G4 Compression for TIFF file

I am looking for a plug in to allow Photoshop to save TIFF files using G4 Compression on a Windows PC. We have CS3, CS4 and CS5.
The TIFF files start as color and than we knock all the background out and it leaves just solid black and white in the image. We have an aftermarket product to convert the TIFF images to G4 compressed TIFF images but I would much rather convert them in Photoshop because we can integrate the process into our scripting. As we run this on ~100,000 files a month any little speed helps us a lot.
Thank you, -Dan

Compression a tiff file from 25 MB to 2-3 MB by lwz

I need help. I am trying to compress a tiff file (CMYK) using lwz format.
The size of the file is 25 MB. Photoshop (CS5) compressed it to a 19 MB-file.
I need to compress the file to at leats 2-3 MB size. Any one how to do it?

Bypassing the portion of the file is not a option in my case since a part
of the program reads the bytes and performs operation on the image when it
reads 8bim.
The image if re-saved in Photoshop gets the required metadata. (Can be seen
by using imagemagik's identify utility)
Only option that I have is to write the information for the resource in
side the Image resource block tag.
How am I suppose to write this resources when I am using BitmapMetadata
class?

Extension for tiff files - tif vs tiff

I have encountered some (for me) confusing behavior. I have been working with both aperature and photoshop cs4. When I take a file from aperture to cs4, aperture creates a file with the extension.tiff. when I then save the file after working on it in photoshop it saves with the extension .tif. that is to say, Aperture uses 2 'f's and photoshop uses 1 'f' which results in two files. Is this related to option choice in the Tiff save panel or something anomalous with aperture.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have played with this a little more and this is what I found. The file created by aperture has the tiff extension. If photoshop is set up to open all tiff files using camera raw, then when editing is complete and the file is saved it will be saved using the save as dialog even if save is selected, and the tiff file saves with a single f by default. The second f can be added in the save dialog box in which case it asks if you want to save the file that already exists. Save over the original tiff file and the edits will be visible in aperture.
On the other hand if camera raw only opens tiff files with adjustments, the the save command saves directly in which case the two f extension is maintained.
Apparently use of camera raw causes the save as dialog box to come up the first time the file is saved. Thus one can either add the second f in the dialog or forgo the use of camera raw for tiff files being brought in from aperture.

Jpeg compression for tiff image (nt gettin a view of jpeg compressd pages)

Hi All,
I have a problem of jpeg compression inside a tiff file. When I convert no. of pages in a multi-page tiff file I m not getting a view of jpeg compressed pages. I convert black and white as well as gray scale jpeg images inside the tiff file. I used Compression Group4 for black and white image and JPEG compression for gray scale image. Also set the dpi of each page. But most of the viewer doesnt support my jpeg compressed pages. When I set the quality of jpeg images to 0.1f that time I m getting a view of particular images for some image viewer.
My requirement is to show the jpeg compressed image inside the IMAGING PREVIEW 2.5 VERSION. But it doesnt support for my output tiff. As well as cant get properties of that page inside the Fax viewer except Resolution 200x200 dpi.
     If anybody has any idea to compressed jpeg image inside the tiff file, please tell me how I can compress the gray scale image using jpeg compression.
Thank you in advance

Hi Maxideon,
Thank u 4 ur immediate reply. But my requirement is, to show d tiff file only in IMAGING PREVIEW 2.5 VERSION. I tried lots but didnt manage to get a view of JPEG compressed page. I think somewhere I m doin wrong. Somewhere I wrote wrong code, cause d properties of jpeg compressd images also not getting in Fax Viewer except DPI. I change the BaselineTIFF Tags of JPEG compressed image, but cant manage output yet. I think d problem create at d time of metadata writing. My problem is tht, tiff created using sum other soft. is suppported by IMAGING PREVIEW 2.5 VERSION, y nt mine?
Here is my code for BaselineTIFFTagSet:
if(isBinaryImage) {
             // resolution unit
             rootTiffIFD.addTIFFField(new TIFFField(base.getTag(296), 2));
             // bit per sample
             rootTiffIFD.addTIFFField(new TIFFField(base.getTag(258), 1));
             // compression
             rootTiffIFD.addTIFFField(new TIFFField(base.getTag(259), 4));
             // rows per strip
             rootTiffIFD.addTIFFField(new TIFFField(base.getTag(278), bImageImage.getHeight()));
        } else {
             rootTiffIFD.addTIFFField(new TIFFField(base.getTag(296), 2));
             rootTiffIFD.addTIFFField(new TIFFField(base.getTag(258), 8));
             rootTiffIFD.addTIFFField(new TIFFField(base.getTag(259), 7));
             // thresholding
             rootTiffIFD.addTIFFField(new TIFFField(base.getTag(263), 3));
             rootTiffIFD.addTIFFField(new TIFFField(base.getTag(278), bImageImage.getHeight()));
        }     If u have any idea 4 write a metadata of jpeg page wid jpeg compression, can u plz suggest me hw to write a metadata 4 jpeg image? Which Baseline Tags r needed to set d jpeg compression?
Thank you

Best compression for MOTION file with lots of graphics

Hi,
Does anyone know the best setting to compress Motion's file into mpeg2 for dvdsp4? I had setted mine to 7.5 constant bit rate, & the frame control as best with IP 6GOP but I still see lots of pixal break when viewing in dvdsp.
any suggestion?
thanks,
JP

Hey JPNG
the answer to you encoding from either sonic's encoder or srpuce's MPX3000 is an undoubted YES YES YES
if you have these hardware encoders available to you, by all means DO IT/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
i actually use Spruce's encoder all the time, have it networked with my mac and encode a lot of content this way.
as far as compatibilty issues, they are NON-EXISTENT/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
oh man, you said the magic word, you just opened up the true power of DVDSP without having to worry about encoding in the background/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
good luck

How to use lz4 compression for RAW file inside DNG ?

I know DNG supports zip compression. However, I want to use lz4 compression, as I am saving the file in realtime, and I cannot see any zip library matching the performance of lz4 for 16-bit RAW.
In my case this is 12-bit data with 4 bits set to zero.

Is there a study that compared the encoding speeds of the 3 algorithms available for RAW files ?
LZW, Packbits, Deflate.
I think Lossless JPEG can also work with 1 plane setting.
Also, looking at the dng_validate code, and the calls to relevant libraries, I see that the code seems to deal only with byte boundaries.
Are any of these algorithms optimized for 10,12,14-bit RAW data ?
I am trying to encode 203 MBps of data. Intel IPP would be an option, but its obviously nicer if DNG SDK can provide whats needed for free with some tweaking.

Does Pages always compress(jpeg) tiff files in docs exported to PDF?

Title say it all really.
I would like to export a Pages 09 document, which contains high-res tiff images, to a PDF. I do not want the images to have any compression applied. Is this possible?

Yes, it is. Pdf if is a kind of image format but not in the way that jpeg, gif or tiffs are. here is what Wikipedia says about it.
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to represent documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.[2] Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it.
For what purpose do you want your Pages document to be exported to PDF?

More compression for ZIP files

I'm trying to compress video files into Zip's to save space, but they aren't much smaller after archiving. Does anyone know of a way to adjust archiving so they're more compressed and produce smaller files? I'm not finding anything under System Preferences.

As Allan Eckert states, video (as well as pictures and music) files are already compressed, so ZIP will not be able to shrink them much smaller, if at all.
It is possible to re-encode a video using a different codec that might be more efficient, or you can reduce the quality of the video (fewer frames per second, smaller screen size, etc...). But other than that, generic compression utilities such as ZIP are not going to be effective on video files.

Batch merging two TIFF files into one

I have a lot of portrait B5-size TIFF files that were scanned from paper documents and I plan to scan more.
I want to merge every two of these files into landscape B4-size TIFF files.
I want to do this by a batch job.
What is the best way?
Are there any command-line tools to do this job?
I do not have Adobe package software. Instead I installed MacGimp.
Although I have some experience with shellscript and Applescript,
I'm new to Script-Fu.
I made a GUI script for the application Preview that reads a multi-page TIFF file and saves as a PDF file with 2-UP layout. This method has two flaws:
(1) Preview aborts for large files.
(2) Resulting PDF file is more than five times as large as original TIFF file.
Namely, 40-page, g4-compressed, 400KB TIFF file results in 2.5 MB PDF file.
Maybe, the Preview does not make inheritance of TIFF compression.
So I decided to make multi-page TIFF files of 2-UP layout.
Thank you for reading.

Tiff Viewer which disables print, copy and save TIFF file

I am looking TIFF Viewer solution which woul disable any print, save and copy functions for a TIFF file. Thisfunctionality is available for PDF but I need to disable print, copy and save for TIFF files.
Would anyone know a TIFF viewer or solution that supports the following functions:
1)      TIFF viewer where we can turn off any options to print the TIFF file or save it to disk. That would include disabling any options where the user could right click on the TIFF and save the file somewhere else.
2)      It would need to be able to open multi-page TIFFs.
3)      It would be nice if the TIFF viewer could be run on both Mac and Windows platforms.
I need to send files to users for view only, and these should be in TIFF fomat, not converted into a PDF.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Sapna

The same answer applies to any kind of file.
You need a Digital Rights Management solution. Very expensive.

Gif or tiff files recommended for a PDF for publication?

Hello,
I recently lost all the source files (InDesign of course) for a PDF that I created, but I still have the PDF itself. I bought some software (recosoft) that allows
me to open the PDF in InDesign, but I am given the choice of opening the images in the PDF as either gif or tiff files. Since the PDF needs to be edited more and will eventually be sent out to for publication, can anyone tell me which would be better, to have the images converted into gif or tiff? There are hundreds of images and they are integral to the (black and white) book.
Thanks in advance!
James

Properly speaking, the question is underspecified.
GIF is a file format that supports 8-bit color and no dpi specification, and is generally assumed to be 72dpi but the user can always indicate the image should be scaled appropriately, and supports limited transparency. It uses lossless compression, which means it is a very good file format indeed when compared to JPEG, if you are dealing with line art, text, or hard edges.
TIFF is a container file format. It has hundreds of different options (which is to say, millions of combinations of options), can be compressed lossily or losslessly (but is usually lossless), and supports a wide array of bit depths and color spaces, as well as metainformation including the resolution/dpi. It's easy to produce TIFF files with options that are wrong for any particular purpose.
Most of the time, if you are forced to choose between GIF and TIFF, you should choose TIFF. But if your images meet GIF's somewhat narrow constraints, you are probably better off choosing GIF. Certainly with GIF you know what you're getting. A lot depends on what the software is actually doing, which can be unknowable.
(A more common and frequently confused dilemma is JPEG versus GIF, and many people mistakenly choose JPEG when the image is not suitable for JPEG compression, and this can be a horrible horrible mistake that continues to make me feel sick every time I see the results, which is all-too-frequently.)
In this case, though, one has to wonder what the software developers were thinking. I'm not familiar with recosoft, but PDFs store images in only a small number of ways. They can be compressed lossily with JPEG compression, and they can be stored losslessly with a few other choices (the specifics of which don't matter too much because they are lossless!) like Flate (aka Zip), CCITT/Fax, LZW, and no compression at all.
When you're extracting an image from a PDF, what should be important is that you don't transcode the image through a lossy compression step. That is, if it was saved in the PDF with JPEG compression, you want to extract it with JPEG compression. If it was saved in the PDF without JPEG compression, you want to extract it without JPEG compression. Any time you change lossy compresson formats, you introduce artifacts, which are usually undesirable. There's no way to tell from looking at the PDF what non-lossy format the image originally was (e.g. to distinguish a PNG from GIF), but JPEGs are clearly identifable.
I usually use the free command-line tool pdfimages to extract images from PDFs, using the -j option to preserve JPEG compression where appropriate. pdfimages is part of xpdf. You can also do it with Acrobat Professional, though offhand I forget if it has a setting that is smart enough to extract JPEGs automatically where appropriate.

LR 2.5 won't export TIFF files with LZW or ZIP compression??

I've just updated to LR2.5 and CR5.5, I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 on an AMD x2 64 bit pc.
LR worked fine until 2.4 came along and hijacked all my auto play settings. Adobe finally releases 2.5 and now I find if I export TIFF files from a Nikon D700 NEF all I get is a black box the same size as the image??? If I turn LZW or ZIP compression off and export uncompressed the export works again. JPEG also exports ok.
Anyone else getting this? Have you found out what's causing it?
James.

Thanks for the feedback Jao,
I just tried across the whole range of TIFF options and the only files that don't give me a black file are 8bit and 16 bit with no compression. LZW and ZIP both stuff up
Might try a complete uninstall and reinstall to see if that fixes things. These sorts of things only happen when you are in a rush to get lots of work done!

Save as a 16 bit TIFF file for Enlarging?

Question, a local photo developer told me that if I wanted to develop my photos at something like 16 x 20 or larger I should save my photos as a 16 bit TIFF file. Elements 4.0 does not seem to allow me to set the bits at 16, just 8. Is there any truth to what they are saying?
Also isn't the file size going to be massive when doing this. Most likely prohibiting an upload to their site?
I am shooting with a Nikon D50 in RAW format. Obvioulsy I have to open it in Elements from Camera Raw as an 8 bit photo to save it in either TIFF or JPEG format.
Any comments are appreciated.

Thank you for your comment.
When I save the 16 bit file in ACR it saves it as a .dng file. When I open the .dng file in Elements again the raw editor opens it as a 8 bit file automatically. This may be all well and good if I can have enlargements made with this file type but not good if what the developer is telling me is true. ???????

Raw File conversion to Tiff or Jpeg - best workflow for multiple files in Photo Shop Elements 11

Hello, I am pretty new to shooting in raw and Photoshop Elements (11). I have one big problem. Once I open Elements up and load the Raw files from the SD card it shows them all on the left side in Camera Raw. I make my contrast and color adjustments if needed, but then my problem starts: I do not really want to make any further adjustments in Elements itself, but in order to save my Raw files either as Tiff or Jpeg it seems like I need to - through clicking on the "open image". Now it only opens up that one particular photo. I did not manage to go simply back to Camera Raw to grab the next one as the screen just disappears. However, this one by one process is of course not the preferred way. I know that there is batch processing, but am also not sure if my adjustments that I did in Camera Raw will carry over as I am actually never saving anything and would like to avoid saving it before all manually as .dng files as it would just be another extra step. I hope I could make clear where I have problems and what I would like to achieve and hope you can help me. Many thanks in advance.
Philip

Simply select and edit each picture thumbnail from the left panel without clicking 'Done' or 'Open'.
When you have edited each individual picture, select all your thumbnails - click on the first one - shift click on the last one. They should be all highlighted.
Then simply click 'Done'.
Your edits are saved in sidecar xmp files.
If the thumbnails are not yet automatically updated, select the files, right click and choose 'Update thumbnail'.
No need to use the editor with 'Open as' if you don't want any further edit or jpeg/tiff/psd/png version.
Edit:
I am not sure I have understood your question.
The above process lets you convert and edit a batch of raw files without opening the editor.
If you want to get jpeg or tiff files from the already edited raw files, either use the 'process multiple files' of the editor or the 'export' feature from the Organizer.
The common raw workflow in Elements consists in converting small batches as explained above to take advantage of applying common edits or individual differences. In some cases you want to open the editor, in others not.
That's at the input time.
When you want to output pictures, the selection of picture is different for each purpose. You'll include pictures edited in different batches, some still in raw format, others already converted in version sets to jpeg/tiff... For each output purpose, those selected pictures can be sent to the destination folder in the required format withoug opening the editor at that stage either using 'process multiple files' or 'export'.
