Metadata transfer from RAW to TIFFs?

Hi all.... I am using the latest lightroom. and have edited and adjusted a set of images in RAW. They all have keywords and captions etc, and all are correctly adjusted with develop settings. I have exported to a set of tiffs (as I normally do) but accidently left the 'minimize metdata' box ticked. Consequently, I have a full set of now correct TIFFS, but with no captions/keywords. Is there a way, without reexporting (and hence having to do all final adjustments in PS again), of transfering all metadata from the RAWs to the TIFFs? any ideas oh wise ones? Cheers, mark

I'd be inclined to try this on an image or two: New folder, import the TIFFS. Quit LR. Put a copy of the .xml file that belongs to that TIFF's parent in same folder. Restart LR and try to synchronize metadata. If that works, do the whole batch. May not be necessary to quit and restart LR. This assumes the names of the orginal RAWs and subsequent TIFFs are same but for extension.

Conversion from raw data tiff format

Hi,
I am working on badi "EBPP_INVOICEDETAIL" ,there are two implementation available.
FM "APAR_EBPP_GET_SDINVOICE_DETAIL" is called inside the method "GET_INVOICE_DETAIL" ,
This FM is providing a PDF file for billing document,
I have a reqd for a new implementation and using a copy of the FM to get a TIF file for billing instead of the PDF.
Could some one please provide me the logic for doing so, OR
The FM to convert from raw data to tiff format.

I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using the opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my mac disc??

I'd be careful here: LR references files. It can copy them, like from an SD card to your hard drive, but it doesn't necessarily make duplicates. So when you say you "transferred" those files "into" LR it just means you referenced existing files. And if you delete those they're gone, unless you've made copies. LR does not import files by copying them into a managed library like Aperture does.

Stock value for stock transfer from depot (RG23D) to manufacturing (RG23A)

Dear all,
The forum posts that I found are all relating to the process of how to do stock transfer from depot plant to manufacturing plant.
The question I want to post is relating to the transferred stock value.
When stock first goes into depot plant (RG23D), the excise duties (CVD, Education Cess, Higher Education Cess, Secondary Education Cess) are all inventorized. However, in manufacturing plant (RG23A), they are CENVATABLE and not inventorized.
In the transfer of stock from depot to manufacturing, how can we split out the stock value from depot and take out the excise duties to CENVAT in manufacturing plant?
If using Stock Transfer process (move stock from depot to manufacturing),
1. Create Stock Transfer Order in ME21N using UD order type
      no accounting
2. Create DO in VL10B and goods issue
During goods issue, moving average of stock in depot plant, will increase stock with the same value in manufacturing plant and reduce the stock value in depot plant. How can we reduce the stock value transferred to manufacturing plant by the original excise duties amount, and pass this amount into J1IEX? Is it done in this step or later steps?
   Dr Stock into manufacturing plant [this value by right, should be reduced as it consists of original excise duties in RG23D?]
      Cr Stock from depot plant
3. J1IJ- RG23D selection for excise invoice for delivery at depot
    no accounting
4. VF01 for proforma invoice
   no accounting
5. MIGO into manufacturing plant (capture excise invoice)- part 1 register. the excise duties can be manually keyed in based on the original RG23D entries when stock is first brought into originating depot plant
     no accounting
6. Enter Incoming Excise Invoice by J1IEX
     Dr CENVAT Input AED
     Dr CENVAT Input BED
     Dr RG23A ECess
     Dr RG23A SHECess
           Cr CENVAT clearing
7. Question: Where to Debit CENVAT clearing? In normal domestic purchase process of raw materials into manufacturing plant, Dr CENVAT clearing will be posted during MIRO time.
If this process is not the correct way to do, please advise the standard SAP recommended way to transfer from depot to manufacturing plant.
Thank you in advance.

You have to add the Excise duty condition types as a Delivery cost Pricing condition types in STO Pricing procedure and have used them in STO. In Pricing procedure, there is no concept of Deductible and Non Deductible. So, what ever the Delivery cost condition you add in Pricing procedure, the amount gets loaded on to the Material cost..To avoid this, a negative condition type needs to be inserted in Pricing procedure with a different accrual key.
You have to add One Positive condition and One Negative Condition type for the same. Negative condition type is to reduce the condition value from the Material cost during GI.
Try this scenario in development server and revert back with your observations.

Time Machine Data Transfer - From FireWire Drive to Time Capsule - HELP!

Time Machine Data Transfer - From FireWire Drive to Time Capsule - HELP!
I've been searching for weeks for a solution to my problem. Here's the story I've come across since I installed Leopard on Oct. 26, 2007.
I first installed Leopard on my Early 2006 MacBook and set up Time Machine with a 200GB external FireWire drive. Since then, things have been fine, until Time Machine started deleting the oldest backups. I'm a pack-rat and hated this feeling of losing data. So, I now have a few months worth of backups on my 200GB FireWire drive.
The Time Capsule is released, I finally talk myself into getting one and transferring my old data from the 200GB drive to my 1TB TC.
I did some researching through forums about how to move data from one Time Machine drive to another, so I took the concept and wanted to apply it to my Time Capsule. I made a DMG image of my 200GB drive, in order to move the data. I figured if I can make an image, copy it, and open it on the Time Capsule - all will go smoothly - just as some had mentioned they've done with external drives.
Now, I have a 164GB DMG image of my Time Machine, with no hope in sight of gaining it back. I've tried taking the image, using Disk Utility, and restoring my original 200GB external with the imaged Time Machine data, but whenever I do, I come across error messages.
In Disk Utility, I've done the following steps:
* Disk Image is found on Time Capsule
* I select the 200GB drive and select 'Restore'
* I drag and drop the Disk Image to the 'Image' field
* I drag and drop the 200GB drive into the the 'Restore' field
* Select 'Erase Destination'
* Select 'Restore'
* I get the warning message that I'll erase the drive - I proceed
* I enter my password
Error message pops up:
"Restore Failure: Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be imagescanned/scanned for restore."
I select the image in Disk Utility, then proceed with the following steps:
* Click on "Image" then down to "Scan Image for Restore"
* I enter my password
After hours of waiting, I get another error message:
"Unable to scan. (Broken pipe)."
I'm going to see, after transferring the DMG to the Time Capsule, if I can drag-and-drop the files from the Time Capsule drive onto the 200GB hard drive.
IF anyone has any more suggestions, please let me know!

32 updates on this Mac since December 2007 - Hardware, software, OS...
They keep coming at about 6 or 7 a month. Some of them I don't care about, but several are essential. 10.5.3 has been seeded to the testers a couple of times and will probably show up in the next few weeks. Jaguar wasn't worth a d*mn until 10.2.6, Panther about 10.3.4, Tiger about 10.4.4 - I'd say we are ahead or on schedule Too bad I can't get Apple to fix Spaces. I wish they'd focus on what I want but I guess some take more time than others.

How to transfer long raw between servers

There is a view in remote server that has included long raw field in which images are stored in tiff format.
I want to transfer them to a local server. When I searched I found out that one way to do such transfer is copy command in sqlplus.
When I used this command to transmit the data, long raw field has failed. Given that I can not give a dump, what way I can choose to transfer long raw data.

Difficult to say if you keep information about your Oracle version secret.

AIA FP 11.1.1.6.0 "Metadata transfer operation failed"

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help. I am receiving the error below while performing a fresh install of AIA FP 11.1.1.6.0
"Metadata transfer operation failed" MDS-00597 failure to open the archive file /tmp/archive4766411343835100171.jar
Sure the above error points to a non-existent file but where do I get this file from? The directory is not write protected and the user performing the installation can write to that
directory. Also, there is adequate memory so I don't think its a system resource issue.
It is important to note that this error appears at the "Deploy Application Configurations" stage of the install.

Converting raw to tiff brings a lose of quality

actually i have converted a canon raw to tiff image using ligthroom 2.6, the matter is... why once converted in tiff highlights, moving exposition ability and more are so capped?
i have converted a raw to tiff 16 bit uncompressed with pro photo rgb... this means that i should preserve all color tone of the image and i would be able to make the same adjoustments that i use normally with raw files...
this in theory... cause if i try to step down the exposure i see whites going to greens and stuff like a damn jpg srgb 8 bit for channel...
what's going wrong in it?

Rubberick wrote:
ok, but why loss of data...
canon say me i have a 14bit a/d converter for channel...
tiff 16 bit uncompressed with prophoto should contain all data included on a raw file...
am i wrong in something?
Rubberick,
When you convert to TIFF in LR you are 'burning-in' the current settings. That is what is shown as white is converted to white and what is shown as black is converted to black; any higher or lower values (off the edges of the histogram) from the raw file are truncated (thrown away) then the values between the black and white points have any tone curves or tonal adjustments set in LR applied and the gamma curve of ProPhoto applied to calculate the values to be used in the TIFF. Note that the original raw file values are in linear space whereas ProPhot is gamma 2.2 encoded, this means that more bits are required to accurately encode the original data, for a 14 bit linear file (16384 levels) you require a 16 bit 2.2 gamma encoded file to accurately represent all the levels, if you have not already thrown some away (a 14 bit 2.2 gamma encoded file would only be able to represent 11752 of the levels with the losses worse in the brighter parts of the image, an 8 bit JPEG can only represent 254 of the levels). [1]
The reason for strange colour casts when trying to reprocess the highlights is that my reference to black and white above oversimplifies the situation; actually what happens is that you are truncating each of the red, green and blue channels (usually by different amounts) when creating the TIFF. When you then try to change the colour balance or recover highlights or shadows LR does not have the data you have thrown away and thus makes a poor guess at the correct colour. You tend to only see this in the highlights although it can also happen in the shadows, however it is difficult to see small colour changes in very dark tones and you are generally losing much less data in the shadows when converting to TIFF.
Using a 16 bit TIFF compared to an 8 bit JPEG allows better representation of the data that has not been truncated so changes within the white and black limits will cause less degradation, however any attempt at highlight recovery or significant white balance changes will be bad for both. You are much better keeping the raw format (or converting to DNG which retains all the raw image data) until you need to print, export for screen use or export to Photoshop for further changes. For photoshop you may still be able to maintain the raw data by use of smart objects.

Aperture Exporting JPEG's from RAW: file size and quality questions?

Hey Everyone,
So, I'm using Aperture 2 and I've got some questions about exporting from RAW to JPEG. I shoot with a Nikon D70 so original RAW files are 5-6mb in size. After doing some basic post processing when I export the pics at "full size" with picture quality of 11 out of 12 then the resulting JPEG is about half the file size of the original RAW file. For example a 5.6mb RAW becomes a 2.6mb JPEG. The resolution in pixels per inch and and the overall image size remain unchanged. Have I lost picture quality due to the exporting JPEG being smaller in file size?
My friend who works with me prefers to edit in Photoshop and when he follows the same workflow his saved JPEG from the identical RAW file in Photoshop is minimally smaller in file size, say 5.6mb to 5.3mb. He's telling me that my Aperture edited photos are losing quality and resolution.
Is he right, are my pics of lesser quality due to being a smaller file size? I've always been told that the quality of a picture is not in the mbs, but the pixel density.
I've bee told that Aperture has a better compression engine and that the resulting files are of the exact same quality because the PPI and image size are the same. Is that what explains the much smaller file sizes in Aperture?
I tried changing the picture quality in the export menu to 12 out of 12, but the resulting JPEG then becomes larger than the original RAW at over 7mbs.
Can someone please help me understand this better? I don't want to lose picture quality if that is indeed what is happening.
Thanks in advance for your help.

JPEG is a "lossy" file compression algorithm. Whether Aperture or PS, *every time a JPEG is saved some loss occurs*, albeit minimal at the 11 or 12 level of save, huge losses at low save levels. Some images (sky, straight diagonal lines, etc.) are more vulnerable to showing visible jpeg artifacts.

*Both of you are losing image data when you save to jpeg.* IMO the differences between the apps is probably just how the apps work rather than actually losing significantly more data. The real image data loss is in using JPEG at all!
Is he right, are my pics of lesser quality due to being a smaller file size?
I doubt it.
I've always been told that the quality of a picture is not in the mbs, but the pixel density.
The issue here is not how many pixels (because you are not varying that) but how much data each pixel contains. In this case once you avoid lossy JPEG the quality mostly has to do with different RAW conversion algorithms. Apple and Adobe both guess what Nikon is up to with the proprietary RAW NEF files and the results are different from ACR to Apple to Nikon. For my D2x pix I like Nikon's conversions the best (but Nikon software is hard to use), Aperture second and Adobe ACR (what Photoshop/Bridge uses) third. I 98% use Aperture.
I tried changing the picture quality in the export menu to 12 out of 12, but the resulting JPEG then becomes larger than the original RAW at over 7mbs. Can someone please help me understand this better? I don't want to lose picture quality if that is indeed what is happening.
JPEG is a useful format but lossy. Only use it as a _last step_ when you must save files size for some reason and are willing to accept the by-definition loss of image data to obtain smaller files (such as for web work or other on-screen viewing). Otherwise (especially for printing) save as TIFF or PSD which are non-lossy file types, but larger.
As to the Aperture vs. ACR argument, RAW-convert the same original both ways, save as TIFF and see if your eyes/brain significantly prefer one over the other. Nikon, Canon etc. keep proprietary original image capture data algorithms secret and each individual camera's RAW conversion is different.

Will the Keywords transfer from Lightroom to Bridge?

Will the Keywords transfer from Lightroom to Bridge

In LR once you add a keyword, have that thunbnail highlighted and (if on a Mac) hit the Command Key + the S key and it will send the info so it will be readable in Bridge. Or go to Metadata and click to send metadata to file. (I don't know the shortcut for a PC) I haven't done it with PSCC yet, but in CS6 I quite often had to close out Bridge and re-start it and the keywords showed up.

How can I change RAW and Tiff files to jpeg in Aperture 3

How can I change RAW & Tiff to jpeg in Aperture3

The purpose of Aperture is storing and managing image files including RAW and TIFF, generally users don't change the image format once it is in the library, there is no need.
If you want a jpeg version of an image for use elsewhere, you simply export it from Aperture, there are numerous ways of getting images out of APerture depending on what you plan to do with them, e.g. File>Export>Version gives you a lot of choices as to the format and quality of your exported file.

Excise amount transfer from plant to plant

Dear all,
My customer using 1 company code and 2 plants with different excise group

total excise amount is to be transfer to receiving plant
It is possible and HOW ?
Manjuath

Hi
which document type you have used in PO ? UB or NB
you have extend your material for sales view in supplying plant ?
you have given your supplying plant in PO
which item categories you have used in PO it should be U
you have to check your STO setting once again correctly

Saving from bridge and converting from raw to jpeg

why can I not convert from raw to jpeg in bridge (camera raw) and save to a location different from the original

Yep sure can.
In bridge select your picture(s) then edit in camera raw.
In camera raw look in the bottom left of the camera raw dialog box and you will see a save as button.
This will allow you to save your raw files as jpg, tiff or pngs.

How to extract channels names from PhotoShop-written TIFFs?

Hi,
Does anybody know how to extract channel names from PhotoShop-written TIFFs? (I'm really asking about spot color channel names, as basic channel names, such as "Red," "Green," "Blue" or "Cyan," "Magenta," "Yellow," and "Black" can obviously be derived from the color space tag.)
There's some XMP data in those TIFFs, but manual inspection does not seem to reveal channel names. So, this may not be an XMP question, after all. There's also a larger (for metadata) data block associated with a private (Adobe) tag, which could contain the information. It's binary, though, and I wouldn't know how to crack it open.
The data must be present somewhere in the file, as PhotoShop will show the channel names on re-open of the TIFF.
There's a TIFF/IT TIFFTAG_INKNAMES tag, which PhotoShop doesn't utilize.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Oliver

Solution is to speak to Adobe directly and receive confidential info.

Transfer from CS6 to CC

My nik software did not transfer from CS6 to CC. also my "collections" did not transfer. How do I get them to transfer? Steve

I solved the nik problem (you have to access plugins before reloading the programs) but still can not transfer my "collections" from bridge cs6 to CC. The collections am referring to is one of the tabs in bridge such as folders, metadata, previews, keywords, etc. I have many stored folders of images in collections that I would like to transfer instead of rebuilding from scratch.
