Imported TIF is pixellated

I wanted to make a menu with the background3.tif graphic (which is used in the Wedding Band DVDSP template) as a 16:9. When you simply change that menu to 16:9, the ring becomes oval. So I brought the tif into photoshop, duplicated the layer, moved it over, and smudged the overlapped line to make a 16:9 photo. I then flattened the layers, saved as TIF and brought it back into DVDSP as a background. The ring is now pixelated. I tried doing this as a png and got the same results.
So I tried creating a blank file in Photoshop at DV Anamorphic settings and copying the TIF into that file. Now I can see in Photoshop that the ring is pixelated. I'm not quite sure why or what settings I need to change to get my smooth ring back. Any suggestions?

Are you talking about field reversal? Media 100 files are upper field first, are they not? Perhaps you just need to adust the item properties.

Can't Import TIFs

can't import TIFs off my Pentax Optio 550. transfered files to my desktop and still can't get them into iPhoto. Used to be able to, but haven't shot in TIF format for a while, so this is the first time in iPhoto 5.0 and 10.4.3. i get a msg saying the file may be of an unrecognized type or may not contain valid data, and it gives the file path. but the files open fine in photoshop. i tried changing the extention to TIFF or eliminating the extension altogether, but neither worked. as they are straight out of the camera, there is no alpha channel to gum up the iPhoto works. other images in jpg format on the same camera card imported without problems, so it's not a communication problem with the camera. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am having a similar problem with tiffs from my Panasonic DMC-FZ3. When I used the camera in October there was no problem importing from my camera to iPhoto, but now I get the same error message as David Lewis: the files are either unsupported or corrupted. I get the same error from Preview. Likewise, the finder does not display a preview, and the creation date is blank (could this be the problem?). The files open fine in Photoshop, Graphic Converter, and several other graphics programs.
My camera takes each photo as both a tiff and a jpeg (it uses the jpeg for display on its built-in lcd). I can import the jpegs to iPhoto with no problem, but the tiffs will not import.
I have tried every suggestion I have found on this forum, from changing the file name, to repairing permissions, to changing ownership on the library, to running the daily, weekly and monthly unix maintenence scripts. My next attempted fix will be to run the 10.4.3 combo updater.

Flash CS4 does not allow importing .tif files

Hello, anyone know why Flash CS4 does not allow import .tif a few days to date. I worked very well and now he tells me something of a Swift 3D importer, but have not installed or that or any other programs lately, I also have QuickTime.
The truth is very strange that no permits, hopefully someone knows of that is due. Need help, please.
Thanks

That's exactly what I'm doing (since using 1 Graphic Symbol instead of 2). In my current Flash work I have a bunch of Classic Tweens and those all worked. But when I try a Graphic Symbol that's a line of text, then it suddenly doesn't work (the timeline does change color with an arrow, but the text stays the same size with the exception of the second keyframe where it promptly turns into what's in that one). I even tried a random Classic Tween just now making a rectangle grow to make absolutely sure I wasn't doing something wrong, and that one worked immediately no problem.
And never mind that. Now it does work. I suppose I indeed did something wrong. Thank you very much for the help!
Say, one small question: does Adobe Flash have a function to properly set video clips after each other in one big video clip? Or do you have to manually count the frames and add the video clips at the proper frame yourself?

Please see above for what I have selected from the media panel.
In terms of the 'PDF Interactive export dialog' I am not sure what you mean, could you please talk me through this?
This is the instructions that I have been following http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/dynamic-pdf-documents.html#create_interactive_docume nts_for_pdf
However, where it says
"Buttons And Media
Select Include All to allow movies, sounds, and buttons to be interactive in the exported PDF file. Select Appearance Only to include the normal state of buttons and the video posters as static elements."
I cannot seem to find this menu, the only one I can find is Buttons & Forms and when I open this all of the options are graded out. Please see the screen grab below...

Unable now to import TIFs or to work with existing TIFs

This has been observed by other people but no answers forthcoming. I used to be able to import TIFs into an earlier version of iPhoto without any problem. However, now I cannot either import TIFs (error message warning of incorrect file type or similar text). Neither can I preview or work with those already imported prior to installing iPhoto6 and/or latest OSX updates.
Is there anyway of extracting the existing TIFs in the library ? I can't find any easy way to select by file type or filesize.

Roger:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where are those tiffs located that give you the error message when you try to import? If they are inside the iPhoto Library folder then that's the reason. You must move them out of that folder to be able to import them.
What do you get in the Edit window when you try to edit an existing tiff, a white window with the spinning cog? If so Download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

Aperture 3.1.2 is unable to import .tif(16bit) format images

I am failing to import .tif files stored in external hard dirve. The image was created by Sigma DSLR(model SD15; X3F RAW), and adjusted using Sigma-provided image adjustment program and saved as 16bit TIFF format. In Aperture 3, I see SIGMA folder itself but Aperture 3 does not show individual image files inside SIGMA folder even though I clicked the triangle arrow to open individual image files to be imported. So "import checked" button can't be clicked.

Yes! The problem has been solved. Thank you for your help!!

Pat,
Did you reinstall after updating to Yoesmite?
If not, you could try to reinstall using the full three step way, and see whether things work.
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Can't Import Tif pictures in A2

A2 trial does not see and does not import Tif pictures from a cd, so i have to import from the cd to iPhoto and than export to A2.
Any suggestion to import directly in A2?
Thanks!

solved. you need to quit and re-enter clicking to folder to get pictures, while it seems that A2 cannot import clicking import button when you are already working with it.

Phostoshop CS4 + FCP Integration - Importing .TIF files...

I made the upgrade to CS4 and am trying to pull in some .TIF files that I had either created, converted, or were sent to me. THe originals are coming either from Adobe Illustrator CS3 files or Adobe Photoshop CS3 files.
For whatever reason I cannot get Final Cut to accept my .TIF files. I have tried adjusting several settings and keep messing with it, but it keeps giving me the error message:
File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
What should the correct color settings be in Potoshop in order to correctly import .TIFs? Should I keep the embedded color profiles? Any other settings that I should tweak in order to properly pull these in. Does this have anything to do with my recent switch from CS3 to CS4?
My FCP project is HDV1080p30 BTW, if that makes any difference.
THANKS!

Could it be that the .PSD files were created in earlier versions of Photoshop?
I would have thought that a newer version can always open files created in an earlier version. Problems typically occur, trying to open files created in a newer version on older software, due to new features not being present.
If you dont have to animate individual layers, perhaps using the "Merge Visible..." (if you have transparency) or "Flatten Image" commands in Photoshop could be used.
Could it be that the new version of PS somehow handles layers differently? Perhaps your files were updated to that format when you opened them.

Some imported tifs given some RAW develop settings

For a long time I have processed files in other apps and imported the tif files into Lightroom for printing, slide shows and web galleries. Today I processed a group of files in Capture One 5, adjusted them in Photoshop CS4 and saved them as tifs. When imported to lightroom 2.5 many of them are displayed with very, very high contrast and brighter than they appeared in Photoshop. Some look fine. Most have adjustment layers, but that doesn't seem to make a difference, some with layers are displayed properly while others have look awful. What is happening is that is that Lightroom is applying the same brightness and contrast settings (50 and 20 respectively) to some of the Tifs as it would to RAW files, but only those two develop settings and only to about half the files. Clicking the reset button clears up the issue. Does anyone know why this is happening? The same this occurs to the same files in LR 3, but Photoshop, Aperture and Photo Mechanic display them properly.
Thanks in advance,
Peter

inforumman,
Your questions:
a) Correct, but saving to XMP does NOT replace saving in the Lr catalog. Save to XMP is in addition to saving in the catalog.
b) The wording "saving the XMP" is a bit misleading, insofar as an XMP-file will be created only in case of Raw files, whereas with TIFFs, JPGs, PSDs the metadata (edits or other metadata) is written into (the header of) the image file - but NOT into the image pixels.
c) As LRuser24 already said, it is not possible to have Lr write an XMP-file for JPGs, or for TIFFs, or for PSDs.

Can't import .tif file

iPhoto won't import a large tiff file of a pano, one about 50K x 3K pixels, 852MB. Wondering if the problem is that it's a tiff, or the file size, or the megapixel count, or something else?
It was saved in photoshop with no image compression, 'interleaved' pixel order, macintosh byte order, and 'discard layers, and save a copy'.
I'm googling but having trouble finding anything clear and concrete about tifs and iphoto. Using OS X 10.5.6 and iPhoto '08 7.1.5 and Photoshop CS3.

Thought I had it figured: maybe 30,000 pixels in one dimension was a problem for iPhoto as it is for photoshop--as best as I can tell, that is the limit in photoshop for refusing to save files as jpegs (if offers only tif, large document format, or one other for images over that size in one dimension).
To test this idea, I took the large pano, opened the full sized tiff file in photoshop, made files of 29999, 30000, and 30001 pixels max dimension. The first two were saved directly as jpegs, the third as a tiff file that was opened in preview and saved as a jpeg from within preview, which does not appear to have a size limit as does photoshop.
Then I tried to import 29,999.jpg (17.8 MB), 30,000.jpg (17.8 MB), 30,001.jpg (20.2MB) and 30,001.tif (322MB) into iPhoto.
Guess which imported successfully?
30,001.jpg and 30,001.tif.
I am so confused!

Adjusting max import size: total pixel size VS 10000x10000 max (for panoramas)

1.1 has been an amazing update. However, I found out there is a 10,000 pixel limit width and height. While I understand the reason for this (a 10,000 x 10,000 pixel image is huge) I create a lot of panoramics. Most are imported, but some exceed the 10,000 pixel limit on one side only (example: width) while the hight is a mere ~1800 pixels.
Is there a way to adjust the import function so that it can import images that might be panoramics at 10000-20000 pixels but not as tall, so that I do not have to keep copies of my originals and crop down to 10,000 on one side?

That is suck a load of bull. There are plenty of digital backs that do and in fact last you a company release a monster of a digital panorama camera that does. No the plain simple fact is they did use their brains when deciding that and they can't say well we just didn't figure it would be a problem. They were blasted for years because of the size limit in Photoshop that clearly indicates that photographers and others do work on images larger than 10,000 pixels in size. Robert

Need help for school! Imported images suddenly pixelated (CS6, Windows)

Hi guys,
Adobe InDesign CS6 Windows I'm a frequent user of InDesign, but I now suddenly am facing problems. Note: I use InDesign not only for print material, but also for creating PDF. I therefore do not necessarily need 300 dpi. Before: copy + paste from Photoshop or even web images into InDesign used to work. The images looked fine on screen and while printing. Now, when I import or copy + paste, all images look pixelated at 100%, high quality and overprint preview. It looks like InDesign is importing images 25% larger than their original size. If I resize the imported image to 75%, the image looks normal. 100% is always pixelated now! Did I mess up some sort op setting? I never had this problem before. Please help me, need this for school assignment!
Thanks in advance,
Justin

First of all, thank you for your reply. I just checked an example image and both are 72 dpi, in InDesign as well as in Photoshop. I even created a document for web in InDesign, using the 'web' & digital publishing option (which is 72 dpi) and placed the same image. At 100% pixelated, when resizing to 75% crisp. I don't know what to do..
The thing is.. I've never had this problem for years.. with importing images. Did I change settings or?
First one is Photoshop, second in InDesign (top left is import at 100%, bottom right is import resized to 75%). In case images are too small to see, full size: http://justinwust.com/photoshop.jpg & http://justinwust.com/indesign.jpg

When I import TIF and JPG files with same metadata, only the TIF files are imported. How can I change that?

I have imported and renamed TIF and JPG files with the same metadata re recording date and time. Only the TIF files are imported, the JPG files remain unimproved. Thus I have in the Finder e. g. 13 image files in the same folder in which Lightroom only finds 10 files. Any ideas for resolution welcome!
Thanks

Turn off the option Preferences > General > Treat JPEG Files Next To Raw Files As Separate Photos. Then do an import again. It appears that, in this instance, LR considers a TIFF to be a "raw" file.

Imported images distorted/pixelated

Hi,
I am importing images (PSD and JPG) that are crystal clear in photoshop, but when I import them to InDesign, they appear and print pixelated and don't have the same clarity as in photoshop. Can anyone give me advice?

I've found that relying on scaling in InDesign can occasionally be wonky when you apply a great deal of scaling (as you have) to a raster image. Do the scaling in Photoshop to get it to the size/resolution you need, and place that next to the image you've scaled in ID to see if it's any better.
