Exif tool and Export Jpeg and Tiff files

I run Lightroom 4.4 under Apple OS X10.4.4
When I export files Exif Tool (in Graphic Converter) under ICC header shows for Jpeg "Primary Platform = Microsoft and for = Tiff Apple; and under ICC Profile Color profile for Jpeg = HP but Adobe 1998 for Tiff. I can see that there is a difference between the profile for Jpeg and Tiff (eg sRgb and Adobe1998) but don't follow why the Primary platform differs and shows Microsoft for Jpeg and that the jpeg profile is HP. Can anyone explain, please, and dose it matter anyway? Thanks Clive

A overview of ICC profile tags is here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/ICC_Profile.html
Why the difference in the PrimaryPlatform tag, I don't know, it does not matter.
The ProfileCopyright tag is HP for sRGB, Kodak for ProPhotoRGB and Adobe for AbobeRGB (1998) of course.

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.

Tga and tiff files

Hi Can IMOVIE HD load TGA and Tiff files *** theres some cool effects animations u can get http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SPECIAL-EFFECTS-DVD-VOL-12-Movie-making-Video-editing_W0QQ itemZ220018246079QQihZ012QQcategoryZ51344QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Just wanted to know if they would work.

as said: iM does NOT allow out-of-the-box two layers simultanously/alpha-chanel/keying...
you can teach iM new tricks with plug-ins, have a look here, "Matte-tastic", part of Geethree Slick 4 package:
http://www.geethree.com/slick/galleries/d_v4.html :
Use the Configure button to select a file. The graphic file can be PICT, JPEG, GIF, animated GIF and Photoshop image. . Video formats supported are QuickTime video files. Transparent alpha channels are supported
because, these files are stored as tga/tff, you need probably additionally QTpro, to make from many stills, a socalled image sequence, a QT.mov you can use in iM...
and as said, with QTpro allone you can add as many layers as you want....
honorable forum member wrote a book about the many features of QTpro, have a look here http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/book
to give you a clue, visit the pre-alpha website of my SWFan project... click here ... I add some explosions (using Final Cut Expresss...),, you get for free here Detonation Films (slow)... a very short sequence is seen in Teaser II... (project still in progres...)

How can I change RAW and Tiff files to jpeg in Aperture 3

How can I change RAW & Tiff to jpeg in Aperture3

The purpose of Aperture is storing and managing image files including RAW and TIFF, generally users don't change the image format once it is in the library, there is no need.
If you want a jpeg version of an image for use elsewhere, you simply export it from Aperture, there are numerous ways of getting images out of APerture depending on what you plan to do with them, e.g. File>Export>Version gives you a lot of choices as to the format and quality of your exported file.

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

EPS and Tiff Files are not open...

Dear All,
If we open the EPS or Tiff file in Illustrator CS3, we got the error message as in the screenshot which named as “Illustrator screenshot.jpg”.
If we open the EPS or Tiff file in Photoshop CS3, we got the error message as in the screenshot which named as “Photoshop screenshot.jpg”.
We unable to open the file both in Illustrator and Photoshop. Is there any other option to open the file? Please advice.
I’ve attached the images and screenshots for your better reference.
Thanks in advance.
Kumaran. P

These files are completely corrupt. I got the same error messages you did in Illustrator and Photoshop.
The EPS files look quite hopeless. (They do not remotely resemble EPS files when viewed in a text editor.) The TIFF file opened in IrfanView. I've resaved it as a JPEG and attached it here. You can see that it's truncated.
You didn't mention how you obtained the files.

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.

Bridge Plugin: Make comments and see layers in PSD and TIFF files

I've been searching the interweb thin for Bridge plug-ins without luck.
I work in a production company and we have a quite intense QA process meaning that we compare images against each other and return feedback to editors.
So instead of cycling through applications it would make our life so much easier to just stay inside adobe bridge.
What I'm looking for is a plugin for Adobe Bridge with following attributes:
1. leave comments and notes on images
2. See layers in tiff and PSD files
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this request, but I figured that this was the best place to ask.
Ps. it is not important what version of Bridge it will be compatible with (but preferable cs6)
Best regards
Mick

Email keeps flattening the layers on my psd and tiff files

Hi,
My friend and I both have macs that run Leopard 10.5.6, and we both have Photoshop CS3. When she sends me a psd file through email, I can open it in photoshop, and see all the layers. When I create a psd file with multiple layers, I double check that it's saved properly by reopening it, and still see the layers. When I send it to her through email, she gets a flattened image with just the background layer. Same thing happens with tiff files. I don't think the problem is with the photoshop because the layers are all there and fine until I send it through email. Does anyone have any ideas on this one?
Soma104

Ah yes, I think the option changed from "Create Archive" in Tiger to "Compress" in Leopard.
I'm not sure why the original problem only manifested one-way for you. It may not even be your computer - there could be a process in your outgoing mail server, or your colleague's incoming server, which affects the attachment. I've seen corruption with binary files before when sent through email, and converting them into ZIP files did the trick.
Also, if you're regularly transferring large files, you might want to look into an alternative to email, such as a shared file server (eg an iDisk, or a third-party hosting site, using FTP) or a professional file transfer service such as YouSendIt, or even sending through IM.

Quicktime and tiff files

I use a windows 7 laptop. In the course of my week I view many tiff files. I have the default program for tiff set as windows photo viewer. Nonetheless, Quicktime always comes up. I wouldn't mind, but I cannot view all pages, and sometimes nothing shows. So each week I have to remove Quicktime in order to view my tiff files in Windows Photo Viewer. Very, very, frustrating. Any thoughts?

Excellent news, Bulent!
I hope Quicktime does not, later, try to take over again.
Good point ... next time you do a QuickTime update directly from the Website:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
... very near the end of the install, there should be a screen with a "Configure File/MIME types" button. Click the button, go to the MIME types, and make sure that that TIFF image entry is unchecked. That should avoid the problem in future.

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.

Issues exporting versions from tiff files

I upgraded to Aperture 3 [3.0.2] running on 10.6. Aperture works fine, except when trying to export a version of a tiff file [these are 8 bit 200mb scans]. Exporting a master from a tiff file works, exporting versions from RAW files work, but Aperture "hangs" when trying to export a version of a tiff file. I do have access to the tiff versions when using the media browser in other applications (Pages, iWeb etc.).
So far I tried all repair options [pressing cmd/ctrl while starting up] and i tried importing and than exporting a tiff file under Ap3, assuming something went wrong while updating from Ap2 to Ap3. Same results.
???

can you provide your export settings. I tried it and it works...but my tifs are not 200mb.

White Lines in exported JPEG or TIFFF files

When I export a photo from Aperture onto my desktop it appears with 1 or 2 white / colorless vertical lines running through it. This seems to happen with fscanned film and digital files. The lines do not appear in Aperture, just after export......Any fix it suggestions????

ACR and tiff file

I convert with a third party tool some images in tiff (linear gamma) and I want edit them in ACR.
Is better keep them in linear gamma or is better convert them to a gamma corrected color space before import them in ACR?
Internally ACR works always in linear gamma even with jpeg, right?
Marco

> my first edit in PS on linear image is tweak the exposure with a linear curve. Make the exposure slider in ACR the same thing?
These are vastly different.
1. The "exposure" adjustment in ACR increases the raw pixel intensities, like increasing the exposure would have done. This is a linear adjustment
b before the non-linear mapping.
Consequently, the linear adjustment becomes non-linear in the converted data.
Try it out: increase the exposure in ACR by one stop, then two stops, etc. and watch the displayed RGB values at the picker: very dark spots almost double, while bright spots increase only little.
2. The "linear adjustment" in PS works on the mapped data.
Try it out on several GREY spots: move the top right corner of the straight line in "curves" to the middle of the top edge (this corresponds to +1 EV). Make a selection on a dark spot and watch for the average under the histogram; turn the adjustment layer on and off. The RGB values got doubled. Now do this on a middle dark area: the same happens. Then pick an area close to but less than 128: you get close to 255. Try it with an area over 128, no matter how intense: you get 255.
