How do I ZIP compress existing TIFF tiles in Lightroom 3?

I have imported about 1000 .tif files into Lightroom and done some cropping and basic editing to them. They are 8bit uncompressed tiff files in Adobe1998 color space. I am trying to find a way to compress the original tiff files with ZIP compression in Lightroom. I don't want to export them because I want to save the original files and their edit history. I don't want to loose the original files before I cropped or color corrected them. I just want to reduce file sizes. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks so much for your help!

You can´t compress original files into zipped files within Lightroom. If you are not actively using these images in LR, you may wish to zip them all up outside LR and then delete the originals. LR will then show them as missing, but will keep the metadata, including editing history, in the catalog. You could write the metadata to xmp files before you zip up your originals, and include these xmp files with the originals in the zipped folder, if you want to play it really safe. It is not necessary to keep the originals around as such. LR keeps track of what they were and what had been done to them internally, even if they are missing. When you need to work with these files again in LR, you can unzip them and show LR where they are.

I am trying to send minutes of a meeting to pc users by clicking on export and choosing the word option. Recipients are unable to open them saying they came as a ZIP compressed folder. No idea what that is or how to correct the problem. Help!

I am trying to send minutes of a meeting created in Pages to pc users by clicking on export then word. Recipients are telling me they cannot open the minutes which have come as a ZIP compressed folder. I have no idea what this is or how to fix the problem. Help?!

A pc user can open a .zip file by double clicking it.
If that does not work, you can convert the document to a .pdf by doing the following.
With the document active, type commannd + P (the print command).
In the next screen, on the bottom left, click on PDF, and in the drop down select Save as pdf...
You will be asked where the .pdf should be saved - the desktop is the easiest.
Now when you want to send the minutes, you have them as a .pdf file. Anyone with Adobe Acrobat Reder can open this.

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!

How do I zip, archive, distribute, whatever folders FREE?

How do I zip, archive, distribute, whatever folders FREE?

If you want a cross-platform tool, use jar.exe that comes with the JDK distribution.
Usage: jar {ctxu}[vfm0M] [jar-file] [manifest-file] [-C dir] files ...
Options:
-c create new archive
-t list table of contents for archive
-x extract named (or all) files from archive
-u update existing archive
-v generate verbose output on standard output
-f specify archive file name
-m include manifest information from specified manifest file
-0 store only; use no ZIP compression
-M do not create a manifest file for the entries
-i generate index information for the specified jar files
-C change to the specified directory and include the following file
If any file is a directory then it is processed recursively.
The manifest file name and the archive file name needs to be specified
in the same order the 'm' and 'f' flags are specified.
Example 1: to archive two class files into an archive called classes.jar:
jar cvf classes.jar Foo.class Bar.class
Example 2: use an existing manifest file 'mymanifest' and archive all the
files in the foo/ directory into 'classes.jar':
jar cvfm classes.jar mymanifest -C foo/ .
Change to the directory where your classes are, and invoke the jar command as follows
jar -cvf test.jar *
This will include all the path information for all folders(packages) in the current directory.

How to know what compression format is used for images in pdf file? (jpeg2000 issue with iPad)

I have a pdf file whose images are compressed in jpeg2000 format which the iPad doesn't support. I used Acrobat to save the pdf file using the zip compression for the images and another time using the jpg compression. I set this in the PDF Optimizer screen. The images in the pdf do not show up in the iPad.
I am not sure if I am doing something wrong. How do I know what compression was used for the images in a pdf file?

My work around for now is "Make Compatible with…’ from Acrobat 4.0 " which does not support JPEG2000 compression.

WebService Client - how to enable HTTP Compression

Hi
I have written a simple WebService Client. The WebService expects that the WebService clients enable HTTP compression. This is the exact text from the docs:-
""1. Client should be HTTP Compression enabled
HTTP Compression had been made mandatory for API�s. Thus API�s client should
include �Accept-Encoding: zip� header as part of request and should be able to
handle compressed data. Please note that system will send an error message if client
are not http compression enabled saying client should be compression enabled."
I do not know how to enable HTTP compression in the WebService Client. The method called is "GetInstantaneousFlowData". It accepts no arguments and returns xsd:datetime.
The wsdl can be found at:-
http://energywatch.natgrid.co.uk/EDP-PublicUI/PublicPI/InstantaneousFlowWebService.asmx?WSDL
Can someone please help :-

Rishika,
Thanks for your reply.
Could I get clariffication on some more thing?
I am using Axis 1.4 version. And I am able to implement the gzip while doing the following steps.
1) Change the pivote value to CommonsHTTpSender.
<transport name="http" pivot="java:org.apache.axis.transport.http.CommonsHTTPSender"/>
2) public class RetreiveReservationsSOAPBindingStubLocal extends RetreiveReservationsSOAPBindingStub.
I Override the method to support GZIP.
org.apache.axis.client.Call _call = super.createCall();
call.setOperation(operations[0]);
_call.setUseSOAPAction(true);
_call.setSOAPActionURI("retreiveReservations");
_call.setEncodingStyle(null);
call.setProperty(org.apache.axis.client.Call.SENDTYPE_ATTR, Boolean.FALSE);
call.setProperty(org.apache.axis.AxisEngine.PROPDOMULTIREFS, Boolean.FALSE);
call.setProperty(HTTPConstants.MCACCEPT_GZIP, Boolean.TRUE);
call.setProperty(HTTPConstants.MCGZIP_REQUEST, Boolean.TRUE);
call.setSOAPVersion(org.apache.axis.soap.SOAPConstants.SOAP11CONSTANTS);
_call.setOperationName(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("", "retreiveReservations"));
super.setRequestHeaders(_call);
super.setAttachments(_call);
Object resp = call.invoke(new Object[] {retreiveReservationsRequest});
I am able to send and receive the request and response in gzip encoded format.
Now my clarrification is,
Is it possible to set the piote value to CommonsHTTPSender for the transport http through my code?
How could I set the values from code?
Reason is, I don't want to manually edit the axis 1.4's client-config.wsdd
Since this is very critical thing, please please help me.
Thanks in advance.

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?

HI I have a video on iPhoto how do I zip it so I can email

I have a video on iPhoto would like to email but it is to large to atttach, how do I zip it so I can send it?

Yes. But remember that most video files are already very, very compressed files, so zipping will make no difference.
Options:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material onlne.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they downoad the material to their machines to view.

How to read zip file

How to read zip file

Zip files are not files you read. They are compressed archives containing other files. There are many utilities available for iOS that will expand zip files into its component files. I believe Documents by Readdle will expand zip files.
However, if these zip files are attached to a pdf, I am unsure if Documents will do that. Reader and Acrobat will not open zip attachments on Macs and PCs as a security precaution.

Disk Imaging, DMG, Zip, COmpressing

Hi,
I just downloaded a cool free software called FreeDMG which creates disk images. The problem is I'm not quite sure what it's used for! I know it creates .dmg files out of folders, i.e. creates a disk image, but what could I use this for? I know most program developers must use it to create the .dmg versions of their programs, but for a regular user....
Is it a compression tool? Can I use it to reduce the size of some of my file folders for back up purposes? If not, what for?
By the way are there other OS X solutions for compressing large file folders and reduce space occupied by a back up solution?
thanks
J

Wade,
I'm a pretty comfortable osx user and I'm targetting you with this question as you seem to have a lot of posts and that nifty developer icon. I'm well aware of how 10.4 pulled out from having stuffit in their systems and allowed for creation of native zip archives via Create Archive in the finder itself. I'm glad to have found out in my reading that zip natively now supports all resource forks as a designer using old school fonts.
Here are some of my concerns for my workflow in prepping for archving work and looking towards a compatible future:
-Is there a way to tweak default zip compressions settings to getting smaller archives?
-What about RAR, I'm in the midst of trying to figure out if RAR has any support for resources forks often found in font files. An additional benefit that I see in RAR is the parity factor on windows boxes. (I'm aware of MacParDeluxe and Split and Concat as well) But essentially it would be great to cut down usage of programs to archive to say.. ONE. I'm not a windows user but I've seen some windows users workflows for archiving their work and they can create archivable, "paritied" segments of their projects, and set multiple to go and let their computers do compressing while they sleep.
-which brings me to my next point: I'm a little peeved with my experience at DMG, ZIP, and STUFFIT. Here's why, keeping in mind, I'd love not to have to drop to command line to accomplish these tasks: Compress/decompress multiple folders of projects as separate archives simultaneously, maintain resource forks for legacy files-just in case.
DMG: *.dmg's are great, yet I believe I've found a issue with them... try mounting 3-4dmg's on your desktop from a portable drive each dmg having a couple hundred files in them (images often in my case). Then grab all those mounted dmgs to a local drive. The copy begins with counting... and disappears at times, no warning... and incomplete... I've logged this on macintouch with no response and have tried this with similar results on numerous pristine systems.
Also, in my experience in using a very nice program like DropDMG it does a GREAT job of creating dmgs for a folder at a time... but when attempting to set even two to go, one will error out.
ZIP: Once again, happy to see that I can now preserve resource forks natively in OSX through "Creative Archive..." Bummed when I try on occasion to expand a folder of 24 zip archives at once (Apple+A, Apple+O in a folder) and occasionally they start erroring out... (seems to happen with fonts a lot in my experience). And again/addtionally, any way to tap into compression settings.
STUFFIT: Aladdin...sigh They rose, they fell... OSX x'ed them, they seem to be better... but not quite. IMPRESSIVE compression with the stuffitX archives, but boy, they really start up the turbines on my machine and not to forget lets multitask the mac... I'd love to rightclick one folder after another and set 10 project folders to go overnight stuffing away.. but the instant proceed on the second archive while the first is going... i notice the first one either freezes or the progress bar stops givig me any accurate visual feedback.
So Wade, perhaps I've been going about my archiving all wrong, but I do know some of my concerns are well grounded and as I'd love to set my system to crunch away while I sleep without a concern in the world at night, I really don't think I need to be baby sitting a program while archiving or unarching and I'd love to feel secure in whatever format I choose for archiving/future forecasting. Please do share any thoughts suggestions you have on all this.
regards,
erg8t

Internally (zip) Compress table content possible?

I have a database with approx 20 TABLEs which contain a lot of data.
This database is rarely used (once for some hours every couple of weeks).
When I generate SQL scripts (with INSERTs) to re-create the data the file size will be huge (approx 30 GB !!)
When I zip compress these SQL scripts they will shrink to approx 20 MB !!!
So the relationship between data size uncompress and compressed is remarkable 1:1500
In order to avoid a waste of disc space I am thinking to let Oracle compress the data internally as well.
The final solution should work something like:
1.) Start Oracle services
2.) Connect to databse
3.) Tell Oracle (through SQLplus command): "Hey Oracle, uncompress internally all tables
tab1, tab2, tab3,..., t20
4.) Perform some SQL operations SELECT, UPDATE,...
5.) Tell Oracle (through SQLplus command): "Hey Oracle, now re-compress internally all tables
tab1, tab2, tab3,..., t20 again
6.) Disconnect from database
7.) Shutdown Oracle services
Ok, I know compressing and uncompressing will take some minutes but this is acceptable for me.
Is this somehow possible?
Peter

Great! Thank you.
How do I enable TABLESPACE compression as it is mentioned on this page
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17120/tables002.htm#ADMIN11630
But when I go to the following page then there is no clause described for compression for TABLESPACEs
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_3002.htm
Is this a feature which needs to be explicitely enabled or is it build-in out-of-the-box in all version (Express, Standard, Enterprise) of Oracle?
