How to edit a tiff file

i scanned text files, created a tiff document...now i want to edit the text...but how?

Free OCR software won't have the highest degree of accuracy, this isn't critical if you are doing small amounts of text however if you are scanning something that has lots of text (like a newpaper article) then accuracy is important. Only you can weigh what your needs really are, the free apps that come bundled with a scanner or AIO printer aren't the highest quality normally so just be aware of that.

    How to open JPG, TIFF files in camera raw from Elements 10 organizer.

    Thanks for that Damead, I agree with you that Organiser is real pain (there is a total lack of intuitiveness if that is  the correct word).
    For my own work I use 'Lightroom' for around 90% of the time, only going into PSE10 for the 10% difficult bits the Lightroom can't handle.
    I only needed to sort out the JPEG file opening method within PSE10 for some freinds in a small Photo Group that I run in Woodhall Spa, UK. 50% of the 12 members are beginners & a number of them do not have Raw capability on their Camera's, but now they can get their JPEG's into Camera Raw within PSE10 they have the same simple tabular form of adjustment sliders (not as many as in Lightroom of cause) but it gets over the labourious problem of going thru the PSE10's individual tool selection process each and every time since we are trying to get everyone in the Group working with individual Tools rather than the 'Auto' functions. We do this so that they learn what they are doing rather than staying 'dumb&happy' within Auto all the time & they also learn how to get more detailed control for each photo.
    Ref. your comments on file handling/usage, I agree with your comments. Its far and away much more preferable to set up a file structure in 'Finder" (or in 'Explorer' if still using Windows) that you understand so you always know how to find the files. Also, I also never ever use the Camera Auto Load programme but physically 'drag & drop' photo files direct from the 'card' into the file system so I always know thier place (ie: they go into the location I want, not that which the Auto Loader wants).
    As regards your comment about 'Lightroom', I don't have any problems at all since I just imported the whole of my photo file structure into the Lightroom Library Catalouge and then it automatically shows up on the LHS of the screen, still in that format, so you can search it direct within Lightroom and display all of the photo's in variuos arrangements and sizes; everything is as easy to find as it is in 'Finder' plus of cause you have all the 'Tagging' possibilities to use as well. As you add more new files into the 'Finder' structure, all you need to do in Lightroom is reimport, starting 1 level up from the new files and Lightroom will find the new files that need loading (ignoring the older ones already in the Library at that or lower levels) then 1 click and its done.
    Your comments about getting others to follow a set file structure is very pertinant and also applies to evrything else that one ever does apart from just photo work; the times I have had to help others find info/files etc on their PC's because they don' know the location of anything is too many to contemplate.

  • How to edit the nbu file when the mobile device is...

    How to edit the nbu file when the mobile device is not connected?
    That software that is available in the nokia site “nokia phone browser” is not useful! Why?
    It is not working unless the mobile device is connected (attached)
    It is quite slow when editing the contacts! (attached)
    Then why the nokia doesn’t offer a simple software that enable us to edit and explore the content of our nbu files?
    Is there some workaround in this regard?
    Is there some software the can edit the nbu files?
    Thank you for the help,

  • How to edit move rename files in iTunes

    how to edit move rename files in itunes

    I don't like iTunes.
    I don't want iTunes to keep the physical location of my files because they can be on a SD card, or an USB drive and i don't want iTunes to stop me from playing a song because it cannot find it anymore.
    So i would like to use physical files just to upload to iTunes Match and then delete the link to the physical file.
    If needed, iTunes Match will download the file.
    The problem is just that i would like to delete all references to physical files to make iTunes Match download the file only when needed and stop using the first version i had given to it
    maybe i could have a Apple Script to check if there is a physical file referenced and if so delete it to have only the Cloud version     

  • How to edit 16bit TIFF image sequence file in FCP?

    Dear all,
    I have a number of 16 bit TIFF image sequence files (2048 x 1024 resolution) - some of them are RED footage, and others came directly from our f/x guy. We are going into a color correction session in a post house and we've been asked to provide a sequential 16 bit TIFF image sequence of the edited time line.
    I need to do a cross dissolve b/w most of the clips I have. I have created image sequence QT movie (reference files) from the TIFF images. Though they play fine in QT player, when I try importing into FCP, I am met with a "general error". I tried both dragging it into QT, as well as File --> Import.
    I am wondering what can I do to get these clips into FCP in order to apply the cross dissolve transitions I need. Is this a problem relating to the 16bit nature of the TIFF files?
    I tried exporting the TIFF image sequence standalone QT movie, and those imported fine. However, I have a feeling that the standalone movie conversion also decrease my bit depth from 16 to 8. (When I do my final TIFF output from FCP after dissolves / transitions had been applied, each TIFF file is now 8 MB instead of 12 MB, hence my suspicion that the bit depth is adjusted).
    Are there any settings I am missing, or does FCP simply don't support 16 bit image sequence reference file. As a test, I had also converted all my TIFF to jpg, and created jpeg image sequence reference file. These reference QT file can be successfully imported to FCP and I can edit them as if they are a clip.
    If FCP is not able to handle these files, what are my other options? After Effects?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Michael
    <Edited by Moderator>

    As far as I know, both FCP and Color only support up to 10 bit color, which is 1024 levels for each color channel, more than enough for avoiding color banding.
    If you need 16 bit for sure, I believe AE will support 16 bit output. Another 16 bit application would be the extended version of Photoshop, which has some limited time line capability.

    Hi all,
    I have a flash file, which I took from my website and want to

    opening all I can see in the menu bar of my flash is "File, View,

    the file and surprisingly rest of the other macromedia toolbar
    icons are disabled. I need to know from where to start - How to

    Your help is highly appreciated.

    I think you need to check out some of the books, online

    a little at a time and you will surprise yourself at what you can

  • How to edit a "locked" file

    Hey all,
            I recently edited a resume on a friends Mac computer and sent a copy to myself to my email. When I received the file, it was locked. Might be a pretty simple question, but how do i unlock the file and continue to edit the copy on my computer? I'm using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 at the moment if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

    Select it in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and uncheck the Locked checkbox.

  • How to edit a shared file on my Mac?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to edit a shared file on my Mac?
    I know it is possible on the web, using Numbers/Pages/Keynote for iCloud Beta. But I was wondering if it is also possible to download and edit the file.
    I think it is also important that the file automatically updates himself when edited on the Mac, so the other user could see my changes.
    So I don't have to download the file --> edit it --> upload the file.
    Hopefully there is a solution for this problem, otherwise I'm hoping this will come in the near-future!
    Kind regards,
    Berend

    How do I use a flash drive on my mac
    Since most flash drives are formatted for PC's rather than Macs, if you plan to use it only with a Mac, when it's plugged in, you can click on it in Disk Utility and partition it GUID and Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Note that if you've already got files stored on it, partitioning it will erase them.

  • How to edit a jar file ?

    Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.0 and it will not allow me to edit a jar file.
    Steps
    File -> Open and select a jar file
    Double Click on MANIFEST.MF
    The status bar displays "Read Only" and "Windows: CR/LF Editing"
    All versioning has been turned off.
    How do I get out of "Read Only" mode and be able to edit anything in the file ?????
    Thank you

    Come on, you can't be seriously try to edit a class file in side a jar.
    One of the reasons they are in a jar is that users don't fiddle around with them. If you have to manipulate the manifest you can do so in the deployment descriptor of the application in JDEV.
    If you are looking for something special in the jar there are a couple of explorer plug ins which allow you to do so (at your own risk).

  • How to edit an XML file?

    Guys, I have a podcast in iTunes, I want to start to promote it. In order to do this, I think I will have to put tags in the XML file for different sites and I would like to know how to edit this. Does anyone have any good places for me to check out how to do this?
    Thanks!

    Vinnie, thanks for getting back to me on this, I am pulling my hair out!
    What FAQ are you speaking of? The one in iTunes or someplace on this board?
    By claim, what I mean is this. Lets say I try to add my podcast to Podcast Alley's directory. If I copy and paste my RSS feed in there, it says that it needs me to add their "tag" or whatever in my RSS so they know it is my podcast. They need me to add this line in the XML file I think to "claim" my podcast so it will show up in their directory. This seems to be a common thing with other sites as they give me some XML code to add to my RSS also.
    Make sense at all?

  • How to read a tiff file that has more than one page?

    Hi,
    I use JAI to read TIFF image and get the pixels from a raster object. A TIFF file can have more than one image in itself. The JAI doc from SUN only mentioned that we can get the number of IFD (image file directory) by using
    getNumDirectories() function but no description about how to get different images separately out of one TIFF file. Does any one know how to do it or some example programs implementing such function? Thanks a lot.
    Marvin

    I'm not sure if this helps, but here's a web page which talks about Image I/O:
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/iio.html
    For your problem, they have a sample solution which can read a specific page of a multi-page tiff file, so perhaps you could make a loop to read all of the pages:

  • How do I view .tiff files in Safari?

    I read in an older post how to tick off a .tiff file view but I can't find those settings in my new MacBook Air, can someone help me, thanks

    The USPTO has moved away from using Tiff images.  They are now using PDF files so you should now be able to see the USPTO patent drawings with a pdf viewer plugin such as Adobe Acrobat Reader.  
    If you are still in need of viewing Tiff images, a free extension "Aspator" by Kenneth Yip was most recently still available that supported  Firefox.  see http://www.d-publish.com/aspator.php 
    I briefly used it and can't say much about it. 
    Prior to that Accel View Tiff was my preferred plug in but the publisher no longer supports it due to the change to PDF documents at the USPTO.
