Filing tif photos

I am trying to create some Tif files from my RAW images, ready to use them in Lightroom as understand that I will need to have them in Tif for me to have my edited versions available in LR.
Ideally I would like to have my Tif and Raw files next to each other.
When exporting the file and converting to TIF, I don't sen eagle to put the Tif file back in my Aperture Library. is there a way for me to do that?
Assuming not then where and how is it best for me to file them, whilst still using Aperture?

You are wasting time and storage space.  You can create TIFF (or other format) files from your Images at any time.  There is no advantage I can think of of — versus many significant disadvantages — to creating TIFF files from your Images now and importing them into your Library.
Lightroom and Aperture are, for nearly all users, mutually exclusive.  If you want to explore Lightroom, either use new digicam files, or create new image-format files from your Images by exporting the Versions and import those newly-created files into Lightroom.  It is only when you decide to stop using Aperture that you should go through a process of creating image-format files from your Images and matching them up to your Originals in a file management program.  Aperture is not likely to be the recommended tool to do the file-management task of matching the newly-created-by-export files and your Originals.

Don't create them until you need them.  (Why are you creating new files?)  Store them according to your needs.  (How are you going to use them?)

  • How do I transferr scanned in tif photos in iphoto to jpg format?

    MacBook Pro - I scanned in photos and they entered into the computer in tif file. I tried several different ways to convert them to jpg. I finally read that if I transferred them into iPhoto they would automatically go into jpg form. I went to use them for the website I am making and they still can't be transferred so I am assuming that they are still in tif format. Please help....I have been trying way to long now!!!

    Try opening them with Preview. Then do "Save as..."
    The dialog box I get when I do that have jpeg as an choice under the "Format" option:

  • Syncing and filing of photos: chronological / alphabetical

    I don't mind the photos in "Camera Roll" syncing and archiving in chronological order but I would like the photos that I have sitting in sep. folders on the computer and that I sync to the phone to sync and archive alphabetically.
    Is there a way of doing this?
    Thanks
    T

    ok, so it only goes by date?
    i have a bunch of product photos that I update, but instead of keeping the photos in order (as in A1, A2, A3, B1, B2,...etc.) it will put the last photo added to the folder at the end (so you may end up with A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, A4)...
    Would be nice for the folder to sync as per last sync on the computer...

  • Nik Software .tif not saved along side of original photo in LR5

    I will try to be brief.  I use LR 5 and the NIK software collection as a plug-in.  Ever since I've been using NIK, the .tif photo is saved right along side with the original photo.  However, recently LR 5 crashed on me a couple of times and I noticed one of my major keywords was missing from the keyword list.  I did what the LR tech support folks recommended and that was to go back to a backed up catalog that had the major keyword in it and use the backeup up catalog.  I copied my last saved LR Catalog from the end of November 2013.  Since then I took photos on 16, 17, 18, and 19th of December 2013.  So, when I used the last none good catalog of Nov 2013 these four sets of photos from December did not show up.  So, I used the import function in LR5 with "Add" and found the photos on my hard disk.  LR5 added them to the catalog.  Great.  Prior to all this, when I used NIK software, the .tif file was saved right next to the original photo.  That does not happen to any of the photos in these for folders from December.  The NIK .tif photo is saved next to the oringal for any photo previously shot prior to Decembers photos. Any photo I shot on 16-19 Dec after I added them back to the catalog, the .tif is saved at the end of the add sequence and not along side with the original.  I'm guessing it has something to do with adding these back to the catalog.  I have not taken any new photos since 19 Dec 2013 and used my CF reader to have LR "Copy" them to my photo location on the hard drive so I have not tested out what happens going forward.  Adobe support recommended I remove these four sets of photos from my LR catalog and import them back into the catalog with the "Add" feature.  I wanted to see if anyone out there has any suggestions on what is happening and how to fix it before I try the Adobe suggestion.  Like I said, it only happens on these four folders of photos that I added back to the catalog after using one of my last good backed up catalog to recover from the crash.  Thanks for anyone that can help.

    Currently, my Sort Order is "Added Order".  The photos in LR5 grid view show in the order I took the photo which is what I want.  If I uncheck the "Stack with Original" box in the External Editing Tab in LR5 Preferences and edit a photo with one of the NIK products,the .tif photo goes to the end of the sequence and not put next to the original photo.  With the "Stack with Original" box checked and I go to edit in one of the NIK products, it moves the original photo in the grid view to the last in the sequence and adds the .tif photo next to it.  I never had this issue until LR5 crashed on me.

  • PSE4 - No thumbnails for .TIF files (Fuzzy TIF problem?)

    My PSE4 newly installed on my Win XP. But, I just catalogued the first 100 of my black-and-white photos into the PSE Organizer. These were all a standard format of 4x6" at 300 dpi gray scale files. But, while the .jpg files show thumbnails in the Organizer, the .tif thumbnails show up as black rectangles. Still these .tifs can be viewed in the PSE editor, and when I resave them as a .psd file, a thumbnail shows up in the Organizer for the .psd. (Oh, an attempt to resave the original file in PSE as .tif didn't help).
    Post script -- I just tried to catalogue a few of my more recent 4x6" gray scale .tif files as I described above. I noted that the thumbnails for the .tif files showed up in PSE Organizer for just a second or two, and then promptly changed to black rectangles. Interesting
    But I have hundreds of such .tif photos still to be catalogued: (1) Am I going to have to resave each file as .psd, and (2) is there any downside to .psd as long as I'm using Adobe software? I just noted that my online photo processor (Fuji) doesn't accept .psd files.
    I saw in the forum about PSE4 encountering the "fuzzy .tiff" problem but couldn't find a full explanation anywhere. I had the impression that not all .tiffs are created equal! I think most of mine were created by Adobe Photoshop 7 that I once had access to. I'm really worried that PSE4 is not going to work out for me.

    I don't use Windows, so I don't know if you'll find anything helpful, but I'm sure you'll at least get some comfort from knowing you're not the only person experiencing a problem with TIFF files in PSE 4.0. :(

  • Lines printing in edited photos on 3 HP printers

    We have three HP printers - one F4280 all-in-one and one 990cse connected to the same Vista computer and one 990cse connected to an XP. They are all printing horizontal lines in portrait view edited photos and vertical lines in landscape view. The lines are distinct about 1/16th of an inch wide and spaced about 1/16th of an inch apart and down the entire photo. This happens whether I have scanned the photo or gotten it from some other source. It is happening no matter what editing program I use - even if I only crop it using Windows Photo Gallery.
    I recently purchased a new photo editing program in hopes of correcting the problem, but I still have the same problem. I start with a fresh photo (one that I have never edited) and, after I edit it, there are never any lines visible on the screen but the printed page has the lines on it - like dark burgandy across a black dress - and light rose across lighter areas, but always distinct even lines. I like to edit photos and have been editing photos for years. I quit for a while and came back to it recently and have been having this problem. I would so much appreciate help.
       Addendum: One thing that worked for me just yesterday - I printed two 5x7 .tif photos on one page from the Windows Photo Gallery, and they didn't have the lines. I used HP premium plus photo paper glossy and set the printout for regular premium paper. When I had set it for premium photo paper, the lines printed. I tried this because when I printed that one on regular premium paper, I didn't get the lines. So, this morning I tried printing the same photo with premium plus photo paper and set for regular premium paper and that printed without lines also !! The picture is better on the photo paper even though the print setting was not for the photo paper. (I had scanned the photo from a full page 8.5x11 copy of the photo.) I am hopeful, but a little skeptical as to whether this will always work. Has another solution been found? Thank you.

    This only works for me with Windows Photo Gallery. When I try to print a Word Perfect document with an inserted picture or an Adobe Acrobat document that has a picture, the lines are there. I can create the WP document and save it, then save it as a .pdf document, then save the .pdf document as a .tif photo, then print the .tif photo from the Windows Photo Gallery. These are the step that I used to print:
    right click on the photo,
    select Preview (and it should open in the Windows Photo Gallery) or select "Open With" and select Windows Photo Gallery,
    select Print (and a print menu will show across the top),
    from the menu:
    select your printer,
    select Paper size (I have only tried Letter size for this),
    select Quality (mine is working at 300x300 dots per inch),
    select Paper type as hp premium paper (not photo paper),
    (I deselect the "Fit picture to frame," a personal preference)
    insert photo paper in printer and print.
       I had received a copy of my grandmother's picture (only one in existence as far as I know) and I so wanted to get a good printout after editing out some tears and I was able to get a good full page photo print by using this method. Maybe this will help someone else.
       I hope that someone can come up with a solution where pictures can be printed from any program. I would like to know if there is a solution. With three HP printers on hand, I don't want to start replacing printers.

  • Photos on PDF file print in NEGATIVE

    Twice in the past 2 weeks, creating PDF files from 2 different (Quark) documents, ALL THE (TIF) PHOTOS WERE PRINTING IN REVERSE (NEGATIVE)... On MY printer they were printing OK, but when sent to a 3rd party -- they keep printing reversed... Only the photos, not the whole page...
    I use a script creating a PS file that converts to PDF via Distiller 7.0.
    One incident was a full page ad, using Distiller's PDFX1a2001(1) (or maybe it was PDF/X-1a:2001, don't remember, is there a difference?)... The ad was published in the newspaper with all the photos in negative..... The pre-press guy at the newspaper couldn't figure it out...
    The other was a newsletter, converted via Distiller's "Smallest File Size" --- the client called me this morning telling me all the photos show up reversed....
    ...This strange behavior is intermittent, it happened 2 weeks ago, and then today again, but none in-between and it never happened before.
    I Google this issue, and noticed this has been mentioned in some forums in the past (even 2003), but no answers showing...
    ...Any idea would be greatly appreciated....

  • Transfer iPhoto Events to Photo

    I have been asked by the Apple Applications App to upgrade from Yosemite 10.10.2 to 10.10.3. This update will install the new Photos App. I am concerned that I will loose my current system of filing my photos which is based upon filing all my photos into Events with a few Albums. When I go ahead and download Photos, will all of my Events remain as Events? Or, should I change all of my Events into Albums first?

  • Importing photos without a file extension name?

    I am running Mac Tiger w/ 1.5gig ram. I am using 1.3.1 V Lightroom. I am trying to import 4000 or so .tif photos that I scanned about 8 years ago and did not save the file name as .tif. I am guessing that is why light room will not recognize them and tells me no photos are found when I navigate to the folder. I am hopping someone can tell me how to make this work without having to re-name or add .tif to all of these scans manually? If I can not do this through Lightroom, is there any way in Photoshop to add the .tif file extension automatically?
    Thanks,
    Cathy

    Why not just rename them all? It would only take a second.
    Oh...I don't know how to do it on a Mac, but it's cake on a PC so I assume it is on Mac as well.

  • Help! Not able to Print TIF files

    I recently pasted 4 photos into a 19x13 canvass. The file was originally a 1.2 GB file, which would not print, so I then reduced the size to approximately 700MB. I go to FILE then select PRINT and nothing happens. Is there a setting I messed up somewhere?
    I am using CS5 Version 12.0.1 64 bit. I have no issue printing any other TIF photos.
    One thing I noticed is that I can not save this particular TIF, (thinking that maybe a JPEG would work),  in any other format except Photoshop/Large Document Format/open EXR/Portable Bit Map/Radiance/TIF, no other options. It was be something terribly simple that I am just baffled with. I am really puzzled and frustrated as I really want to print this new file ASAP.
    Any suggestions and/or help would be greatly appreciated.

    The Adobe Color Engine can't take a 32 bit file as input and spit out a 16 or 8 bit file?  That's a surprise.

  • Transfer photos from camera to iMAC without using iPhoto or Aperture

    Hi
    I have been having all sorts of problems with iPhoto which seems to have collapsed on account of me having too many photos (250GB). I have been recommended to download Aperture which holds a higher capacity of photos, which I have done. I transferred my iPhoto photos to Aperture and Aperture promptly collapsed...! So, I am now sorting out my photos on an external hard drive and will then re-import them into new Aperture libraries for each year I think so that they do not get jammed up.
    I am stuck however, as I am now trying to download photos from my camera onto the iMac without using either iPhoto or Aperture and I cant seem to find a way to do it. I have connected the camera and looked in Finder and Preview but cant see the device there to retrieve the photos from it.
    Anyone got any tips?
    Also if you have tips on what to do if you have too many photos that would be greatly appreciated too.
    Thanks

    Well, when I migrated my photos from my MacBook Pro to my IMac in January 2011 some of the last set of photos I had taken did corrupt and I only realised a few months later when I went to make a photo book and got a black picture with an exclamation mark as the originals could not be found.
    In my current reorganisation, I have copied the masters file from my macbook pro onto the external hard drive and the masters file from January 2011 onwards from my iMac onto the external drive also and filed all photos. I intend to reimport them from there, thus avoiding the corrupted ones.
    The iphoto version is 9.4.3 and the aperture is 3.4.5
    I now cannot open either iPhoto or the first library I transferred iPhoto photos to on Aperture. I just get the rainbow ball and it says 'not responding' so I have to force quit the applications. I send crash reports each time to Apple. I have iMac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5
    Hoping the new library I have built will work. Do you think I can import the whole lot into a new Aperture library rather than break them down into years?
    Thanks for your help Terrence

    Hi,
    did you show the id-value in the user interface as a input-component, and did the input-component include a converter?
    If yes, show the id as output-text and remove any existing converter-components.

  • Camera raw update without using iPhoto or Aperture

    I use Adobe LightRoom 4.4 for my photo editing and therefore I do not need Aperture or iPhoto.
    However, I would also like to see the RAW thumbnails in my Finder windows from my Canon G15.
    Is there a way to update the Digital Camera Raw without having to install (purchase) either of the Apple Applications?
    I'm currrently running Lion but am happy to upgrade to Mountain Lion if necessary.

  • Small Network Server Options - Advice?

    I have a small group of macs ranging from first-gen Powermac G4s to relatively new imac G5s that I would like to set up on a legitimate network. Currently I have them connected on a networked Lacie external-HD - Which works for the most part, but I worry that it isn't very stable. As I was looking into my options for servers it occurred to me that I have no idea what to look for, or more importantly, if a server is really what I need.
    If anyone reading this happens to have a few extra minutes I would really appreciate your input.
    All of our computers are running on OS x 10.4 or later. The computers are used for a Yearbook program, so we have to have a central storage location for all of our photos and spreads so that they may be accessed from any terminal. Adobe InDesign and Photoshop are the primary applications.

    Each year we need storage for 300-500 InDesign spreads as well as well over 5000 hi-res .tif photos, out current shared drive holds around 340 gigs of files, so a TB drive is probably necessary (that's what we're running on right now).
    The only real problem our network is having right now occurs when our computers go to sleep. They apparently lose their connection with the external drive, and then crash InDesign when the computer is woken, meaning we have to recover the files every time.
    Similar problems with inactive connections seem to be pretty common with our current set up, would an xserve avoid these sorts of issues?

    The settings in the used profiles are "don't change color photos / grayscale
