How to batch convert tiff images to jpeg in Pages document

I have a large (about 1Gig) Pages 5 Package document with hundreds of images, mostly in tiff format. Since the software became nearly unresponsive, I need to convert image files in jpeg (though I wonder why unresponsiveness in the Package mode). Reducing file size is not an option since it decreases resolution.
Is there a script, perhaps, that would convert all images in a Pages document to jpeg?

What version of Pages?
Not to my knowledge.
You may be able to create an AppleScript, a very long shot, but it will not use Pages to do the conversion and will take longer to do than simply correcting all the images and reimporting them.
Preview.app can convert from one format to another and there are Automator workflows that will convert image formats. You will lose some detail because jpegs are a lossey format whilst tiff is not. Have you looked at reserving the images as compressed tiff files?
How did you get into this position? You must have known the file would be huge with so many large images in it. Pages 5 is particularly bad, increasing file size exponentially.

  • Converting tiff images into jpeg

    I would like to convert tiff images into jpegs with iphoto. I dont want to duplicate all my photos and then have to delete one by one!
    How do I do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The short answer is that you cannot. You will have to export the files via the File->Export->File Export menu option, selecting jpeg as the format and checking the box to include the keywords and comments, and maximum size. Then import the jpgs and delete the tiffs.
    You can get all of the tiff files together by doing a search for .tif. Then do a Select All (Command-A) and go to the export menu. Export all to a folder on the desktop. Import the new jpgs into iPhoto.
    To get rid of the tiffs once the jpgs are imported do another search for the tifs and select all again. Then type Command+Delete. That moves the tiff photos to iPhoto's Trash bin. Then empty the bin.
    If you have multiple files with the same file name you'll have to do some renaming before the export. You can batch rename them using the option Title to Date/Time or just date alone. I use the date taken as the file name as that gives me excellent chronological sorting and searching by filename for dates.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to batch convert RGB images to CMYK

    Hello,
    Can anyone explain in a step-by-step way how to batch-convert many RGB images to CMYK?
    Thanks in advance

    If you do want to use Photoshop for the bact conversion there are a few ways, including Batch and Image Procesor under the File>Automate or File>Scripts of PS.
    However, my preference is to use Russell Brown's script: Image Processsor Pro, via Bridge:
    http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html
    As similar one is Picture Processor:
    http://www.scriptsrus.talktalk.net/
    Both allow you to do multiple conversions simultaneously, to different sizes and file types, and running actions before or after the conversions.

  • How to copy & paste an image into a new Pages document?

    With the latest version of Pages, you cannot copy & paste an image from iPhoto or the web any more.
    Is there an easy alternative?
    Using the toolbar alternative "Media" takes ages.
    Why did Apple remove this great feature of Pages????

    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Converting PNG images to Jpeg

    I am operating with iPhoto 6.0.6 and have a lot of recent wedding photos that were sent to me in PNG format. How do I convert these images to jpeg? I've found lots of shareware for conversion but nothing that will run on a mac.

    Is there any reason to convert them? PNG is just as portable as JPEG.
    You can export png from iPhoto and choose JPEG as the destination format using the File -> Export command.

  • How to batch convert psd to png with layers

    how to batch convert psd to png with layers
    i want to convert lots of PSD files into PNGs WHILE RETAINING
    LAYERS!
    simply batching and choosing custom setting flattens the
    thing.
    how do i do that!??
    and i KNOW it can be done somehow - because i have some old
    png's i KNOW come from the same psd source. ironic, isn't it?
    besides - feature wish for adobe developers:
    A) batch conversion should include 300dpi to 72dpi and vise
    versa.
    B) batch conversion should include PSD to PNG and vice versa
    - including layers and transparency.
    C) RGB to CMYK option when converting from 72 dpi to 300dpi.
    D) batch exporting should include PNG32 which it doesnt now -
    but somehow DOES include the outdated and stupid gif-format.
    E) i'd like the Actions feature of photoshop - makes batching
    complicated procedures easly.
    F) I'd like support for the brushes of photoshop
    G) Better selecting tools for details like hair and fine
    edges.
    Important notes is that i as webdesigner often need to make
    certain aspects of my clients graphics into print material. Also
    that i use fireworks for picture editing.
    Praise for the developers of fireworks
    A) the compression facility of JPGs is AWESOME!
    B) PNG as fileformat is likewise awesome - i end up using it
    for almost all i do these days. Transparency and good file sizes. I
    have used fireworks cs3 to convert all psd and tiff and ai files to
    PNG.
    C) the vectors and styles and method of selecting and editing
    things in fireworks is FAR SUPERIOR to flash and photoshop!

  • Does Web Module size and convert RAW images to jpeg?

    I have never used the Web module before. It looks pretty straightforward but I have one question:
    What about images? Does Lightroom take the original RAW images from the library that I've chosen to go into the web site and 'pare the down' or re-size them to be appropriate size for the web site and I assume it would also convert them to jpegs in sizes needed for preview and for thumbnails?
    I assume that when you start the 'machinery' for Lightroom to build the web site that it will put all of the images needed as copies from the originals into a proper folder that can be then uploaded to the web?
    Thanks,
    Ken
    PS: if I choose a flash template, which are pretty nice, does it also include the flash module so that people can run the flash presentation on their computers?

    It will convert all images to jpegs, resize ... however you set it up ... and yes, it is so straightforward as it seems to be .
    It makes no sense to upload RAW files to the web for public use in the first place. Second, LR does not touch/change the RAW files. Therefore, how would it be able to integrate your dev settings when using RAW on export?
    You can add the ftp target in LR and it will upload directly to your web server.
    If you choose Flash-based, people need to have the Adobe Flash player installed on their computer. The Flash player itself is not part of the LR setup. Most of people already have it installed and who doesnt will be asked to install it.

  • How do i convert an image object to a byte array ?

    Hi
    how do i convert an image object into a byte array
    early reply apperciated

    Oh sorry my method and the other method need to have the pixels from the Image passed to them which you get my using pixelgrabber:
    //create width and height variables from image
              int w = img.getWidth(this);
              int h = img.getHeight(this);
              //retrive picture from image
              int[] pix = new int[w * h];
              PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(img, 0, 0, w, h, pix, 0, w);
              try{ pg.grabPixels();
              } catch (InterruptedException ioe) {
                   System.err.println("Interrupted");
              if ((pg.getStatus() & ImageObserver.ABORT) != 0) {
              System.err.println("image fetch aborted or errored");
              }

  • How do I convert raw images with side car to Dng and

    How do I convert raw images with side car to Dng and preserve the sidecar info in the DNG?
    I have tons of raws + xmp sidecars that i want to convert to dng, because the raws are from different camera brands and i want to get everything simplified. so that i do not have to worry if I will be able to access the raws in the future, if I decide I want to rework some of the files.
    T.I.A.

    If the images are already in your catalog you can select them then choose Convert Photos to DNG from the Library menu. You'll be given the option of deleting the original raw files. Either way, Lr will only display the newly created DNG files.
    The alternative, which is better suited to images not already in the catalog is to use the Adobe DNG Converter
