Jpeg to tiff - is this possible?

Is it possible to convert a jpeg file to a tiff file
in Aperture or any other program?
debcoo

Converting a jpeg to tiff sees no loss in image quality from the process as there is no compression involved in the creation of a tiff file, ie. it is uncompressed. Going to jpeg there is compression of varying degrees and therefore a loss of information.
The real issue with the lossy compression files types, depending on how much compression is applied, is not so much the first time they are created, but rather every time you re-save a jpeg as a jpeg you throw away more information.
It is easy to work out what size a files should be, eg 2000x3000pixels=6000pixels total, x3(RGB)=18,000(KB) or 18MB, using this allows you to get a feel for the amount of compression applied, this file saved as a tiff will be 18mb, from here you can see how much info you have lost.

I wish to export several still images from iMovie as JPEG or TIFF. Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to add a freeze frame to extract the desired frame but I can't export it. Thanks.

I wish to export several frames from iMovie as if they were images (like JPEGs or TIFFs). Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to 'add a freeze frame' to isolate the desired frames but I can't export it. Thanks.

Ach... I found a solution thanks to previous posts which came to light after I'd posted what was obviously a question that had been asked before.

I have been sent a .pages document and would like to extract the photos included in the document as jpegs (need to edit on photoshop and put back in), is this possible? can't figure out how to do it.

I'm going to answer my own question:
Easy steps
Locate the document in the Finder.
Control/Right-Click on its icon.

Is this possible: images from 9i through ejb physically embedded in jsp

I am trying to determine whether this is possible...
I would like to store a number of images in an Oracle 9i db in CLOB/BLOB
fields. So far everything is ok. Now for the fun part.
Using an EJB I would like to retrieve the image, and embed it in a JSP page,
contents and all. Rather then the image physically being downloaded as a
separate resource, I'd like to embed the contents right in the document. Is
this possible via the object html tag, or some other tag - has anyone done
anything like this? Although the image would be embedded, I would like it
to display as normal in the browser. Please help! In the end, I'd be
looking for a file like:
<body>
<h2>below is the image</h2>
<object params>1294574599445BE3049AAACCEDDAAFFF023...etc</OBJECT>
<h2>above is an image being displayed by the browser</h2>
</body>
It seems like a pretty nutty thing to do, but we have a few requirements,
and large enough connect/teardown time to make it worthwhile if its
possible. Any ideas as to whether this is doable?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
You may use ServletResponse to setContentType to
image/jpeg
image/gif
image/ief
image/tiff
And then write corresponding binary image data to the stream.
Corresponding tag in the html page could look like
<img src="http://my/image.jsp"/>
Hope this helps,

Can I automate the writing of XMP metadata into JPEG and TIFF files?

I have written an ASP.NET 3.5 website application on behalf of an annual international photographic competition. Entrants will be uploading digital photos in either JPEG or TIFF format. Ideally, I would write entrant identity and image title information into the XMP metadata for each image immediately after upload - but so far, I have failed to find any way to do this in ASP.NET.
Thousands of images are involved, so I need to find a way to automate the metadata insertion, perhaps with some sort of script that uses a text file (extracted from the SQL Server database on my website) as the source of the metadata for a batch of images. Is this the sort of task that can be done by writing a script for Bridge CS3? Are there any scripts already in existence that I could use? I am a total beginner in this area.
I use a Win XP PC, though I have a colleague who, I think, has CS3 on his Mac (running under the Leopard OS), so scripts for either platform might be usable.

I use images for presentations. Recently I've noticed a decrease in quality ( sharpness and definition) of pictures copied into Keynote. Same problem with both JPEGs and TIFF files. I've recently upgraded to keynote 09, but with no improvement.

I use images of paintings for presentations. Over the last 3 months or so I've noticed that I cannt copy images (either JPEg or TIFF) without a reduction in sharpness and definition. Hope someone can help with this problem.

Figured it out myself! yay! (only took my entire moring)
The solution:
Dont print to PDF!
SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files.

I'm using Panasonic LX3 with its RAW format (a supported RAW format since sometimes with iPhoto '09 already)
When I choose to Photo Stream my images after import with iPhoto '11, it says "Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files."
My files are RAW formats so why can't I photo stream it?!
Is there something I can get around or need to wait for Apple to support this?!

You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

Unsupported canera - JPEG or TIFF?

Aperture 3.1.1 does not support the RAW files from my Sigma DP2s. I am storing the RAW files separately in case the camera is supported in the future. With Sigma's software, I can convert the RAW files into JPEG or TIFF and then import them into Aperture. Does it really matter whether I import the JPEG or TIFF? There is no RAW fine tuning for either. TIFF is lossless, the file sizes are larger, but there's no image quality difference compared to JPEG to my eyes. There might be a differences for larger prints, though. So, should I just import the JPEGs into Aperture to save the disk space? Any suggestions?

Hello Chris,
Welcome to the user-support Aperture discussion group.
The question you ask is not an Aperture question, per se, but rather a general digital picture format question.
The difference wouldn't be to your eyes when viewing on your screen. Even at full screen, you are probably only seeing 10% of the pixels in your image. Yes, JPEGs are good enough for most prints, but will they be good enough for all of them that you want to make? You won't know until you print them. I can often tell the difference in photos larger than probably 5x7. (My eyes are pretty in tune with JPEG artifacts. My wife doesn't notice them, though.)
Perhaps if you answer this for yourself, you will figure out what you need:
Why are you taking RAW photos at the start of your workflow if you aren't concerned with all the data a picture can offer at the end of the workflow?
I.e., why start with RAW from your camera if you are just going to use JPEGs at the end?

Exporting RAW to JPEG and TIFF

Evaluating LE to hopefully improve some workflow. I noticed however, that when export to a JPEG or TIFF format the file size seems much smaller that I'm accustomed. A D100 9.5MB RAW file converts to appx 2.7Mb JPEG at 100% and appx 7MB in TIFF. Currently when I convert I get a 17-20MB JPEG. I'm I missing something in the setup or is this the larger file size LE produces.

Excuse me Lightroom. I currently use Portfolio 8 to review and tagged a large number of images for production. They have a conversion process that allows you to convert a NEF file to JPEG or TIFF. When converting to from a NEF file that is appx 9.5MB in size to a JPEG at 100% @300DPI which is what my clients require, it produces a a JPEG file that ranges from 17-23MB depending the amount of information. But I still have to pull that image into editing SW to do some cleanup or slight exposure adjustments. It was my hopes that by using Lightroom, I could slimline a couple of these processes. But if LR only provides a exported JPEG file size of what I've seen thus far, then I would unable to accomplish this.
Is this better clarification of my question?

Program changes .jpeg to .tiff

My Photoshop Starter 3.0 changes images taken in jpeg into .tiff when downloading from the camera.
It only does this with my new Canon Powershot A470, not the old Olympus D-390.
Is there a way to stop this????
Thanks!
Pat from Calgary

There's no setting to change file formats for download, but cameras are capable of capturing and storing files in either JPEG or TIF; my guess is that you are capturing the original file as a TIF on that camera.

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.

Can you please post the code that you are using? com.sun.media.jai.codec.TIFFDecodeParam --> this can help you out.

How to disable the automatic conversion from JPEG to TIFF?

I am using Keynote '09 and Safari 4 on OS X 10.6.8, and I often want to drag and drop a JPEG image from Safari to my slides. I would like to keep the image format as is, but Keynote automatically converts the image format from JPEG to TIFF, so the .key file size becomes large.
Does anyone know how to disable this automatic conversion? Any idea? I know that I can use the original format if I save the JPEG image at a temporary location, such as ~/Desktop. But I would prefer simpler way. Drag and drop is the best.

Indeed, having the same problem here. A simple PPT file that was 1 MB ballons often to more than 10 x the size as a KEY file. If you rename to zip and open, one notices lots of completely useless "PLACEHOLDER" and background files that occupy several MB in total, plus some small JPGs have been converted to very large PNGs. This is truly annoying.
A similar lack of "file size economy" is present in all applications apple produces for the ipad/iphone. Images I uplodaded to the photo app become very large (often 10 x bigger). WTH apple? Be more economical! Even my 64 GB ipad2 is starting to feel small with your waste.

How can I convert a wave file to a jpeg file (picture) is it possible???

Hello:
How can I convert a wave file to a jpeg file (picture) is it possible???

zuckini;
I am pretty sure you know, but just to be completely sure: a wave is (usually) sound signal and a jpeg file is an image.
If you mean how to display the wave signal in a graph and then save the graph as a jpeg file, then just drop a graph indicator in the control panel, wire the signal. Check any of the example shipped with LabVIEW on how to do this. To get the image, drop a graph indicator's invoke node in the block and select "Get Image". Check this page for detailed information.
If you have something else in mind, please reply to this message with additional information about the wave signal, the image, etc.

I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

I work with a child who is not able to move his neck. to see the ipad, it has to be placed high above the table (eye level). he needs access with a mouse - is this possible?

I work with a child who has physical disability and cannot move his neck. The ipad needs to be eyelevel in order for him to see it, but he also is not able to raise his hand and would need mouse access... is this possible?

I'm sorry but the iPad does not work with a mouse, there is no cursor on the iPad and the iPad was designed as a touch screen device so a mouse will not work.
I really don't know what to suggest other than this new device, and it might be worth a look. I assume that the child can use his hands for a keyboard.
