Opening TIFF in PS vs ACR

I just had a job printed for me on a large format printer. I sent tiff's that had been opened in ACR for a last minute check for noise and sharpening. No file needed attention so I exited.
At the agency, we opened each file to examine it. All except one opened in PS, the exception opened in ACR which the operator, after asking a couple of questions, went on to open it in PS. However, a problem occurred at that point. My files were set at 360 dpi. His ACR was set to open in PS at 240 DPI. It wasn't until I got the prints to my client that I realized one of them was grossly over sized. In the ensuing discussion with the print maker, with both of us scratching our heads as to who did what, remembered that one file opened in ACR. Sure enough, when we checked the oversized file it was 240 dpi and the rest 360.
From now on, I am going to supply finals in .psd, to avoid such occurrences. But then again, why only one opening in ACR? On my computer, the files are starred and would open in ACR. Had all of them opened at his site, I would have flagged it. Preferences on his computer do not have jpeg or tiff checked to open in ACR.
He runs Mac, I'm PC.
I ask this because there are times I would use a vendor in another state, and what these folks do is print WYSIWYG, from the file submission. In this case a 20x30 printed 30x45.

I don't know, either I'm not understanding the problem or else I'm not technical enough to realize what is going on. Here is what I did:
Opened a tiff image in Camera Raw and significantly cropped it. Clicked Done.
Right clicked on the image in Bridge and chose to open it in Photoshop.
On my computer it still opened in Camera Raw because I have chosen to prefer Camera Raw for JPEG and tiff images.
Closed Camera Raw without making any additional changes, the image is still cropped.
Did a shift/double click to open the image. This time it opened directly into Photoshop, bypassed Camera Raw, and it was still the cropped image.
However, the thumbnail image in Bridge never did reflect the crop that I made. The preview window showed the cropped image, but the thumbnail never did change. This just seems to be an ongoing anomaly that I haven't figured out.
Like I said, I have chosen the options to prefer Camera Raw for JPEG and tiff images. But everything seems to be working the way I expect it to work.

  • Having Trouble Opening TIFF Files

    I'm having trouble opening TIFF files into Camera Raw. I have checked all my settings in Adobe Bridge and everything seems to be saying that TIFF files should open in Camera Raw when I click on then int and then into photoshop when finished editing in camera raw.
    I'm trying to open 32 bit HDR images saved as a TIFF file into Camera Raw, and there seems to be nothing I can do to get them there. I have tried everything I can think of. When I right click on it (cmd click I'm on a mac) the option to open in camera Raw isn't there. I have tried clicking and dragging the image into Photoshop to try and force it maybe to open into Camera Raw, and I have opened photoshop and tried opeing it up from mini Bridge. In mini bridge I have the option to open the image into Camera Raw when I click this nothing happens.
    I'm not sure what else to try I'm on CS6 and Camera Raw 7.0 .

    Alright I'll try that thanks!

    It might be that you need to update camera raw to version 8.3 by going to Help>Updates from within photoshop or bridge.
    (i don't remember exactly in which version of acr that was added, but probably after version 7.0)

  • Opening tiff photos in Adobe Camera Raw

    I can not open my tiff files / photos in Adobe Camera Raw.  I am using CS6 that has been completely updated with all the current updates. I go to Bridge, highlight a tiff thumbnail photo and go up the file drop down menu.  The open in raw selection is grayed out and I can not select it.  It works fine with jpeg files, and I can open raw files without problems.  It just won't work with tiff files. I have gone to preferences and selected the option to open all supported tiff flles but this did not work either.
    I have uninstalled Photoshop and Bridge and reinstalled it and updated it all again and it still will not let me open tiff files in Camera Raw.
    Any ideas?

    I am more apt to beleive the issue is with the tif files themselves. Not all tif files are equal. It depends on the compression, bit mode and so forth. Can the tiff files be opened in photoshop? if so, then that just maybe the problem. if not, then the file itself maybe corrupt. But I am leaning towards the settings used when saving the file.

  • Open as "Smart Object" from ACR to PS questions.

    I have 2 questions associated with opening from ACR as a Smart Object in Photoshop. I'm using CS4.
    1. Is there a way to retrieve the original filename (complete with path) using a script or a setting somewhere to do this? I'm currently using Bridge Talk to ask Bridge what the active folder is then adding that to the document's .name property and taking off the " as Smart Object-1" part. Then I add a .psd extension to it and then I have to save it to retain that name unless there's an answer to #2 below.
    2. Is there a way to change the Document's name as described above from "Filename as Smart Object-1" to "Filename.psd" without actually saving it?
    It seems to me there would be a simple way that I might be overlooking here.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Sorry, I guess I need to explain better.
    I wrote a script to do this, but here is this portion of the workflow:
    1. Open CR2 file in ACR and make adjustments.
    2. Open as Smart Object in PS.
    3. Script Events Manager activates this script on Document Open, checks to see if it was opened as a Smart Object. We'll assume it did.
    4. The script asks me if I want to make another layer. I pick yes. The script copies the SO layer, sets an inverted mask, and opens to edit settings in ACR again.
    5. I adjust the settings for that layer in ACR and click OK.
    The script will keep looping between 4 and 5 as long as I pick YES.
    This gives me more local control of areas. If I want to bring out eyes a bit, I can up contrast, saturation, sharpness, brightness, exposure, or whatever looks best for the eyes in ACR, then unmask the eyes as much as I want on that layer in Photoshop. There is more data to pull from in the RAW file vs trying to do the same thing within Photoshop.
    Opening as a regular image file then converting to a SO doesn't give me the same control. I would have to reopen the file separately, make the adjustments in ACR, open to PS then copy that document and paste as a new layer in the original.
    Duplicating the document might work also, but I can also just save as .psd at that point since I'd have to know the path name by then anyway. I'll give that a try, though, and see if it might work better. The only catch with the save part is it slows me down waiting for it to write the file and if I have 5+ SO layers, it takes awhile. Once I unmask where I want, I flatten to a rasterized layer and continue.
    Thanks

  • How do I open muliple raw files in ACR hosted by Photoshop?

    Hi,
    This one is annoying the hell out of me.  I used to highlight multiple raw files in Bridge and just press Enter (being the equivalent to File -> Open) and the images would all open together in one ACR interface with the filmstrip down the side.  Now, however, one file opens and if I hit cancel or done, the second image THEN opens, and so on and so forth.  If instead of pressing Enter I choose File -> Open in Camera Raw or I right-click and Open in Camera Raw, it works fine and does what I want (or if I click the aperture symbol on the toolbar at the top).  It's a minor annoyance I suppose but and annoyance nonetheless. 
    The worst part is that it worked fine until I uninstalled CS5.1.  I had CS5.1 no problem, then installed CS6/CC alongside it.  I got eveything working how I wanted in CS6/CC and then uninstalled CS5.1.  I may be wrong on the exact timing of the problem and therefore it may be a Red Herring, but it seems fairly close together when this started.
    Notes:  There is no expansion bar on the left of ACR that is just hiding the filmstrip.  Which is consistant with the fact that the second image does in fact open after I close the first.  So they are clearly being treated as seperate open actions.  Also, in Bridge, Edit -> Preferences -> General: 'Double-click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge', ticked or unticked makes no difference.  Also in Photoshop, Edit - Preferences -> File Handling: 'Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for Supported Raw Files', ticked or unticked makes no difference.
    I have also tried changing the above mentioned options, closing PS and Bridge so the preferences file is updates, changing them back to how I want and closing so the preferences file is updated and I get the same results.
    I hope I've made it clear what the issue is, and any help would be much appreciated for what may seem a minor thing.
    Cheers

    I don't have CC just CS6.  In Photoshop if I use open and select multiple raw file and click open Raw file open one at a time in ACR. One after the other.  If I use Adobe Bridge and select mutiple raw files and open with the default application ACR open with all raw file or double click. It also opens like that from CS6 mini brdge.  In any case the bridge must be running.

  • Lightroom won't open TIFF or JPEG files to CS5

    Recently upgraded to a new iMac. This morning when I tried to open a TIFF file from Lightroom 3.4.1 into Photoshop CS5 I got a message saying: Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at /Volumes/Drobo1/Photos/2011/02-14-2011 Yellowstone/Yellowstone-0641-Edit.tif for editing.
    It will not be opened.
    The only way Lightroom will open a TIFF or JPEG image to CS5 is if I tell it to open a copy of the image with Lightroom Adjustments. If I say I want to edit the original or a copy, it won't do it.
    If I go into CS5 and open the TIFF there, it works fine, so the problem doesn't seem to be with CS5.
    Lightroom WILL open RAW files into CS5 without any error message.
    I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, which was upgraded yesterday and am wondering if that's the problem since I could open TIFFs on the new computer before.
    Phil

    Do you have full permissions to the DROBO folder the files are in?  I'm a Windows person so I can't tell you how to check this, but upgrading a OS and then things not working might be related to permissions where the files were created with a profile on the previous OS.

  • No longer capable of opening TIFF or JPEG in Camera Raw

    Hi,
    I was able, initially, to open TIFF, JPEG and even PSD files in Camera Raw , but today I installed an HP image application that came with my iPAQ and have found that I no longer can open these files with Camera Raw from Bridge (or from anywhere else for that matter).
    what can I do to restore the previous behavior?
    I am doing this now to see: open Control Panel and click on Photoshop CS3 and select reinstall. I don't know if this will work. Any ideas?

    I think this is a problem caused by memory fragmentation during the use of Bridge and Photoshop. I find that right after I start the two programs everything works the way it should. But then things gradually start to bog down, and eventually the TIF or JPEG images will not open in Camera Raw. When this happens I generally turn to the "Open As" option in Photoshop knowing that things will be better tomorrow. And they usually are. I think this is probably a problem that is more common with Windows users than those who are using a Mac. I believe Adobe concentrated more on the recoding for the Mac than they did on verifying everything for Windows users. Apparently "real" Photoshop users only work on a Mac. Those of us who are on Windows are just wannabes. :)

  • Can't open Tiff in Camera Raw CC

    I have checked the Camera Raw preferences to open jpgs and tiffs in Camera Raw.  I have the Bride CC preferences set to Bridge CC for jpgs and tiffs.
    I c n open jpgs in Camera Raw, but I can't open tiffs in Camera Raw.  I must be doing something wrong. 
    The settings for jpgs and tiffs in Windows file association are identical.
    The settings for jpgs and tiffs in Bridge preferences are identical.
    Yet, I can open jpgs in Camera Raw, and I can't open tiffs in Camera Raw.
    Any suggestions?
    Lynnea

    Can you, from within Photoshop, choose File - Open As, then choose the TIFF file, and set the selector over on the right to Camera Raw?
    I know that you'd really like to set up to open them automatically through Camera Raw, but this could serve as a workaround.

  • Bridge opens file in Camera Raw 7.0.  How can I open new version/beta of ACR?

    Just installed CS6 beta and when trying to open files from Bridge into ACR, I am taken to Camera Raw 7.0.  Afraid to uninstall all CS5 files until full version of CS6 is released.  Help?

    Huh… The controls are the same as the version used in CS5.  According to the video about the Beta release of CS6, it should be different.   Here is a sreen shot of the control panel I'm seeing when I click "Open in Camera Raw" via Bridge CS6
    ***Also, just tried to save my first file and it won't save as a jpeg.  I click jpeg as file type, but it is saving as a DCM.  Missing something?  Tried to manually type in '.jpg' after file name and still tried to save as DCM.
    Thanks!

  • Opening JPG from Bridge via ACR in PS causes ACR to run twice.

    Using PSCS3 and Bridge CS3, with both set to prefer ACR when opening JPG files. Sometimes when opening a file from within Bridge with PSCS3, ACR runs twice. The image can be opened in PS and then ACR opens again with another copy of the JPG. Cancelling the ACR window closes it.
    Anyone else get ACR running twice on the one JPG?
    Thanks.

    The most common reason for patch to fail is the absence of folder "AdobePatchFiles" folder or it's content from location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe\AdobePatchFiles" and it's counterpart location in Mac.
    If this folder or its contents are missing then the patch cannot be applied , the only way to resolve this is to Reinstall the product and then apply patch again.
    Now there can be two cases :
    1) Was this folder removed manually or some other action caused this removal of folder( May be some script or Defragmentation or anything). In this case please reinstall product and apply patch again.
    2) If the folder and its contents are intact but still patcher failed, then please follow the following steps:
         a) Create ribs3debug file without any extension inside %temp% directory of your system
         b) Run Patcher again
         c) If it fails , send the log files that are generated inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
    Hope it clears some of the facts around failure. If there are any underlying issues then we all hope to resolve them as soon as we have more information.

  • Opening TIFF files from Safari mail

    I have a Mini.mac using OS X 10.3.9 and am unable to open TIFF files. I am particularly interested in opening TIFF attachments from my E-mails. I have downloaded Graphic Converter but can't get it to do the job, neither will Preview. Can anyone please tell me whether there is an easy way to make my machine open TIFF files? And if so, a simple explanation (because I'm a simple man) of how to do it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Opening tiff documents

    How do I open TIFF documents with my iMac?

    Right-click on a file you do not currently use offers Open with... option, and a list of possible applications to use. Sometimes, the list may include wrong solutions, but the first one(s) is / are usually the good one.
    tiff files are professional files, you may export them to files, which take less space on your disc, e.g. jpg, jpg 2000 or PNG.

  • Will Adobe X open TIFF files by default.

    Can Adobe X be set as default to open tiff files on Win 7 computer. .  If so .. how?

    What is "Adobe X"? Do you mean Adobe Acrobat X, or Adobe Reader X? Either
    way, they can't open TIFF files directly. Acrobat can convert Tiff files to
    PDF files and then show them, and Reader can't do anything with them at all.

  • Not enough memory (RAM) error. Can't open TIFF file.

    I can't open a 74MB TIFF file in CS5 photoshop.   I get error message: Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM). 
    I have 16GB of RAM and 55.5 GB of scratch disk.
    I am using my recently installed copy of Photoshop CS5 64bit on a virtual Windows7 machine running in Parallels on a recently bought MacBookPro. This software (now deactivated) has run successfully on an XP machine and has successfully open TIFF files of this sort before.
    I don't know whether this is relevant, but I can't update my copy of photoshop either. It downloads the updates, but will not install them.

    I have discovered that the problem is that the TIFF files I am tying to open are 32 bit files.  There are several references on the Internet to Photoshop not being able to open these files   These are output files produced by the astro-imaging software Deep Sky Stacker.  Within DSS  I can save the 32 bit TIFFs  as 16 bit files which photoshop CS5 can open fine.
    Does anyone know whether Photoshop CS5 can open 32 bit tiff files at all?  Would it help if I could update my version of Photoshop (see update problem above)?

  • Can't open iPhoto 11 images in ACR

    Just switched from iPhoto 9 to 11 and now can't discover how to open images in ACR as the "show file" option has gone by-by in this version.  Is there a way to open up an image in ACR from this version?
    Thanks,
    ed

    Set ACR as the External Editor, while making ure you choose to send Raws to it in the Preferences - in other words, exactly the same way as it worked in every other version.
    The Show File command is now in the  File menu. This is not how you access the images for processing in alternative editors.
