Editing tiff colours

Hi, I have heard that you can save edit jpg colours in illustrator if they are saved as tiffs first in photoshop. Does anyone know any good tips for this, or know any good tutorials?
I'm looking to use it as an alternative to using live trace, so as to get more accurate definition in my work,
I use windows xp, and illustrator cs2/3
Thanks!

By "editing colors" do you mean changing the color value, saturation, etc.? Why not do this in Photoshop, the program designed for such work?
If that's not what you mean, then I don't understand what you are after.

Yes! Finally fixed lag with editing tiff files

Thank you LR team. I had been having issues with significant lag when editing tiff files in LR 3 that seems to be gone in LR 4.
Specifically, I would edit my CR2 file and export to CS5 for cloning, filters and then save to get the tiff back into LR.
When I did simple things like sharpening, I would get the loading popup for a second but then had it show again when I zoomed in and with a significant stutter/lag.
Even worse was any cropping. I would start to drag one side, have the image almost freeze up - show a zoomed in section that was incorrect for the crop. I would let go and LR3 would catch up a second later. That would happen repeatedly and drove me crazy.
Happy to say those behaviors do not exist in my first photo edited in LR4.
You have me very tempted to start using it for my real stuff instead of just beta testing with duplicates.

(Aperture 3 and PSE 10; Lion; using Referenced files in Aperture)
I tried Barbara's recommended method and PSE now opens with the image displayed and accepts edits. However, when I save the adjusted image, what I get in Aperture is a TIFF file of that name but with no edits displayed.
When I go to the directory in which the referenced files are located, the adjusted file exists and I can view it.
So, (at least as I have things configured), when accessing PSE from Aperture I am able to make adjustments and save the adjusted file, but the adjusted file does not display in Aperture.
Is anyone having success with Barbara's method using referenced files?
I hope it is not necessary to do a separate import to get the adjusted file to display in Aperture - which would make PSE totally impractical for use.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Can't reconnect edited TIFF files back into library

There's a big problem I'm having.
After a vault restore, Aperture won't let me reconnect my edited tiff files. I open the "manage referenced files" dialogue and I navigate to the image, but I can't reconnect them. The "reconnect" buttons are greyed out. Here's a couple of pix of what's happening:
http://amrosario.com/Aperture001.jpg

Not to mention that with some images, Aperture is recorded the wrong file size (as seen in my second screenshot).
I need help desperately!

Thanks for all the words of help.
What is strange about this is this:
I'm working with NEF raw files from a D2X.
Before my hard drive issue, I did some editing of the raw files in Aperture. Then, I had Aperture send the tweaked file to Photoshop for more editing. Aperture sent over a 16bit tiff file. The file was about 70 megs in size (a 12.4 megapixel file @16 bits). Fine.
So, I did some editing and resizing in Photoshop and ended up with a layered TIFF file which was about 300 megs in size. Fine.
I saved it and went back to Aperture. Aperture took a minute or two to update the thumbnail. Fine - it's a big file. So far, everything was working as it should.
Back in Aperture, the edited TIFF was (automatically) stacked with the raw NEF file. Fine.
Then... HARD DRIVE ISSUE (actually, a raid failure, but that's another story).
After many hours or rebuilding and restoring from a saved vault, I get this issue where Aperture cannot find the stacked, edited tiffs. Ok, fine, so....
I go to the "manage referenced files" command and navigate to the tiff files stored on my hard drive and bingo....
No go...
But the strange thing is (and you can see it in my second screenshot above) that aperture is looking for a 70meg image where the edited image is actually much larger. If you look at this screenshot ( http://amrosario.com/Aperture002.jpg ) you can see that Aperture is looking for a 70.1mb file at 2852x4296 pixels. This is what Aperture originally sent over to Photoshop for me to edit. The actual edited file was saved (and cataloged by Aperture before my HARD DRIVE ISSUE) as a 236.8mb file at 3419x5150 pixels (this was the edited version.
After my hard drive issue and restore from vault, Aperture "forgot" that I had edited the image and enlarged it. It is looking for the 16bit TIFF that it originally sent to Photoshop when I first started to edit the image.
This is the big problem and, I think, bug in Aperture.
I have since reimported the TIFF files and will re-stack them with the original NEFs. But this is a lot of work.
I'm wondering if someone from the Aperture team can help figure this out.
I hope that I've made the problem clearer. This is hard to do with words.
Thanks for everyone's input.

Does the iPhoto app export edited TIFFs in their original format and resolution?

I'm interested to know whether the iPhoto app allows editing of TIFF files and then an option to export that edited TIFF file at its original resolution. If not, what app allows this kind of photo processing?
Thanks!

So far as dragging the file "out of" the Lightroom content area I think you'll find that it works the same way as Bridge (i.e. the sidecar does not travel with the original file). In the Bridge you need to use the Move To or Copy feature if you want the XMP sidecar to travel.
So... In Lightroom, how is it properly done then?
I shoot RAW only, and I have found occasion where I would like to collect a copy of the RAW files to give to someone else for editing. While I might be able to use the Windows Explorer, what am I supposed to do if the images reside in different directories? I can't export them because Lightroom doesn't let me export a RAW copy (in other words, I can't export a CR2 file and end up with a CR2 file outside of Lightroom), and I can't drag and drop them because 1: this doesn't work on Windows, and 2: the sidecars don't copy with the RAW files.
Thanks for the tips and info.

External edit (TIFF) and metadata

For some weeks (I guess since I'm using Max OS X Lion or since I'm using LR 3.6) I got a problem with all external edited photos after the external changes are imported into Lightroom.
If I make any changes on metadata (or editing the photo in develop module) after I've edited a photo in an external editor (in this case it is Nik Silver Efex Pro 2) Lightroom can't write metadata anymore.
The original files are DNGs created from Leica M9 DNGs (uncompressed) by Lightroom 3.6 on import and I use TIFF-copies for external editing in SEP2.
To be completely clear, here's my workflow:
import as DNG
basic edits in LR develop module
right-click > edit in > SEP2
use copy with LR-changes: TIFF, 240dpi, ProPhoto RGB, ZIP-compession
convert to black and white in SEP2
save and go back to LR
change metadata or sometimes make some further adjustments in LR develop module
>>> warning sign on photo (grid view)!
If I then re-import the metadata from the file all changes in Lightroom after the external editing are gone. Saving the metadata again doesn't work and changes nothing.
Does anybody know if that's a bug (in LR, Lion or SEP2) or if I can do anything to prevent that problem in future?

Sorry I should have been clear - I am referring to IPTC metadata.

How to edit background colour of Revolution theme

Would like to change the background colour of this theme. At moment it seems to offer only a dark one. In Inspector, images can be inserted under the background tab but no alternaives available for changing the colour of the area where the title appears. Any thoughts?

GTX 470 or 570 for editing TIFF sequences with Mercury

Hello! II am making a short film with Cinema 4D and I'm thinking of getting either a GTX 470 or 570, does anyone know if using the mercury engine will actually improve editing speed with uncompressed 1080p TIFF sequences? All the prerendering slows down the editing process I'm on a i7-950 with 12 gb DDR3 and a ATI 5770 currently, my OS drive is also an SSD if that matters. My editing drives are just regular drives though, no RAID either. thanks!

I have a GTX 480 (with MPE hack) and a i7 980x, 24GB ram and a 3-disk Raid 0. I've never been able to get a TIFF sequence to playback in real time. The best I get is probably a choppy 4 frames per second. I know this doesn't answer your question entirely, but maybe it can help a tad.
I myself I'm trying to get find a way to playback TIFF sequences. I'm going to be setting up a 4-disk Raid 0 on an eSata raid box, but I'm thinking at some point it's just getting bottled necked at my port connection. Not sure. Others can probably shed more light on the Raids.
The best way I've been able to adapt so far is to create annoying proxy sequences (hence my repeat posts about Premiere needing proxy capabilities). I drop my TIFF sequence in a new sequence. Render it out in low rez. Drop that new low rez version onto the same sequence so now it has two--one HD 1080 and SD 720 (ok, so it's not really SD). I turn on the SD version and the other one off. I make my cuts and edits on my sequences and then when everythings all nice and purdy, I flip the switch back on the HD version and I'm ready for final rendering.
I have my "SD" version set at 720 so it's obviously smaller than the other clips so I don't inadvertantly leave it on for the final render.
Not a great workflow and adds some steps, but that's been my best workflow so far.

Collections New Edit TIFF should be placed along side Parent in Collection

At present if you are working on images in a collection and you decide to edit one of the images in PS the new tiff is automatically assigned tot he collection and given the same rating, metadata this is all good.
Only problem is that the new tiff is now located at the end of the collection instead of next to the parent raw image. So you have go through a laborious process to move the tiff to along side the parent raw.

Thanks John,
Yes that would work except my collections often include photos from different cameras and so a sort by name doesn't really work with my naming structure.
Oh well, maybe something in the next version.

Edit .tiff images with IE

Totally new to this.
I was using the trial PSE8.
I frequently work with images from the Library of Congress (LOC), specifically .tiff images.
I'd open the image, click FILE and was able to then click on EDIT WITH PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 8.
It worked beautifully and I was ready to purchase PSE8 as a result.
Then version 9 was available so I thought I'd try it out before deciding which version to purchase.
Downloaded 9 today and went to grab some LOC images and when I click on FILE once the .tiff image opens, the EDIT WITH(...) is gone and the EDIT is not accessible.
Being a complete novice, I am unsure how to integrate (or whatever) PSE9 with IE so that I can once again edit these .tiff images with a click of the mouse.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks very much.

I should have said that the LOC's .tiff images open with Quick Time.
Right clicking on the image when it opens only offer option for settings, speed, language.
I have found a solution, though:
I opened a LOC image using Firefox and was able to save it and then open it using PSE9.
Thanks again for being helpful

Editing TIFF file with an adjustment brush vs. Photoshop Layer

I have some TIFF files I need to do some adjustments on. Mostly darkening the sky. Where the sky meets the foreground it is made up of tops of Spruce Trees.
My question is, can/should I use the adjustment brush in Lightroom to do this, or should I make a layer in Photoshop to do this?
I have found that when using the adjustment brush over the tops of Spruce trees, it is best to just paint over the whole thing, or else it will look artificial. Not sure if doing this in Photoshop would make my life easier? Any comments? Thanks.
Scott

A couple of comments: either a graduated filter or a brush-painted adjustment which paints across (for example) the horizon / tree / silhouette line of (say) a bright sky, will naturally (or, better to say, unnaturally) affect the overlapped parts too, IF you use the "Exposure" slider to do this. In that case one would need to be reasonably precise and finicky about the masking, which IMO goes a little against the intention of these tools within LR..
However, if you use the new LR4 "Highlights" slider instead, the result is much less artificial-looking IMO - even if you have painted (or graduated) quite loosely to include some areas of darker buildings, trees, mountains etc. This is because rather than affecting the whole tone scale, only bright regions of the picture are affected by "Highlights". Conversely, only dark areas of the picture are affected by the "Shadows" adjustment, when you use that.
So in that context, one would only need to erase back out of the painted mask, any areas where this adjustment was noticeably unwanted - which is often, a better way to proceed than attempting to paint your adjustment postively up to a boundary. The effect of a smoothly graduated adjustment can be achieved by using a very large, very soft-feathered brush in the first place, rather than the Grad tool - with the advantage that unlike the grad tool, a smaller harder brush can then be used in Erase mode to cut out areas as required. Depending on the nature of the adjustment, this too can be done fairly loosely - or, with Auto mask turned on.
Auto mask can be a little blocky and harsh in the way it treats an edge, but this tends not to matter when you are erasing out, so much as when you are painting in.

Editing TIFF files from camera and saving as JPG

I have searched extensively for this and feel like it must be answered somewhere but haven't found it. Call me an idiot.
I have a camera that can save a picture as a tiff and jpg files simultaneously.
When I open the tiff file in PE2 it is strange. It something like a negative and strange colors. In addition, it seems to have a small portion from the right side that has moved to the left side of the picture.
Does this mean there is something wrong with the tiff files?
I have tried opening it and saving as jpg. Then opening the jpg just shows the same strange image.
Do I need a newer version of PE?
Thanks

Well I found something finally on the internet. Apparently it is a problem with the 2GB SD card in my Panasonic FZ20 properly storing the file. I will have to look into it more. The card is an Ultra II San Disk. The sorry part is that the accompanying jpg is much smaller than if I taken the picture as jpg to start with.

Edit Predefined Colour Palettes

I've created one predefined palette by editing a defaultConfig.xml file (there are several). However, the format of the xml doesn't appear to allow set up of further predefined palettes. Although from the Webi front end, I can see that there are a total of 10 predefined palettes. Does anyone know where they can be configured?
Another option is "Customized document palettes", but this is sub-optimal as they only persist in the current document.

Hi,
In XI 3.1 we could work around that by changing the XML files so default a different color was used. In SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 the chart engine has been changed, now there is one chart engine for WebIntelligence, Analysis and Crystal Reports. So if you need a house-style for your reports, follow the next steps.
1. Your administrator needs to go to the following directory on the server side C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\images
2. Find the file there named as VisualizationConfig.template.xml
3. Rename this file to VisualizationConfig.xml
4. Then edit this file and add the color for the palette as you required (RGB colors are used)
5. Check there are no errors in the config file, otherwise the standard palette is applied – you can define only one Corporate palette, and the palette ID must not be changed
6. Finally, you need to reboot Tomcat after editing the config file.

Editing background colour of video

I'm thinking of buying Adobe pro to edit videos. If I film against a white background, can I make it ultra bright like on the Apple ads? I know how to do it using lighting but was wondering if there's a short cut. Anybody know? Cheers.

Yes, you can do this in Premiere Pro. You would still have to light it somewhat correctly to make the background brighter than the foreground, but within Premiere there are controls to make bright parts even brighter so you can make a semi-bright wall completely white. It would take some experimenting to get it just right, but you could do it with just Premiere.

Editing metadata in a TIFF image

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to edit TIFF image metadata using ImageIO v1.1 APIs, but something goes wrong...
For a TIFFImageWriter I get the following results:
writer.canInsertEmpty = true
writer.canInsertImage = true
writer.canRemoveImage = false
writer.canReplaceImageMetadata = false
writer.canReplacePixels = true
writer.canReplaceStreamMetadata = false
writer.canWriteEmpty = true
writer.canWriteRasters = false
writer.canWriteSequence = trueSo editing metadata with writer.replaceImageMetadata is not possible (I verified this, an exception is thrown). I thought I could remove an entire image and reinsert it with new metadata, but as you can see writer.removeImage is unavailable, too.
How can I edit a TIFF image without rewriting it to a totally new image file?
Any help will be appreciated,
Giuseppe

Huh... I am in bitmap... OK, how would I go about changing to RGB? Not a complete novice, but never had a similar problem before.
