR:
    Jim Burgess found that if you import a newly made folder that has a RAW, tif, jpeg, and psd with the same name, it will bring them all in side by side.
    I had at first found that none of my existing folders in the db could be refreshed from the INSIDE and do that--all that got brought in was the jpeg to join the RAW of the same name already in there!
    After learning of Jim's success, I then deleted a folder that was already in the db that had all four same name but different format files in it with only the RAW showing. I then reimported that folder and it saw all the files with the same name (all four formats-RAW,tif,jpeg, and psd) and ingested them.
    Why it can't be refresed from the inside is a mystery to me--or I just haven't discovered any way to do it, and I have tried synchronize folder and reimport repeatedly--neither work. Looks like one has to dump the folder and then import it afresh to get them all--but that for sure will do it! Whoopoeee!
    It does mean that if new file formatted images with the same name get added from outside LR to a folder already in LR with the RAW in there, that you will then have to delete that folder and reimport when you go back to LR.
    Looks like an incomplete implementation of this feature to me, but a whole lot better than not being able to see all same named files side by side.

    It is actually pretty easy for those only wanting to get the jpegs from existing folders, and fine for importing new folders. I am still puzzed why they implemented it this way--or perhaps they intended that one could use synchronize folders to get all the formats in, and this is really just a 'bug'.
    In any event, let's hope they finish the job.

  • File name changed to "1.psd"

    During a PS CS5.5 session the default file name is changed to "1.psd" and the file is corrupted and unopenable.  This has happened on windows machines with several different OS, including XP64, Win7, and Win8.  Correcting the default name does not correct the corruption of the file.

    So you export a file from Lightroom to a Folder then open that file with PS, then have issues???
    Why are you not just opening the original file in PS directly from Lightroom?

  • External editor format: PSD or TIFF

    In Aperture's preferences panel I am curious about the option for PSD or TIFF as the file format for files transfered to the external editor. I would have assumed that PSD was the most efficient file format (especially for images with lots of layers/channels/transparency).
    The preferences panel says that TIFF is more efficient for metadata.
    Anyone able to summarize the benefits of the two formats for use from Lightroom

    Say farewell to PSD. The TIFF format provides everything that the legacy PSD provides. I also believe that TIFF ZIP compression provides better disk savings at the expense of more processor time.
    I use TIFF exclusively both within Lightroom and Photoshop. One annoying feature of some of my older PSD files is that before I can import them to Lightroom I have to re-save them with maximum file compatibility. I don't bother and just save them as TIFF.

  • Which option do you use? PSD or TIFF for external edits?

    I'd like to hear why you use PSD or TIFF for external edits. Why do you choose one over the other? Do you wish you had a choice, as in an option, when you click on Edit in External Editor?

    I did a little reading on this and this is what I have found so far:
    Deke McClelland in Adobe Photoshop CS2 one-on-one states:
    "TIFF is a wonderful format to use when handing off CMYK files because it enjoys wide support and prints without incident."
    He also states "Photoshop also lets you save layers to the TIFF and PDF formats, but where multilayer compositions are concerned, the native PSD Format enjoys wider support among other imaging applications (including, older versions of Photoshop itself)."
    Classroom In A Book states:
    "TIFF is used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms. TIFF is a flexible format supported by virtually all pain, image-editing, and page-layout applications. Also, virtually all destop scanners can produce TIFF images.
    "PSE is the default file format. Because of the tight integration between Adobe products, other Adobe applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe GoLive can directly import PSD files and preserve many Photoshop features.
    Apple Aperture 1.5 by Mike Cuenca:
    "PSD: The Photoshop proprietary format is widely used by digital imaging professionals because it supports the storage of alpha channels and layers. Aperture will preserve this extra data byt will not display the layers or channels. PSD files are not compressed, and although they are intended for use within Photoshop, they are becoming more widely accepted outside Photoshop."
    "TIFF: The TIFF format is the recommended format for high quality storage of master images. It has a loss-less compression method that can be applied, but more often the images are stored uncompressed. The TIFF format is also the most widely used format for images destined to be printed on a printing press."

  • Missing codec for JPEG or PSD?

    Hi!
    I just used the Encore CS5 (Master Collection) for the first time after installing.  I was working with 2.0 before.
    I normally use it to author DVDs, especvially photo slideshows with a song in the background. So no big deal. That worked just fine with AE2. Its a PAL DVD, with Stereo Sound, one Menu. System Win 7 x64.
    Now I've a set of 150 JPEGS (or PSDs as well) that should be imported in Encore as a screen presentation. Import / as screen presentation imports about 70 pics and for the rest I have the screen messsage "The software to decrypt the media in this system is not available. Try to fix the problem by installing the correct decoders for the files."
    What codec do I need to decrypt JPEGS / PSDs nowadays? That're just normal jpeg pics? And If so, what codec do I need than?
    Can anyone help with this?
    Best regrads,
    MI

    If some work and some don't, the USUAL cause is bad or missing header information in the file that confuses Encore
    Open and resave in Photoshop and see if that fixes the problem

  • Multiple jpeg image  to single tiff image

    hi all
    i am doing a project in java where i need to convert 10 jpeg images into a single tiff image..conversion of single jpeg image to single tiff is happening but embedding all the 10 jpeg images into a single tiff is not happening..i hav tried out with single image conversion..
    My code is
    import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

    can anyone pls help me how to do that
    thanx in advance

    Make a Buffered Image large enough to handle the size of the final image... say you have 10 jpegs each 100x100, and you want them in a configuration with 5x2... 500x200.
    Once you have the images loaded and the new BufferedImage, just paint them into the appropriate (x, y) value of the graphics context of the image.
    g.drawImage(image1, 0, 0, null);
    g.drawImage(image2, 100, 0, null);
    g.drawImage(image3, 300, 0, null);

  • How to compress image files, jpeg, bmp, gif, png, tiff, etc

    I am new to Jave imaging, does anybody know how to compress an image file, including jpeg, bmp, gif, png, tiff format.
    Thanks
    JC

    some are already compressed.
    If you just want generic compression, it doesn't really matter what type of file they are. A simple approach would be to use ZipOutputStream
