How to load compressed tiff image formats with JIMI

this method
Image image=image = Jimi.getImage(imgResource);returns incorrect Image width & height (-1) for TIFF compressed formats.
is there any jimi example showing how to properly load the tiff compressed image ?
thanks.

Wild guess: how old is JIMI technology? Has it been
kept uptodate, or has
it been abandoned? And is LZW compression in TIFF
format a more recent feature?yes i checked jimi docs and here is what they say :
TIFF
* Bi-level / Greyscale / Palette / True Color images
* Uncompressed images
* CCITT compressed Bi-level images with CCITT RLE, CCITT Group 3 1D Fax, CCITT Group 3 2D Fax, CCITT Group 4 Fax, CCITT Class F Fax
* Packbits compressed images
* LZW Compressed images
* Tiled TIFF files
* Handles all values of Orientation
* TIFF / JPG compression variant
* any color space except RGB
* True Color images not of Red/Green/Blue format

How to Render a TIFF image sequence with After Effects or Premiere

So I shot a timelapse in RAW using my D5200. Developed the images, imported into after effects to make a composition at 1080p 24fps, the clip is 15 seconds long. Then I rendered the clips a few ways and none of them are what I want:
I used the H.264 first, its just pixelated and blocky, doesn't retain a smooth resolution. H.264 output an MP4 that was 6.5 MB.
Then I tried lossless and it output an AVI which is awesome resolution but the file is 2 gigs! Not even VLC media player will play it smoothly without buffering.
Last I tried H.264 BluRay which output an M4V file which is 45 MB and I can't get it to play.
So now I'm here asking you all what the way to go is. When I download films, I will aim for a 1-2 gig 720p or 1080p file on roughly 2hr films. The resolution is great, the audio is great and the file like I said is only 1.5gigs average. So what are the rendering settings I should be using to get a file like this? Should I be importing it into Premiere Pro first or what?
-Thanks
Bruno
For Reference, here was my workflow:
I generally followed an Adorama Rich Harrington Time-Lapse youtube video on workflow which was:
Developed the Raw files in Camera Raw
Used the Image Processor to create the Tif files
Imported into After Effects as a TIF sequence
Interpreted the sequence as 24fps
Changed the Composition settings to 1080p 24fps
Then did the rendering as detailed above

1. You don't need to export your TIFF sequence so as to import it into After Effects, you can import RAW image sequence into After Effects directly. Camera RAW will start automatically on importing. What is more, you will be able to change your Camera RAW settings at any time you want inside your AE project: in Project panel select your RAW image sequence, right-click, choose Interpret Footage -> Main... In the dialog box click More Options... button (at bottom left), and Camera RAW opens.
2. Do NOT export to H.264 out of After Effects directly. If you need to export your composition to H.264, export it out of Adobe Media Encoder. Start from HDTV preset. If your goal is to upload your media file on e.g. YouTube, done. If you want to play it back on your computer, but your mediaplayer can't playback it in real time, start to decrease bitrate settings. Keep in mind that modern AVCHD cameras shoot with 28 Mbps, first AVCHD camcorders were shooting with 17 Mbps, YouTube preset in Adobe Media Encoder sets bitrate to 10 Mbps, Vimeo preset - to 8 Mbps.
Choose VBR, 2 Pass so as to benefit from better quality out of smaller file size.
See this The Video Road blogpost on Understanding Colour Processing and benefits of Render at Maximum Depth option.
3. If you're planning to use your After Effects composition in Premiere Pro project, you can use Adobe Dynamic Link. If your After Effects composition is quite complex, render a Digital Intermediate out of After Effects and import it into Premiere Pro. See this discissuon in AE Forum on some production codecs comparison.
P.S. See also this FAQ: What are the best export settings? entry.

that your image is not a valid TIFF file.
We need to take a look at the actual TIFF

Compressing TIFF Image

Hi guys,
Am trying to convert images on a folder to an TIFF format, It's working but the size of TIFF is too high. I have tried to compress the tiff using JAI encoder, still it's not working. Any body help me to reduce or compress the TIFF size on this please.

Hi,
This is the code I use to code compresses tiff images, it handles multi-page tiffs and could be of use.
I think the problem with your code is that the line tiffEncoder.encode(img); writes the output to the OutputStream associated with the ImageEncoder and doesn't modify the original RenderedImage.
public static byte[] compressTiff(byte[] data)
    try
        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ImageReader reader = (ImageReader)ImageIO.getImageReadersByFormatName("tiff").next();
        ImageInputStream imageInputStream =
            ImageIO.createImageInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(data));
        reader.setInput(imageInputStream);
        Iterator writers = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("tiff");
        ImageWriter writer = (ImageWriter)writers.next();
        int numPages = reader.getNumImages(true);
        List images = new ArrayList();
        for (int i = 0; i < numPages; i++ )
            images.add(reader.read(i));
        ImageOutputStream ios = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(bos);
        writer.setOutput(ios);
        TIFFImageWriteParam param = new TIFFImageWriteParam(Locale.getDefault());
        param.setCompressionMode(TIFFImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT);
        param.setCompressionType("Deflate");
        BufferedImage firstIioImage = (BufferedImage)images.remove(0);
        writer.write(null, new IIOImage(firstIioImage, null, null), param);
        for (int i = 0; i < images.size(); i++)
            writer.writeInsert(i + 1, new IIOImage((BufferedImage)images.get(i), null, null), param);
        writer.dispose();

[S] How to load another keymap in initramfs with busybox (loadkmap?)?

Loading programmers dvorak in initramfs with busybox.
Solution:
Download the keyboard map. Other keyboard maps you can usually find in "/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/"
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jiangmiao/dvp/master/dvp.map
Now convert that map to the binary format that can be used with `loadkmap`. Make sure you run it with privileges, otherwise you'll get the "Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console" error
sudo loadkeys -b dvp.map > dvp.bmap
Now you can load that map in initramfs using `loadkmap`. I have a custom initramfs and init and here is the excerpt from it
#!/usr/bin/ash
echo "Starting the init script"
#mount things needed by this script
mount -t proc proc /proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
# and so on
echo "creating the symlinks to busybox"
/bin/busybox --install -s
echo "loading programmers dvorak"
loadkmap < dvp.bmap
Problem
I have a custom initramfs with Busybox in it. I want to load another keymap in there. Busybox has `loadkmap` utility, unfortunately it expects a binary file, so .map files don't fit in there. The goal is to load programmer's dvorak in busybox, but the problem is generic, because any ANSI .map format will not work with `loadkmap`.
The map for dvp is here: https://github.com/jiangmiao/dvp
Here it was talked about, but unfortunately the patch link is dead: http://mstempin.free.fr/index.php?2005/ … ry-keymaps
How to load a keymap in initramfs with busybox?
FTR, here is the quote from that blog post
Unfortunately, This is not a trivial task in Busybox, as it uses a special binary keymap file format for specifying the keymap to use.
The standard Linux way of handling keymaps is using the kbd utility package. This package contains most of the worldwide keyboard definitions in a keymap format. The two most usefull commands are the loadkeys and dumpkeys, which respectively loads an ASCII keymap file into the kernel's internal translation table and dumps this table to the standard output.
Unfortunately, the keymaps file format (see Linux manual (5) for keymaps) is difficult to parse ,as it requires a full lex/yacc parser to handle it :-(.
However, such a parser is included into loadkeys... And this utility also provides a -m option that generates a C-style output of the file...
After studying Busybox's binary keymap format in details, it appears to be no more than just a file dump of all key translation tables for each state (ie. plain, shifted, controlled, etc.), preceeded by a binary map of translation tables.
So, I decided to write a patch to the kbd package to add a -b option that provides a binary keymap dump capability to loadkeys. Here it is!

Hi there
Unfortunately, CS4 does not support the Nikon D7000. You'll have to download the Adobe DNG converter (links below) to process RAW files from your camera.
DNG converter 6.3 - Mac
DNG converter 6.3 - Windows

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.

Jpeg Compressed Tiff images

I am trying to open TIFF files that have Jpeg compression but QT does not support this combo. These have become very standard in the document storage world as type of thumbnail/baby image. Anyone know how to get in contact with someone at Apple to see if they can add this capability? You can view plain jpg and tiff files with QT but not the Jpeg compressed TIFFs.

How Do You Make an Image Flow with the Text?

Hello all,
I am using CS4 InDesign on Windows Vista. I am fairly new to Indesign but try to do my research and homework well before asking what I hope is not a really dumb question.
I am writing a book of approx. 350 pages that is an illustrated encyclopedia of 156 plants and their oils.
Each 2 page spread is a single entry for a plant. The graphics frames on each spread are identical in size, position and styles for a consistent look throughout the document.As you can see (hopefully) each page is a single column. See screenshot below
In order to overcome my first problem of positioning and sizing the graphics frames uniformly, I created the master pages with the graphics placeholders sized, positioned and formatted to my liking. This worked wonderfully and I placed all of my 300+ graphics by simply over riding each frame.
Then in my editing I decided to add another 2 page spread somewhere in the middle of this fairly large document.
What a NIGHTMARE. The text predictably shifted but now ALL of my graphics were no longer associated with the corresponding text! Arrrgghhh.I had not anticipated this behavior (used MS Word for 15 years) or I would have done something different.
3 hours later I finished re -"placing" the images associated with the correct text.
I researched the help file and found out about the neccessity of anchoring graphics to text. I have read through the threads in this forum, followed links to "indesignsecrets.com/make-an-image-flow-with-the-text" and " Working with anchored objects by Anne Marie Concepcion"
My concerns are this.
An inline graphic places the graphic back onto your text layer for some reason ( Previously my graphics each had their own layer)
Not wanting to start (again) from scratch with my graphics I converted them to inline/custom anchored objects.
But to select then cut then paste every pre existing graphic to anchor it inline seems to be cumbersome and counter intuitive although the top smaller graphic did position well and the text seemed to wrap ok.
When I placed the larger bottom graphic on the left facing page using custom positioning I was not able to get the text to wrap at all.( The in line anchoring did not seem to allow for positioning on anything but the 'Y' axis).
It seems that there would be a simpler way to place text and graphics where you want them and have them associate and flow together (or not) when you want them to and have text wrap easily around an anchored object without keyboard gymnastics. It would seem that the concept of a certain graphic being associated or linked with certain text would not be an unusual concept in desktop publishing.
Am I missing something?
Can you place an anchored graphics frame on the master page with your desired options?
How would this be done if possible?
Is there any other way (i.e grouping) to keep graphics associated with the desired text so that it flows together if extra pages are added?
Is the fact that my graphics frames are on my master pages responsible for my text wrap difficulty? (I have text wrap enabled on my master pages)
Are there any settings, redundant or otherwise, I need to be aware of?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or directions

Hello Again,
Thank You Bob but I am still a little fuzzy on this. I have already created object styles for the graphics frames. For instance the small graphic underneath the heading (Its a drop of oil) has an object style applied. Now I checked and it has the anchored object options checked in the style dialog box. When I reapply the style to the next similar graphics nothing happens. It is still not anchored. Do I need to create a new style based on "nothing" add my effects plus the anchoring options? Basically start over. If thats what I need to do thats OK. As to your instruction that object styles could accomodate this anchoring thing...thats what I thought too but somehow I can't get it to work. See object style dialog box screenshot below:
For the larger graphic on the bottom of the left facing page. I still cannot get any text to wrap. In the screenshot example the text describing this particular plant doesn't go to the bottom of the page so the wrapping issue on this page is moot. However I have some entries where the body of the description is more involved and does go to the bottom of the page and the text WOULD need to wrap around the plant (larger ) graphic.
Hi there Harb, Yes I found out early on that object styles can't apply size (that would be on my wish list for sure) That is why I found that creating my graphics frames on the master page with the correct size, effects and positioning tickled me so much. Can you believe I originally went through and MANUALLY resized and repositioned each and every 300+ graphics in this book but it still wasn't right. I'm nothing if not persistent. (Now if I could just get my grown sons to pick up their socks!)
Anyway the master page graphics frames idea would be perfect if I could get the images to anchor in their respective spots on the master page as well.
For your second suggestion. I am not clear about why I would need to break the threads of each spread so that each spread is a seperate article. Is the threading issue the thing that is causing my text to move on leaving their associated graphics behind? If so how do I go about doing this?
So to recap:
1. I need to know if I can modify my object style or recreate from scratch with the anchoring option (as I said it didn't work)
2. Can't get text to wrap around the Custom anchored graphic at bottom of page at all
3. Im not clear on the breaking the threading on the spreads
I am willing to go back through and start from scratch (new master pages, styles etc ) if neccesary. This book is the culmination of 7 years of research and artwork.Basically the project is DONE. Now if I can just format it correctly.
I can't thank you both enough for your time, suggestions, expertise and patience.
Thanks again
LN
