Incorrect TIFF tags added to raw files

I have observed this on a CR2 raw file updated by Bridge on Mac. I don't know if the same error occurs on Windows as well.
The tags XMP and Photoshop have the type UNDEFINED, but they are supposed to be of BYTE type.

Thanks very much for that lead, NormanPCN. I do have Auto Tone checked, though the rendered files in the example above do not have XMP sidecars. I will try unchecking Auto Tone even so, and post back when I see what happens.
Thanks again,
Kieren
EDIT: Bingo! I took Auto Tone off in ACR Preferences (in Bridge) and the non-RAW files immediately regenerated thumbs and previews. They now are indistinguishable from the PSD. There is still the very slight difference which I mentioned between the PSD and the CR2. While that seems odd, it is small enough to be relatively trivial.
Many thanks!

  • TIFF & JPEG renders of RAW files appear different when viewed in Bridge

    I am working with the demo of Photoshop CS6, with ACR 7.1. CS6 System Info will appear at the bottom of this post. Summary: AMD Phenom II x6 1090T, 16GB RAM, Win7-64bit, nVidia GTX 460 video w/1GB RAM, approx. 2.5 TB free space on multiple internal physical drives, Canon 50D, CR2 files. I have a camera profile generated through Profile Editor, and the monitor is calibrated with i-1 Match.
    I have been practicing with the new Basic Panel controls (Process 2012). When I felt that I was getting the hang of them I started saving JPEG and TIFF files and noticed differences between what appears in Bridge and ACR. I worked on this for some time and searched out some other discussions in the Forum which seemed to talk about similar results. I have now tried Image Processor via Bridge, Save Image in ACR, and Open>Save manually in PS CS6. By whatever route, the TIFFs and JPEGs are different (lighter in the following examples, but this is not always the case), while PSD saves seem to be close, but not identical to the CR2 when viewed in Bridge or Photoshop. Here is a screen capture of Bridge thumbnails which show the differences.
    I hope the labels come through legibly. The two images on the second row are CR2 and PSD respectively. What is really odd to me is that when I resaved the PSD file as a TIFF, the same sort of difference shows up in the TIFF. (See _MG_7960_via_PSD.tif above.) I have uploaded the CR2, its XMP, a TIFF and a JPEG on Sendspace (107 MB). I did this earlier in my experiments and regret that the file naming is not as informative as might be.

    I have run a few other ACR adjusted CR2 images through Image Processor and seen a variety of differences between the rendered files and the RAW versions. The differences seem to be in Exposure and Contrast. Most of these looked somewhat darker, unlike the examples above.
    I will happily provide any other information on request. Thanks!

    Thanks very much for that lead, NormanPCN. I do have Auto Tone checked, though the rendered files in the example above do not have XMP sidecars. I will try unchecking Auto Tone even so, and post back when I see what happens.
    Thanks again,
    Kieren
    EDIT: Bingo! I took Auto Tone off in ACR Preferences (in Bridge) and the non-RAW files immediately regenerated thumbs and previews. They now are indistinguishable from the PSD. There is still the very slight difference which I mentioned between the PSD and the CR2. While that seems odd, it is small enough to be relatively trivial.
    Many thanks!

  • Why won't iPhoto '11 display CR2 tags for Canon 7D raw files

    iPhoto '11 won't display CR2 tags for the raw files from my Canon 7D. I didn't have any problem with my Rebel ST or any previous version of iPhoto.
    Any help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Allan

    What a pity you didn't make the clear in your initial post. Would have saved us both some time.
    It might also help to clarify some terminology. What you are calling the "image file number" is the Title of the photo. When you haven't added a tite, iPhoto uses the filename.
    You can easily sort Raws from jpegs as Raws are automatically tagged with a keyword on import. So a quick smart album will tell them apart.
    As to why it hasn't been fixed, you will have to ask Apple that question, no one here knows and Apple aren't here.

  • Why does Aperture 3,not process RAW files from Leica D-Lux 5 ?

             Hello:
    The purchase of my Leica D-Lux 5 came with LR 3. All raw files can be processed in that Application.However.I also have Aperture 3 and it will not process RAW files from the D-Lux 5.I hope that Apple soon will address this inconvenience.Has anyone els had the same problem?
    Hoping for a solution;Thanks John Basso.  Mac OS X 10.6.7

    I can tell you that it does process them from Panasonic LX5's - I have one. The files are probably very similar with slightly different processing metadata and a different tag. It is possible to change the tag in the RAW file prior to import that "fools" aperture into thinking that the RAW is the same as a camera that is supported. I have done this with other cameras where the RAW files were really the same but the camera was not yet "officially supported" at the time I bought it.
    I kinda remember doing it to the EP-2 or was it the EPL-1? Don't remember but there are plenty of tools that will allow this - google is your friend.
    Just make sure that your install of Ap3/OS X DOES actually have support for the LX5... Might work but I have not tried it.

  • RAW file size.

    This came up in the Mac Photoshop forum so I thought I'd ask the real photographers.
    I had been told that one reason a RAW file is smaller than an uncompressed TIFF is because the RAW files contain un-interpolated pixel data, i.e., each pixel location only contains data from one color (R, G or B).  Anyone know if that is the case?
    It has to happen somewhere, either the camera or ACR.
    Thanks for any enlightenment you can give.

    Thanks, great help! Now I no longer have a medium format camera!

  • Tiff files are recognized as raw files

    A large number of my tiff files are being recognized by Photoshop and Lightroom as raw files. They open in Camera Raw with +50 brightness and +25 contrast.
    It has occurred in tiff files that I made by 1) scanning film 2) taken with Canon 10D 3) taken with Canon 20D 4) taken with Canon 5D.
    All I do is make a few adjustments in curves and hue/sat. Then I save as tiff. Everything seems fine... until all of sudden, a few minutes later, the thumbnail changes on it's own and suddenly turns very bright. Then when I click on the tiff, it opens in Camera Raw with the added brightness and contrast.
    Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can prevent it? I thought it might be a bug my CS3 program but I just upgraded to CS4 and it's still happening.
    Thank you.

    Thanks again. Yes, these tiff files have an adjustment icon over the thumbnails in Bridge. I'm aware of the fact that I can clear the settings with edit>develop settings>clear settings. But I want to stop this from happening in the first place. I don't know how they are getting ACR adjustments since I didn't even open some of these files with ACR. Some of the these files came straight from the film scanner. I just scanned, saved as tiff...then all of a sudden they have ACR settings. I don't know why.
    With my raw files...all I do is open the file in Photoshop, make a few adjustments, then save as tiff. All of a sudden, the images turn SUPER BRIGHT with the +50 brightness and +25 contrast.
    I would like to email a few of these corrupted files to somebody who works for Adobe so they can look at them and help me figure this out. Do you know how I can do that?

  • Converting raw files into tiffs and preserving the orig. date created

    How do I get the original date created to show up in folders when converting raw files into tiffs?  Once converted the original date created is in the "file info" window but does not show up as the original date created in the designated folder.  It is displayed as the same date as date modified.

    Thanks Mylenium
    As Mylenium has said, this information can be added later by various means. It will also depend on the software you are using on what date it is reading!
    As an example there are:
    The files date created
    Photoshop schema DateCreated
    EXIF schema DateTimeOriginal
    XMP schema CreateDate
    For an external tool you can use ExifTool http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
    or you could try to get a script written in the Photoshop or Bridge scripting forums.

  • Even though I have checked "Automatically open all supported TIFF's" in Camera RAw Preferences - My tiff files do not open up in camera RAW

    Even though I have checked "Automatically open all supported TIFF's" in Camera RAw Preferences - My tiff files do not open up in camera RAW - PS 6

    Sorry I'm taking to along, but I checked a few things using ACR 8.6
    Saved a png as an 8 bit tiff, then to 16 bit. Changed the background layer into a floating layer, all opened in ACR.
    It was when I added an adjustment layer, that it no longer opened in ACR.
    Now what can I recommend? If you have Lightroom, you can Import and work on your layered tiffs that way. I hope this is a viable alternative for you, because I think ACR does have a problem with layered tiffs and I don't really know of any workaround, but you are free to explore.

  • Is there any benefit to keep the RAW file after editing outside Lightroom creates a TIFF

    When working with RAW files in Lightroom and you choose to edit in Photoshop, the only option is "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments" (Edit Original is grayed out).  This creates a .TIFF so after you come back from Photoshop you now have two copies of the photo--the RAW file and a TIFF version.
    In my normal workflow, I make additional edits to the TIFF file in addition to the changes Photoshop made so I'm left with a "out dated" version of the RAW file.  Is there any benefit to keeping the RAW file at that point?  I'm doubling my disk usage by keeping it.
    Fire away.....

    Answering this question:
    This got me wonderig why LR turns my 25-30mb CR2 RAW files into 80-95 mb TIFF files when it sends them to Photoshop for editing but Photoshop can open the same 25-30 RAW file in DNG format and save it as a 25-30 mb TIFF.  Why are the TIFF's LR creates 3x larger than the ones created by PS?
    Camera RAW file formats are compressed to a small file size using manufacturer proprietary information about the image sensor pixel layout. This provides a more efficient loss-less file compression algorithm than TIFF's LZW or ZIP compression algorithms. LZW or ZIP compression is not used when Lightroom exports and opens an image in Photoshop for editing, but you certainly have that option when saving the file after applying your PS edits. DNG files using loss-less compression can produce a file size slightly smaller than RAW format, but I have no experience with DNG.
    Answering this question:
    CS3 can't read Canon .CR2 RAW files (at least mine can't unless there is a plugin of some kind). 
    Support for newer camera models like your Canon 7D are only added to the then current (and later version) Adobe Camera RAW Converter and Lightroom. Newer Adobe Camera RAW converter versions (6.3) are not supported in older version of Photoshop like CS3. It is the nature of business marketing and also due to the large expense to support older application versions with "new" plug-in features. It would be a support nightmare!
    Hypothetical Example:
    "Why doesn't Adobe Camera RAW 10.3 work properly with my Canon 1600 D MK XV 45 Megapixel camera in Photoshop CS3?"

  • RAW files end up as TIFF. Why?

    After taking 300-400 photos and processing them in Aperture 3, OnOne and CS6 (CC) I always end up with some TIFF files. I have no idea how, when or why they were created. Some unknown thing happens during processing that turns some of my RAW files into TIFF files. This TIFF issue is a new issue for me, but I have noticed when I download a bunch of photos to SAM'S the automated SAM'S CLUB download system rejects the TIFF files. How can I avoid this TIFF issue? Do you know of anyway I can batch up the TIFF files and convert them to JPEG in one quick process before sending off to SAM'S CLUB for printing.

    I'm assuming you are using Aperture's "Edit with..." menu items. What happens in Aperture when you use an external editor like PS or OnOne, is that it creates a new version of the image to be edited as either a TIFF or PSD file and creates a new corresponding master file in that format. The TIFF/PSD is specified in the Export panel in Aperture's Preferences. (Even if you specify something stupid like Calendar for your external editor, you still have only those two choices for the format of the file to be edited.) The external edits are performed on the new TIFF or PSD version, and your original RAW is untouched. Your external edits show up in the new version when you return to Aperture.
    For compatibility with Sam's and most other places that provide prints, you will have to export your edited version from Aperture as a JPEG and send out the exported file.

    FCE can use DV or AIC video formats natively.  Any other format will need to be converted to one of those two if you want to avoid constant rendering.  The clips you use must match the Sequence settings.

  • Aperture 1.1 will not import tiff file if name is the same as the raw file

    Before Aperture I would open up a raw file in Photoshop, edit it and save it as a tiff or a psd file keeping the same name. When I import a folder of images saved like this the only files I see imported are the raw files and any tiff or psd file I renamed to something else. I tried looking under Images> New version from jpeg and it's grayed out with no option to see a tiff file.
    I took a quick look and searched through the forum and found nothing. I can't be the only one doing this!

    That's a ridiculous bug and the fact that you cannot see the entire filename (.nef, .tif, .psd) on the light table (except in tooltips) is pretty incredible too. It's like they were assuming there was no other previous workflow.
    A workaround seems to be putting all the like named files in another folder before importing into Aperture. Time consuming if you have a few hundred projects and it could result in losing a few files here and there plus you need to manually add them to the proper stacks.
    The concept of Aperture is still brilliant it just needs a lot more beta testing. It's kind of like Apple making Spotlight the default without giving you the option of using the clean straight forward old Find.

  • Adding RAW files to Aperture when JPEG exists

    Here's my situation:
    I recently bought Aperture and loaded my existing iPhoto library into it.  This library only includes JPEG files.  I have been shooting RAW+JPEG with a newer camera so I have an entire set of RAW files in a separate folder on my computer (which I never added to my iPhoto library).  I want to now load these RAW files into Aperture -- will they correctly pair up with the corresponding JPEG's?  What are the steps I need to take to ensure that they somehow pair with the existing JPEGs and I don't end up with duplicate RAW+JPEG files in different areas of my Aperture library?  I would also like the RAWs to become the master over the JPEGs. 

    Read this page of the manual:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=4%26sec tion=6%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292IMP-SW5
    To import the RAW files that match the JPEG files in your Aperture library
    Choose “Matching RAW files” from the Import pop-up menu.The Include pop-up menu appears below the Import pop-up menu.
    Do one of the following:
    To import all matching RAW files regardless of rating: Choose “All matching files” from the Include pop-up menu.
    To import all RAW files matching JPEG files that are unrated or better: Choose “Unrated or better” from the Include pop-up menu.
    To import all RAW files that match the current rating: Choose “Current filter” from the Include pop-up menu.

  • Raw File conversion to Tiff or Jpeg - best workflow for multiple files in Photo Shop Elements 11

    Hello, I am pretty new to shooting in raw and Photoshop Elements (11).  I have one big problem. Once I open Elements up and load the Raw files from the SD card it shows them all on the left side in Camera Raw. I make my contrast and color adjustments if needed, but then my problem starts: I do not really want to make any further adjustments in Elements itself, but in order to save my Raw files either as Tiff or Jpeg it seems like I need to - through clicking on the "open image". Now it only opens up that one particular photo. I did not manage to go simply back to Camera Raw to grab the next one as the screen just disappears. However, this one by one process is of course not the preferred way. I know that there is batch processing, but am also not sure if my adjustments that I did in Camera Raw will carry over as I am actually never saving anything and would like to avoid saving it before all manually as .dng files as it would just be another extra step. I hope I could make clear where I have problems and what I would like to achieve and hope you can help me. Many thanks in advance.

    Simply select and edit each picture thumbnail from the left panel without clicking 'Done' or 'Open'.
    When you have edited each individual picture, select all your thumbnails - click on the first one - shift click on the last one. They should be all highlighted.
    Then simply click 'Done'.
    Your edits are saved in sidecar xmp files.
    If the thumbnails are not yet automatically updated, select the files, right click and choose 'Update thumbnail'.
    No need to use the editor with 'Open as' if you don't want any further edit or jpeg/tiff/psd/png version.
    Edit:
    I am not sure I have understood your question.
    The above process lets you convert and edit a batch of raw files without opening the editor.
    If you want to get jpeg or tiff files from the already edited raw files, either use the 'process multiple files' of the editor or the 'export' feature from the Organizer.
    The common raw workflow in Elements consists in converting small batches as explained above to take advantage of applying common edits or individual differences. In some cases you want to open the editor, in others not.
    That's at the input time.
    When you want to output pictures, the selection of picture is different for each purpose. You'll include pictures edited in different batches, some still in raw format, others already converted in version sets to jpeg/tiff... For each output purpose, those selected pictures can be sent to the destination folder in the required format withoug opening the editor at that stage either using 'process multiple files' or 'export'.
