Numbers dropping placed TIFF images

I have a few versions of our company logo placed on various sheets in our master Estimate template. Frequently, when I create a new file from this template (or a copy of one that I've set up as a master for a particular ongoing client) I find that the images are missing and I have to re-insert them. This does not seem to happen every time, but quite often.
Does anyone know why this might be happening and how to prevent it? Thanks!

Good.
If you prefer to keep your image linked you can of course replace the embedded image with a fresh linked one while still making use of the clipping mask.

Problems with placing Tiff images in CS2

When placing a Tiff image in CS2 the file crashes or a memory warning appears. I am able to place much larger EPS images, so image size is not necessarily a factor Saving the file as an EPS in PhotoShop is not a solution as I am placing GeoTiffs which must retain their geographic reference file. The OS is Windows XP 32 - a quad core proc. - Radeon HD 6350 graphics controller with 512mb (dedicated)

No - it is possible to place a geotiff in illustrator - I have been able to do it. However, now I have a new PC and am unable to place the same types of tiff images I previously was able to in an older PC.

Can't use threshold on live traced placed tiff image

I can't use the threshold controls on a tiff image that I placed and traced. I feel dumb.
Plus, I never learned how to reduce the resoolution on my projects...
Any takers?
Thanks!

MBA old gen. and Snow Leopard - TIFF images seen as blank in some web pages

After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I see blank the TIFF images displayed in some web sites, like for example any patent image in the www.uspto.gov web site.
This happens on both Safari and Firefox. They both use the QuickTime plugin (I have version 7.6.3).
However, if I drag and drop the TIFF image and save it in the local hard drive, local applications like Preview display the page correctly.
It seems to be an issue with QuickTime and possibly the MacBook model (I have a first generation MacBook Air, with the GMA X3100 Intel graphic card).
Has anybody experienced this bug?

Placed .tiff files in illustrator have box around them.

I am wondering how to properly place .tiff files in illustrator, so that they can easily be set up for commercial printing. I have created a simple sell sheet for a product that has 3 placed tiff images in it. The images are circular and appear fine on screen. However, when printed, the images have a slightly darker box around them. The images were created in photoshop, and i'm wondering if i needed to use a clipping mask or perhaps another format for the images to maintain the transparency. Should i rasterize the images, embed, or keep linked? Any help would be great!

I am getting a dark line around psd images (they have clipping paths) which I place into illustrator. Everything looks fine in illustrator, but when I save the AI file with pdf compatibility and open it in photoshop, there is a dark line around the images. My solution was to save the bubble as a tiff file (there is an option to save with transparency), and then place the new file into AI. It seems to work soo-far. After I placed the attachments into this forum, I realized that they are too small to see the black lines around the bubbles.)
See post number 25 for more recent findings...

How do I disable Illustrator (CS6) from recognising TIFF paths inside placed TIFF files?

Hi all,
I have recently output a job to print that was supplied .AI with a simple .TIFF image placed on an artboard at its desired crop.
After referring to the original TIFF file I have realised whilst inside illustrator my image suddenly has a clipping mask attached to it, and a lot of it is missing. (however in outline, illustrator only see's a single TIFF bounding box)
Looking more closely at the TIFF in Photoshop, i've found it has x3 paths inside it!)
Illustrator is picking these up and masking my photo. Is there a default function or process that can stop this from happening in the future, so it ignores any paths within the file?
It's concerning how many jobs may be ruined because of this auto feature.
I look forward to your response
Thanks
Matt

haha, it's not an easy one to describe.
So when checking the TIFF initially, it is a flat locked image: (image below)
when placed into Illustrator CS2 and outputting a PDF, I get this correct result: (image below)
When placed into illustrator CS6 and output to PDF I get this incorrect result: (image below)
Close up detailing masking effect: (image below)
When looking more closely in photoshop at my TIFF, it has this inside of it: (image below)
However, in illustrator there is nothing I can release anywhere as it still treats it as a flat image: (image below)

Error encountered while reading TIFF image, Image may be damaged of incompatible. Resave the image w

I am currently running CS3, windows XP, service pack 2, with recent update, 5.03 installed today.
I just opened a 500 page document not in sections where 90% of the document is a placed PDF.
The PDFS were placed using a sample Script that came with Indesign, that instructs the PDF to automatically flow each page after another.
When scrolling through quickly in the pages pallette, I get the follwing error:-
"Error encountered while reading TIFF image, Image may be damaged of incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again."
I click OK.
Then I get the following error.....
" Could not complete request because of database error. The File "ABC.indd" is damaged (Error Code: 3).
Click OK....
Then I get the following error....
Adobe Indesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart Indesign to recover work in any unsaved Indesign documents.
Then I get the error.......
Indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for any inconveneince.
And I have two buttons to click....
Debug or Close.....
If I click Debug, it closes Indesign.
Within this window there is also a window to gather further information....I click it and it tells me...

"Then it creates an error report and tells me where the report is located along with a scrollable window of 0xc0000005 and heap of zeros."
The report conatains a whole heap of CHECKSUM ERRORS.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??
I had these errors before updating to 5.03 and the patch hasn't rectified anything!!

Open the .inx file in CS3 (that's what you have, right?) and save as a new .indd.
I'd also be tempted to open the tiff in Photoshop and do a save as to re-write it.
Let us know if it helps.
Storing files on the network leaves you more open tot he risk of file damage during transfer and save operations.

Displaying TIFF images in Oracle Forms 6i

Hello, friends!
I am working in Oracle Forms 6.0.8 (that ancient tool) and encounter a problem with displaying TIFF images.
I have a number of scanned images and some of them are displayed and some are not. I've tried both extracting them from the database or from the file system (using READ_IMAGE_FILE). Sometimes I am getting just blank field in my image item and sometimes (after using READ_IMAGE_FILE) I get the error FRM-47100 (cannot read image file). Of course I've checked that all the files are displayed using standard tools for displaying TIFFs.
Basically the question is what kind of TIFF is considered valid and readable by Oracle Forms.
Analyzing TIFF tags actually gave me nothing: I have a pair of files with tags different only in image width/length and a number of rows/strip (but even those values are close), and one of the file is displayed correctly while the other is not. The thing I noticed is that invalid files are using compression type of CCITT Group 4.
Possibly Oracle Forms follows TIFF specification only to certain extent and does not support all the extensions, while sometimes the problems are not visible to user.
As a result of my work I need some automatic tool that converts undisplayable TIFF files to displayable ones but firstly I am to determine where the problem is. And it would be very good to have a prooflink that approves my decision.
Looking forward to any help! Thanks in advance.

Thanks to everybody, but I'm afraid my files don't contain any EXIF tags (although TIFF seems to support them). The file doesn't contain any tags with IDs greater than 0x7FFF but only core TIFF tags (with IDs of lower numbers). Moreover I have a file with exactly the same set of tags (but the values are a bit different) which is displayed properly.
I've shared the issued file (nondisplayable) on the following link: [https://rapidshare.com/files/3137807470/2.tif]
If anyone could tell me why isn't it displayed in Forms I would be very grateful.

Placing an image in Indesign CS5- Previews are slow

I have a customer with identical intel MacPros, 10.5.8 OSX, 8GB RAM and running CS5.
Whenever they go to PLACE an image in either InDesign or Illustrator the preview window that comes up takes up to 65 seconds for a preview to appear in the window. These are images(TIFFs or EPS) that are over 200MB.
What I've done so far:
Timed image preview when placing an image from server or off of desktop- No speed difference in showing the preview.
Took my MacBook Pro and tried to place the images- Immediate preview, no matter the size of the image. Desktop and over the network.
Started their MacPros up in target disk mode- Launched InDesign from their computer- No problem.
Started my MacBook Pro in target disk mode- Launched InDesign from my computer- Same speed issues with preview appearing when placing an image.
Replaced their current video cards with accelerated high end graphic cards. - No performance increase. When previewing a placed image, still very slow.
None of my other customers have this issue. Any clues????

There have been sporadic reports that changing the preference for live screen drawing to delayed from immediate has helped other issues such as this.
Try that first and let us know if it corrects the problem.

Tiff images not display properly

After installing iPhoto 6, none of the 1600 files in .tiff format imported via a Lexmark scanner are showing up correctly. (They worked perfectly well in iPhoto 5)
I get a blurred scribbled squashed image a little like a TV channel that hasn't been set correctly.
If I go back and click on the files in the Finder, they open beautifully in Preview.
This lead me to believe there was an issue with the tiff-format and I promptly converted a copy of the files to jpegs.
Unfortunately this left me with a new problem as three white lines now appear thru all the pictures in jpeg format.
Luckily I never deleted or moved the .tiff files, so I am still hoping to use those.
Will there be an Apple update which fixes this or will I have to re-scan and date/title- another (sigh) 1600 pictures? (please, someone tell me no)
Best wishes,
N

I think I found the fix.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I have also been having trouble with TIFF images and iPhoto 6.
Today I downloaded the new iPhoto 6.01 update. But, that didn't fix the problem either. So much for Apple fixing it.
Anyway, I have been experimenting, and finally found a difference between images that worked and those that didn't.
The images that worked, have an ICC profile embedded in them from the device that created the image (in my case my scanner).
So, I set out to find out if simply removing the ICC profile would fix the problem.
And, through my experimenting, I found that if I opened the image in another program, and then exported it as either a TIFF (the same format) or a JPEG that the resulting image would open in iPhoto 6 just fine.
Further examination demonstrated that the ICC information was removed from the exported file.
As I understand it, ICC is basically an image color correction / calibration tag. It enables different devices to properly display and print the image with the proper colors.
Basically, each device has a color profile (scanner, monitor, printer, camera, etc.). This is to make sure that when you see something on the screen that it looks the same as when you print it out. Likewise, you want the image on the screen to match what the scanner and digital camera saw.
So, these are essentially conversion tables to make sure that each device properly displays or prints the image as the original source "saw" it.
Anyway, not wanting to manually strip this information from each file, I looked on the Internet for an automated solution. And, fortunately I found one.
http://www.colormanagement.com/technicalresources/files_targets_and_utilities/mac_os_xscripts/
The file you are looking for is "Mac Os X ColorSync Toolbar Script: Remove ICC profile". Click on the title just mentioned to download the script.
It is a Macintosh Script that you simply download to your desktop (or anywhere else you would prefer). It is in a Stuffit Archive, so you'll need Stuffit Expander to decompress it (basically the Mac equivalent of a ZIP file).
Once decompressed, you should see a "script" icon that is labeled "Remove Profile".
Simply "drag" your original files and drop them onto this icon / script. The script will then remove the embedded ICC information from the image file.
Once you have removed the ICC information from your image's file, try importing it into iPhoto 6 again. Then, see if it works
It is important that you perform this on a backup / duplicate copy of your original files. You don't want to damage your only copy if something goes wrong.
Now, one further note: If you do this, you may see the image looks different. In my case, the image is truer to the way it really looked when I scanned it in. The paper texture looks right now.
If you want to do this while keeping the image's appearance the same as it looks now, then here's another way:
Open the file in Apple's "Preview" program. This is usually the default image view.
Then, do a "Save As" or "Export" to create a new copy of the image. If you perform an Export, be sure to set the image quality high or you may inadvertently reduce your pictures detail (especially if you export to JPEG).
This essentially does the same thing. But, it will take more work if you have multiple images.
Using the previously mentioned script, you should be able to drag and drop multiple files in a group.
Anyway, I hope this helps the rest of you out.
Let me know if it fixes the problem for you as well.

Blurry Tiff images

Hi,
As a new Motion user I'm having some issues with my first project. I've used After Effects since version 2-3 so I know my way around similar apps.
I've imported an uncompressed movie from FCP5.0.4 and I need to overlay a series of 6 images starting every 60 seconds with each image staying visible for 5 seconds. All sounds easy and is pretty easy except the tiff images are not sharp.
Each original tiff has a 1 pixel white border which turns to a 2-3pixel blurred grey border when I bring them into Motion 2.0.1 If I open them in the viewer or Quicktime they are perfectly sharp. I've turned off field rendering, have full resolution on etc. But just can't get the images as sharp as they should be.
The underlying movie is perfect though. Any help would be most appreciated.
Matt

Check the center position. If you just dropped it in place, you may be between pixels. Your TIFFs will be rasterized in Motion using a completely different function than AE uses. And you really should try to output to your target media and evaluate the movie carefully there. You may just be seeing artifacts created by your graphics card.
Wish I had a definite answer for you, hopefully one of the wonks will drop by within a few hours. Hope you get it fixed, Motion is really confusing for AE users.

How to import and anlyze TIFF images in Lab View 7

Is there any way to read images from a CCD camera in TIFF format with Lab View 7.0 for a subsequent intensity analysis? I would like to import the TIFF image and have it converted in an array of numbers...
Thanks
Kla

Image Toolbox (http://www.geocities.com/gzou999/imgtool.htm) can read tiff files, and return image data for display in picture control.

Tiff images I used in trial version are now blurry in full version of InDesign CS5.5

I placed two tiff images (visual poems I made) into a file (a manuscript) using a trial version of InDesign CS5.5, and they appeared clear and crisp. Then I bought the full version of InDesign (the Education product as part of Adobe Creative Suite), opened the file, and the two tiff images are completely blurry!
When I open the tiffs in photoshop and view them as "actual pixels," they are clear and crisp. The resolution is 300. For one image I tried making it a lower resolution, and that didn't help.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, I just unchecked the Object Level Display and nothing happened.
Nothing has changed with the images at all. The only thing that is different is that I created the manuscript in a trial version of the software. Maybe it was an earlier version than the software I purchased? Would that have an effect on the images? I didn't purchase the software directly from the trial version I used. What happened is that the trial version expired. Then a month later or so I bought a new laptop, bought the Creative Suite (Education version, so much cheaper than normal), and then installed the software on the laptop. Then I opened my manuscript using the new software, the CS5.5, and everything was fine except for the images being blurry.
Is it possible I used a trial version in CS5.0 and then bought CS5.5 and that has something to do with it?
Thanks for all of your help!!
I just realized I wasn't logged in & that's why I couldn't reply.

Color Handling when saving Word document as PDF, containing CMYK TIFF image?

What is the proper procedure for creating PDFs from Word documents that contain a CMYK TIFF image? I have created a company logo by exporting an AI file with Pantone colors as a TIFF (with a CMYK color profile, since there is the intention of printing). Since it is a logo, color consistency is important and the utmost priority. I will be needing to insert this file into a Word document that will then be converted into a PDF.
I've read somewhere that Word automatically converts images to RGB, and also have come across potential problems of colors being changed in the final PDF through unmanaged color handling and conversions. I figured instead of running around in circles trying to find the best solution, I'd post on here. Is this procedure possible? What is the best way to do this without changing my original color profile or CMYK values of the logo being used?
This PDF has the intention of being placed online for offices to print/publish.
Thanks!

Though actually, let's take a step back -- why do you want to use CMYK? Most offices won't be using PostScript printers, so the CMYK will be converted to RGB for printing. For publishing - do you know the required CMYK profile to use for all possible publishing scenarios? Properly tagged RGB is generally considered the way to deal with this in modern workflows not targeted at a specific press. But still probably not with Word!
