CS5: 16 Bit, File - Save As JPEG - No Size Pre-Calculation

I just want to say thanks again to the engineers at Adobe for finally adding the ability to save a 16 bit per channel file as a JPEG without first converting to 8 bit mode. It will save me a bunch of future "aw dang" moments when I realize I've forgotten to go back in the history after saving to restore my file to 16 bits per channel.
I've noticed the pre-calculation of the JPEG file size estimate, however, is not correct when saving from a 16 bit file... Usually it just shows "--" though I believe I've seen it say 0 kb at one time or another (could be wrong)... I assume this is because the size estimate algorithm doesn't know about 16 bit data. It seems to work as usual for 8 bit data.
Is this a well-known glitch and can we expect a fix (Chris)? It's a minor annoyance but as I often save JPEGs for forums that have size limitations it would be nice to have back.

Yep, known bug

Simultaneous File Save in Jpeg and TDMS

Does anyone know if it is possible for me to log my Data Acquisition Data in TDMS file, while at the same time able to save my Front Panel Screen in Jpeg?
If this possible, I would appreciate any kind suggestion on how I can do this. I used DAQmx for my Data Acquisition Application, and I want to log data in TDMS format and also save my front panel in a jpeg or .png format.
Thanks in advance.

It is no problem to get the entire front panel (Use Open VI reference, FP Get Image method), only a bit redundant perhaps.
You need to have logic for when to save (perhaps not every iteration), and what file name to save to.
Here is a very basic prototype to get you started. Unfortunately the choice of file format for the built in save to image function is limited. If you wish you can use the Get Image method and send the result to Image to PNG for instance.
The data for your graph must come from somewhere? It is not the waveform graph in itself you should save to the TDMS file, it is the data that enters the graph.

Isplash and Colorize files save as JPEG but Iphoto won't import them in.

I bought both Isplash and Colorize apps to use the edited photos in an imovie video. The programs both import my iphoto files seamlessly for coloring but when I try and save them in Iphoto or import them into iphoto I get this error.
the file could not be imported (the file is in the iphoto library)
Help?!

the file could not be imported (the file is in the iphoto library)
iPhoto won't import files that are already in the working Library package. How did they get there?
I'm guessing that you did not use either of these apps as an external editor?
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Batch Process Export As and Save As JPEG Question?

What is the method for creating scaled JPEGs from PNG files with batch processing (File | Batch Process...)?
Application environment: Fireworks CS4.
Using History panel, I manually captured instructions
Modify | Transform | Numeric Transform (13%)
Modify | Canvas | Fit Canvas
File | Save As (JPEG)
History panel's saved JavaScript file script:
fw.getDocumentDOM().scaleSelection(0.11999999731779099, 0.11999999731779099, "autoTrimImages transformAttributes");
fw.getDocumentDOM().setDocumentCanvasSizeToDocumentExtents(true);
fw.saveDocumentAs(null, true);
Running this sequence as a batch job requires manually selecting JPEG and "okaying"
CS4 documentation for saveDocumentAs is defined with different argument list: fw.saveDocumentAs(document) . CS4 documentation also has: fw.exportDocumentAs(document, fileURL, exportOptions) to export JPEG (80% quality). CS4 feature File | Image Preview... | Export does not create a history record for guidance. I cannot find an example of either instruction save a file to a local folder in JPEG format. My objective is to add an additional batch step Rename (prefix) for the JPEG output, and script this a a batch process.

Joyce,
Thank you. Your suggestion helped clear my mental log jam.
Fireworks batch scripting seems to work in reverse.
Using "Batch Process..." scripting interface 'Export' (as JPEG) option first, 'Rename' (add Prefix) option second, and then follow these by using the history panel's 2 previously saved steps (Numeric Transform, Fit Canvas), batch process now works. PNG file (list) is saved in targeted folder as a reduced scale JPEG with a prefixed file name.
Batch Process allows the entire newly defined command sequence to be saved (script.js). Placing this (renamed) file into Firework's batch look-up directory for scripts (C:\Documents and Settings\account_name\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\Commands) does not work. The file name does not display in "Batch Process" window "Batch options:" Commands drop-down list.
Batch Process only works by recreating the above steps each use.
The new (JavaScript) file is 26 KB. Is script file size limited in Fireworks "Batch options:" feature?

Save as Jpeg

I have created a picture with about three or four layers, a PSD file now. It is a panoramic shot I added a layer to make stars. When I try to save the file from a PSD file to a Jpeg one of the layers disappears. I have tried to save it as a tiff and then to Jpeg but still it will not save without losing the layer. It is 8 bit RGB so it's not that. I also tried to flatten the layers but still it will not save right. Anything else I can try?
I have the background layer, a stars layer with a layer mask and a levels layer grouped and the a hue/saturation layer. This happened to me a long time ago but I can't remember if I ever fiqured out the problem.

What you say you want is normal operation: What you see while working in Photoshop is what you should get when you save as JPEG. Layers should NOT be going away.
If you're willing to share the PSD publicly, others can try to reproduce the problem... One way to share very large images is to sign up for a free YouSendIt.com account, send the PSD to yourself, then post the URL here. I know I'll be happy to take a look at it.
In the interim, what happens when you do this:
1. Layer - Flatten.
2. File - Save As - JPEG.
3. In the HISTORY panel, go back to the step just prior to Layer - Flatten.
This could possibly serve as a workaround.

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.

Image size change when save as jpeg

Hi
I have recently encountered an issue when I save file as jpeg in CS6. I prepared my image for printing and my image is a bit smaller than the print size (20" x 40") so I created a new file (8 bit) with new exact print size. Then I placed my image into this newly created layer and adjust my image size to fit. After this, I flatterned the image and went to file>save as and picked JPG extension. Dialogue box appeared and I selected 10 for quality (scale 1-12) then I hit ok to save. After that I went to open the newly saved JPG file and check the file size and for somereasons, It has been halved to around 10"x20". However, pixle dimension of the image remained unchange because I have unticked resample option. Does anyone have any ideas of why this is the case as It's doing my head in.
Thanks
Dean

This has been discussed ad nauseam here. Please do a forum search. < sigh >
Bottom line: If the pixel count remains the same, your image has not been "reduced or halved" at all. Just change the ppi resolution accordingly without resampling.
Save for Web defaults to 72 ppi regardless of what you had specified earlier,´.

I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
i am sure there is a simple way round this?
thanks guys!

Cs4 small jpeg file shows as large image size

Hi I am using Photoshop CS4 and I am trying to downsize images shot from my camera to less than 1 mb, by shifting the quality of the jpeg slider to the left in the save as menu.
Once I've done that when I open the newly reduced jpeg file again, and I go to the image Size, it shows as 25 Mb,
This started happening after I reinstalled the Cs4 Creative Suite to my computer.
What can I do, as when I tried to upload the images, ebay said they were too large, ie the file size of the image didnt get reduced at all.
Is it possible to fix this as I have reinstalled the software twice, and I still get the same problem,
thanks

Is it possible to fix this as I have reinstalled the software twice, and I still get the same problem
I think the problem is not at all Photoshop’s.
When you degrade an image by reducing the jpg quality the number of pixels does not change so the uncompressed image (as indicated for the opened file in Photoshop’s Image Size dialog) naturally has the old size.
What are ebay’s image requirements? Do they mention some maximum width/height in pixels?

CS5 Save as Jpeg gives colour shift - OK as PSD/Tiff

Hi Guys,
This is a follow on from the "lightroom /CS5 colour shift post" which I have now narrowed down to the following:
I use Win XP pro sp3 fully updated, Dell PC 4GB Ram, LR and CS5 both latest versions. Print through Qimage to epson 7880 - Workflow/ monitor all fully colour profiled. Workspace adobe 1998
Colour setting:
These settings have not changed in years.
My issue is that if I open a jpeg image in CS5 (colour is correct), save as psd or tiff (the colour is correct)
BUT if I save as jpeg (having done nothing to the file!) the colour on the saved file has shifted
I am not getting any profile mismatch warnings - this problem has only surfaced in the last few weeks.
Any ideas would be much appreciated
Thanks, Nigel

Hi again, Sorry had a busy weekend so I had
to disappear! Ok Firstly I cannot understand why a monitor profile could
be the culprit (just to rehash I develop a jpe
g in LR (colour is good, Print is good) Op
en in Cs5 colour looks same. If I save as PSD or Tiff Colour stays the same and prints same - Happy days!
But If I save as a jpeg (with or without a file number change the colour looks ok in CS. BUT when I close it & open it again in CS the colour has shifted. Also this shift is clearly visible in LR and QImage and in the print! It seems to me that the save as jpeg is the problem.
But just in case I reprofiled the monitor this morning (Eye1 display2) but problem is the same.
It has been suggested to me that the best thing to do is to reload CS5 might cure this. Any thoughts?
Also if i do that (I am on upgrades since v5 missing only CS4) Is there a way to skip loading all the versions?
Thanks Nigel

In CS5, saving a tiff, the jpg compression is greyed out, why? No layers. It's RGB, 8 bit file.

Jpeg File Save & Loss Rate in PSE

When working on jpeg files in the PSE Editor, does PSE perform an automatic internal file "Save" after each adjustment, (i.e., levels, color, etc.)? I have always assumed that the file does not get saved until the user performs a manual save after all editing has been completed.
If automatic internal "saves" are performed after each adjustment on a jpeg file. then image degradation could be accelerated beyond what one would expect, i.e., each Save of a jpeg file reduces image quality. If these automatic Saves are being performed, then I guess the only way to edit files is in a psd format, then save the final psd file to a jpeg format to conserve disk space.

No, the 'in memory' format is not saved to the drive unless you manually choose to 'save as'.
If you periodically save a jpeg version (overwriting the older ones), without closing the file, jpeg compression changes are not cumulative. The 'in memory' version is kept unchanged. It's not like you save to jpeg, close and re-open, in which case the jpeg double compression would have taken place.
If you want periodic saves in a long editing session of a picture, it's best to save as psd, because that saves layers, selections... It's also better if you work in 16 bits. If you save in jpeg, the jpeg compression will be done only once, there will be no cumulative loss of quality.

Is there a way to save an image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the file name?

I am trying to find a way to save my image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the existing file name. This way I can easily see which files are lower resolution for web posting or high resolution for printing.

Jason,
I helped somebody do a very similar thing about a week ago.
The trick is to use the Batch command's ability to construct a file name.
Tell the batch to append, e.g. "-x" without quotes, to the name of each saved file.
The batch runs an Action which does a save as JPEG, resize image, add logo, save as JPEG, then close document.
The output is "<document name>-x.jpg" and "<document name>-x-x.jpeg".
Then use Windows Explorer to rename "*-x-x.jpg" to "*-print.jpg".
Then rename "*-x.jpg" to "*-web.jpg".
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1038992?start=32
The name construction that I used there was just an "x" appended to the document name. Use whatever you like. Also juliew subsequently referred to the method as a "double-batch" run, although it is not. One run of the batch will output two JPEGs for each input document.
I hope the disagreements in that thread don't cause too much disruption.
If you want, the Batch command itself can be recorded in another Action which would store the parameters of the batch, then you could run that Action anytime without having to set up the details of the batch each time. It would always output to one specific folder, though.
