Corrupted TIF files restore

Hello
as i was working on a TIF file in Photoshop, my computer unexpectidly restarted
then, when i opened my TIF work in Photoshop, an error message appeared "Could not complete your request beacause of a p^roblem parsing the TIFF file."
Looks like my file is corrupted, no ?
here is a .png version of the corrupted picture
the below half is totally black and a multicolor line devides the pic on the half
Can i send the .tif file to Adobe team so that you restore it ??
it seems Windows hasn't made a backup of the file before the accident
Here is a look of a previous .png version to see what it supposes to look like
Thanks for your help

Yes, that file appears to have been corrupted on disk, probably beause it wasn't finished writing when the computer restarted (BTW - that probably means you have some defective hardware in the system, you need to get that looked at).
It is unlikely that anything more can be recovered.

  • Corrupted tif files

    Hi All,
    I was working on a big tif file 2g at size, I edit it with photoshop through adobe lightroom. Due to unknown reason, when i tried to save the file in photoshop, and I was informed the file is non-accessible. It ends up the file is disappeared from hardisk and I used some recovery software to retrieve the tif files. However, it seems a corrupted tif files which can't open in Photoshop or Irfanview.
    the error message I got from photoshop is 'could not complete your request, because it is not the right kind of file'.. it is a tif file with layers.
    I had tried to google and search, it seems there is no way to repair a corrupted tif files.
    Do I have a chance to restore it using any method?
    thank you.

    I'm sorry to hear of your loss of data.
    Generally speaking, lost image data is usually really lost, especially if any recovered files you've identified to possibly contain your images are not opening in the ways you've tried...
    Just basic stuff you've probably already thought of:
    Have you made sure to rename files you're hoping to be TIFFs with the .tif file extension?
    Did you File - Save As your file anywhere else?
    Did you do a system backup that might have saved an earlier copy of the file to external media?

  • Lightroom and corrupted tif files.

    For some reason, now when I right click on tif file in windows I'm getting a pop up box that states;
    Explorer. Tif:corrupt file.
    This applies to all tif files on all drives.
    I first noticed this with imported to lightroom from raw pef files, processed and then exported from light room.
    it also includes files opened from Pentax RAW files, processed with ACR and CS2 then saved as tiffs.
    any ideas?
    Simon.

    No. I'm running XP and my files are Pentax PEF raw files and tiffs created from these.
    Tiffs opened from a cd are fine - as are tiffs copied to my PC from cds. It's as if windows has decided that there is a problem with all tiffs on the machine.
    double clicking them - they open fine in CS2.
    If I right click to get the menu - then the error message clicks in.

  • Corrupt TIF files? How to recover?

    Hello there Gentlemen and Ladies.........
    I have recently had to recover 4000dpi scans which are TIF
    from a erased disk (sad and painful), each scan took me 10 minutes
    to complete , and now i have 130mb TIF files which Photoshop
    cannot open, because it says they are not TIF format...!!!
    I know they were fine before my recovery operation. clearly something
    has gone wrong, what tool could uncorrupt the TIF files back to normal?
    I can see their size is still 130mb after recovery, just the file format does
    not open!
    cheerio

    I used Data Rescue X II to recover the files from the deleted 100GB partition,
    it took me forever to recover them, and generating them was even more
    of a pain (i rented a Nikon ED4000 to make them)
    I need those images desperatley
    A mate of mine suggested using a Windows PC to recover them, and move
    the files on to Windows...i dare not
    appreciate any help, surely there must be a way, there is good data in those 130mb files...

  • HELP! Corrupt raw .TIF files

    In 2005 I was shooting with a Canon 1Ds Mark2 and the raw files were .TIF files.
    There was one shoot where all the files were perfectly fine and I had no problem with them.
    However, I've now gone back to that shoot and every single one of the raw .TIF files now say: "Could not complete your request because the file is not a TIFF file." when I try to open them. They still have the proper file size so they're not blank.
    This mystifies me because there was never a problem with them back when and now EVERY SINGLE ONE of them says that?
    Does anyone have any idea how to rectify this?
    THANKS!

    I'm on an Intel-based PowerMac so Photoshop CS5 is running fine.
    You're correct, I wrote the wrong thing down about the camera, it WAS the 1Ds - my current camera is the 1DsMark2.
    You're correct that Camera Raw still opens 1Ds .TIF files, the problem is that it won't open THESE 1Ds .TIF files as it did back when I first shot them. For some reason, the particular files from this shoot are NOW not opening although they did back when.
    Just so I'm clear, the specific files I'm talking about I had no problem opening when I transferred them from my CF card. NOW I'm not able to. This is not the case for ALL these shoots I did back then, just from this one shoot.

  • CS3 cannot open original TIF file after "save as" Photoshop PDF

    Mac OS X 10.4.11, Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1), 2.5 GB RAM, and the files are saved to the afp file server (Windows Server 2000 SP4 running Services For Macintosh). When saving a TIF file as a PDF the original TIF file cannot be opened again.
    Once Photoshop starts doing this I have to restart the system before the corruption problem goes away. The problem with that is if I do not catch it, I might convert 20 or so files in a day before I catch the problem. Once the TIF files are corrupt, the only thing I can do is restore from backup (long process) or save as again from the PDF file to TIF to place in my InDesign file. When I open the original TIF file I get an error: "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file." OR "Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing a TIFF file."
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Justin,
    >and the files are saved to the afp file server
    If you are saving directly to the server, that can be trouble, particularly if IT is clueless or not vigilant about network issues and maintenance. Adobe specifically warns against working across your network. Please see the FAQ and numerous topics on this "problem".
    Basically, drag-copy the file to your local drive. Work locally. Save locally. Drag-copy the completed file back to the server.
    Let us know if working as I've just described "solves" the problem.

  • KB2878233 corrupts PowerPoint file type associations (bis).

    Dear,
    I posted the question below a week ago in the Office forums on answers.microsoft.com, but did not receive any reaction. Allow me to repeat:
    Installing the KB2878233 security update corrupts the file type associations for PowerPoint files in the following environment: Windows XP SP3 ("fully" updated) / PowerPoint
    Viewer v. 14.0.7015.1000.
    PPT files get associated with MOC.EXE for opening them.  Uninstalling the update does not restore the original associations.  The problem can be alleviated by repairing the PPT Viewer installation manually.
    Question: can this High Priority security update please be re-released through Windows Update without the corruption effects?
    TIA.
    Kind Regards,
    Jan J.
    Brussels, Belgium

    Hi,
    We can try to change the file associate in Registry key:
    For all users on this computer, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes.
    For current user account, please change associate program of the .doc or file type you would like to under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes. If there is no such extension, please create new keys for it.
    Hope these could be helpful.

  • Photoshop can't open TIF file?

    I've just received a TIF file (approx 5mb) that Photoshop can't open.  I get an error: " Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop".  I've never had trouble with TIFs before, and assumed a TIF is a TIF is a TIF....
    I also tried opening the TIF file in the 32-bit version of PS CS5, but got the same error.  I then tried it on my 32-bit Vista machine, and got the same error in both Photoshop CS5 and CS3.
    The file itself is OK - I opened it no problem in Corel Photopaint (latest version) and resaved it as a PSD file, which then opened fine in PS. Seems odd that a flaky Corel program is more compatible than Photoshop!  It's a recently created TIF file too, just a photo of a new product.
    Anyone else struck this issue?
    I'm running CS5 on a Win 7 64-bit PC with Core i7 850, 12gb ram.

    Most likely the TIFF contains Photoshop metadata or layer data, and that part is corrupt.
    Other applications won't read that section of the file, and thus won't see the corruption.
    It's not a matter of compatibility, or the file format - it's a matter of Photoshop reads more than other apps, and detects the corruption that other apps are ignoring.

  • Problem retaining link to .tif file in Illustrator

    I'm using CS4 on a PC, however this problem dates back to Version 9 of Illustrator.
    I link .tif files to Illustrator .eps files, so that if I make changes to the .tif, the Illustrator file will show the changes. I place the .tif on a layer, making sure that I've checked the box to "place" rather than "embed" the file. In the upper left corner of the top tool bar, I verify the link by seeing that the file is identified as "linked file". All is good. Now, I save the file, close it, reopen it, and presto, sometimes it has become an embeded file. When this happens, the toolbar will now read "Group." No attempts to replace or re-link the file will be successful. It is as though the file has been corrupted. The only solution I have found is to create a new file and start over.
    Any suggestions?

    Thank you for answering.
    It happens with CMYK files. I haven't used a clipping mask. I routinely use the overprint feature on elements that are on a layer above the .tif, with no resulting problems. I always lock the .tif layer to prevent bad things from happening.
    But if you are saying that some kind of file conversion can happen automatically to "retain appearance", and that no warning or verification occurs, that is interesting. Do you know of a way to reverse this effect?

  • Wrong image resolution for TIF file

    Under OSX 10.6.2, the image resolution using Preview application is wrong for FAX MultiPages TIFF files.
    If I open up a file with this resolution:
    Image size: 1728 x 1081 pixels
    Image DPI: 204 x 98 pixels/inch
    Color Model: Gray.
    The image always show up all squeezed vertically which tells me the Preview application is not processing the DPI properly. When using the size menu from tools, it assumes the resolution is the same for vertical and horizontal which is wrong.
    I'm unable to use the Preview application to read FAX TIFF files with the standard FAX resolution.
    How do I open up a trouble ticket with Apple developers to fix this issue? I believe it's a software design issue assuming that all TIFF files use the same resolution for both horizontal and vertical DPI. The Preview application should be able to handle different DPI for horizontal and vertical resolution.
    We're a small business and we are running the whole office with Mac Minis and iMac with a Mac Mini Server of course. We love it, but we have this annoying bug which I don't have any way to fix it.
    Thank you,
    Stephan Monette
    Unlimitel Inc.

    Here's a sample of the tif file from our fax machine you can download:
    http://www.hmnet.net/warp2/fax-standard.tif
    Download the file on your desktop and try opening it. You will see the square at the bottom will look like a rectangle. With the right resolution, it should look like a square, not a rectangle.
    If I open the file with Windows picture and fax viewer, the resolution is fine and the square looks like a square. But the same file on Windows with Quicktime fails to open and it complains about a corrupted file.
    On my MAC, the file opens with Preview, but the resolution is wrong.
    Maybe the FAX server is not formatting the TIFF file properly, but we can't fix that since there's no more support for it. But the Windows app is able to open it up with the right resolution. So maybe it's just some code change to do in the Preview app.
    Thanks,

  • My iPod generation 6 160gb will not sync. iTunes says corrupt, won't restore just errors out and then loops the same messages.

    My iPod is corrupt according to iTunes, however it won't restore through iTunes either.  I've tried to reformat the drive.  Makes no difference.  I've tried to reformat after choosing disk manager, and again the same result.  The iPod takes forever to work through the reformatting process and I get the same message "Itunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod" and then my pc tells me to format the disk.
    It's so frustrating, is there a fix to this? It seems like the iPod could still function, but I'm missing the way to get out of this loop, please help me!

    Likely a hard drive fault, see the note that i wrote few years ago, hopefully it helps
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    http://www.ifixit.com/
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

  • Problem opening 32bit HDR tif file

    Hi
    This is driving me mad. I've searched the forum and there are several similar posts, none of which solve this problem, so I'm posting a new thread.
    Essential stuff:
    CS5 v12.0.3 x32
    Windows Vista 2G RAM
    Memory usage in CS5 performance preferences set to 59% (I've tried everything from 10% to 90%)
    Windows Virtual Memory set to 4G
    Scratch disk has 20G free
    I've already tried deleting the preferences file
    The file it can't open is a 32bit HDR tif, 135Mb (hardly huge). I immediately get the error "Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM)" - yes, I've goggled this but the suggested solutions don't help. It routinely opens 32bit HDR tif files of about 35Mb, so I'm guessing the problem is something to do with the file size.
    If anyone can help I'd be eternally grateful
    Thanks

    2 GB isn't really a lot of RAM to have in your system by today's standards, though one would think it would be enough that you should be able to open a single 135 MB file...
    What's the pixel count in that file?
    How was the file created?
    I just started a fresh copy of Photoshop CS5 32 bit and it seems to be taking about 200 MB in RAM, before opening any image.
    Just guessing at the image size, I created and saved a 141,193,460 byte 32 bit TIFF file.  Opening that file, peak memory usage by Photoshop (program and data) was a hair under 500 MB.
    Given that your OS should be using no more than about 500 MB to 1 GB of RAM, this should still leave space available for you to open this one file.
    Have you tried creating and saving another file of equal size, and opening that?  Doing so could help determine whether perhaps the file you're trying to open is somehow corrupted, or whether it's a basic RAM problem.
