Printing Tiff File Format

Is there anyway to print the tiff file present in the server on the client side?
1.tiff file cannot be displyed on the browser ,so i cannot use javascript's [window.print() command].
2.If i am using JAI jar then that works only on the server side{i.e when the clent cliks the print button the print dialog displays on the server side]
3.If i will download the tiff file into local then client has to manualy go to that physical path where that tiff file was saved and print it.but requirement is to print from the front end.
4.If i will use applet then how will i pass that tiff file name from the html.
because if i use
<PARAM NAME="imageName" VALUE="C:\\amarshi\\TIFF.tif">
then the the value of imageName in the Applet class (using get{Parameter("imagename") comes as null.
but if i use jpg,png or gif format then the value is not null.
5.I also tried with JFrame ,but that also works on the server side only.
plz suggest me ..its very very urgent .
Thanks
Amarshi

I had searched in goolge ,but there are some tools which support either IE
or mozilla .I didnt found any tool supporting both the browser.
Morever if i will use thesr tools ,then whenever the user will try to print then they hav to install atleast one the tool.
the client wants to do this either using tools that will be uiinstalled inside the exe while release or do from coding side.
They dont want that the user will have to install the tool to view the .tiff file for printing.
And whatever jars i am using in the java side they work only on the server side??

Question about TIFF file format

None of the forums seems to be right for my question, this one seems the best suited...
Why does Mac still use the TIFF file format for things like Grab, etc.? JPG is a more commonly used format, but I do understand why the TIFF file format is better from a quality perspective.
I'm just curious at my end, that's all. I don't mind using TIFF.

But, if I understand things correctly, if you now select a JPG of zero compression, it's evolved into a potentially lossless file.
Close, but not quite. If you start with a TIFF and save it as a maximum quality JPEG (level 12), then lay one on top of the other in Photoshop and zoom way in, you can find a fair amount of pixels that have changed values. Not anywhere near enough to notice any difference in a printout or visual color. They still do take up less space than the original TIFF.
Of course, if you'd rather the image didn't change one iota and still save space, then save the TIFF with LZW compression.

Need help printing tiff files

I have written some code that prints any file that can be opened using JAI and the ImageIO Tools. The code works good for me but I have some special cases where I am having some difficulty. Some files I need to print are TIFF files with many pages. Some are compressed using Fax Group 4 encoding and others are compressed using OLD jpeg-in-tiff. I can read and print the files just fine, but it takes about 2 seconds to print each page. Also the spooling data for 88 pages is 900 MB in size. Printing the same files using IrfanView takes <1 seconds and the spool file is much smaller (equivalent to the size of the uncompressed tiff) The speed and size issues are problems for me because I am working on a print web service. My code to render each page is below. So far I have tried rendering hints and such to increase speed, but I think the problem is that when I read the image it takes up a lot of space in memory.
Here is the overall requirements for what I am doing: A use will request that the server print a set of files (mixed image formats, restricted to TIFF, JPEG, and GIF) be printed to specific printer as a single print job. They can specify copies and collation only. The service will open each file in order and send its data to the printer. I have created a custom class that implements the Printable interface to handle the multiple files. The class below is created for each file and handles the printing of the image file.
I am using JDK 1.4.2 and WebSphere. I am stuck with these options b/c I have to use some IBM API's (IBM Content Manager 8.3) that are not compatible with 1.5 or higher.
Is there any way to speed up my code. Possibly load the image differently?

I found a couple of issues. One was related to code the other to IBM. AS for the code I found an article about drawing scaled images here: http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/04/03/perils-of-image-getscaledinstance.html which was quite useful. My updated code is below. The second issues is that the JRE I am using is the IBM Websphere 5.1 JRE which pretty much sicks. I tested using a Sun statndard 1.4.2 JRE and the print was 5 times faster. Now I am looking to find a way around that issue, but it is not a questions for this form.

Printing TIFF files hangs the system, is there a workaround?

When printing large tiff files (e.g., exported layout images from CAD) the system becomes unresponsive and it takes time to print. Even after the image is printed, the system works very slowly.
It seems to be a bug, or is there any workaround to prevent the system to hang?
Thank you, Jan

There are two similar bugs:
The LPC+crop bug started with ACR 6.1 and was fixed in 8.2.
The LPC mystery bug started with ACR 7.3 and was fixed in 8.6.
Both bugs cause repeated thumbnail extractions in Bridge on some images with Lens Profile Corrections enabled.
As you are on ACR 6.7 it can only be the first bug. The only workaround I know is to ensure that the crop does not touch the edge of the corrected image. A few pixels gap will do it. Also, it helps to keep less images in a folder--but this can't be avoided when using Collections or Finds.
I'd imagine that Adobe won't fix CS5 just for this. Presumably there's something in the smallprint which admonishes them from responsibility after the shelf life of the product ends. To be fair, it's not like they fixed it straight away in CS6, unlike the Bridge CS5 database bug (thanks, Adobe). They were only able to reproduce the fault in summer 2013.

How can I print File Format definitions?

We have multiple text and spreadsheet input files we use to load data to our DW. Is there a way I can print the format definitions for the the text and spreadsheet files?
I've used the Auto documentation feature for work flows and data flows, but don't see an option for the print the File Formats (very well could be user error!).
Thanks for any insight...
Dan

You can view the file format in the Auto Documentation page but don't see a button to print it out. Is this what you are looking for? ...
May print the web page in browser

No option in adobe reader 9.2 when opening a pdf file to "save as" a tiff file

Hi, I want to save a pdf file as a tiff file. I have Adobe Reader 9.2 and windows xp. In the Adobe website, it says I can export or convert a pdf file into different formats. However, when opening an existing pdf file, there isn't an option to export or "save as" in the Tools menu or in the Preferences under Edit. The reason I want to save a pdf file into a tiff file format is because when I use the program Microsoft Office Document Imaging to open a tiff file, it allows me the option to move selected pages & save it as a new file. In a pdf file, I have to save all the pages as one file & I don't necessarily want all the pages. My only other option is to print the selected pages I want from the adobe file document and then scan it into a tiff file but I would hate to use paper just for that purpose.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

You can use a tiff printer driver:

I can not make 16bit tiff file out

Hello. This is kamecame from japan.
I am seeing this US board because Japanese discussion board is not active.
I have a queation about shake.
I hope to convert Quick Time（motion jpg）to Tiff file format（16bit LZW）.
I made a success of 8bit Tiff file only.（LZW）
I checked Globals and file out parameters in the shake`s interface.
Would you teach me about this question?
I am not good at English writing and I am sorry.
Best regards.

TIFF file from PSD

Does saving a PSD file to a TIFF file format destroy or otherwise do anything to the pixels and/or quality of the file? I'm asking because I user Silverfast to scan in to PS CS5 Extended and when I saved each scan I did so as a PSD thinking it is the best option. But now the issue is that I can't edit the PSD file with Camera Raw which seems to have much better global options to fix image issues.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

ACR purportedly has the correct "workflow" (not quite, but certainly better than PS). Another advantage of ACR is that it won't modify the original, so that is kind of good too.
LOL, define "correct 'workflow'". It's impossible. Anyone claiming to have a "correct" workflow is deluding themselves and possibly others. It's even quite possible to challenge the term "better".
There are people teaching that doing image editing actually IN Photoshop is somehow "bad". Keep in mind they make money by teaching, not by getting results with Photoshop.
And your statement that ACR "won't modify the original" is literally true because ACR isn't an editor in itself and does not have a "Save As" capability. However, if you open a TIFF file with it into Photoshop, then do File-Save you WILL overwrite the original.
My point is this: There's a lot of "accepted dogma" in the Photoshop realm that sounds really right. Just be wary of it, and try to understand what it really means in your own context, because it simply isn't always right. There is no "right". There's too much art involved to even define "right"
Most things you can do in Camera Raw you can do in Photoshop proper. I agree that Camera Raw does give you different ways to do things, which may well be more understandable.

I cannot print .jpg files created in PS or Painter 11 on my Canon Pixma MP500 Printer?

Using SnowLeopaard on my iMac, I cannot print .jpg files created in PS or Corel Painter 11 on my Canon Pixma MP 500. No file is sent to the print que. My iMac prints well with Word, TextEdit, etc. AppleCare says the problem is with the printer even though there was no problem printing with previous Apple OSX.

Do You use the latest version of the Printer Driver?
And as You specifically mention jpg, I wonder: Are You able to print other file formats?
If all else fails You could try saving pdfs and printing from Acrobat.

Same logo printing different colors for different file formats?

I created a logo for a client who will be using it for some printed materials. I provided the logo in 3 different file formats: EPS, JPEG and Tiff.
In INDesign and MS Word, the logo is printing a different color for the EPS vs the Jpeg/Tiff file types. Is there something I'm missing?
I've even tried changing the color to something completely different and we are getting the same result. There is STiLL a considerable difference between the Eps file and the other two files.

No the logo was created for print and I originally had used a pantone color but converted to CMYK. The actual value is C69 M7 Y0 K0. When my client inserts the eps file into her InDesign layout, it prints a bright aqua color and if she uses either the jpeg or tiff, it is a much different blue. We've tried other colors because I was thinking it might just be the fact that it's a blue color... but the same thing happens to other colors. I am wondering if there is some sort of color management setting that is causing the eps to be different?

File format for professional printing

(In case it's relevant I'm using CS2, but I think it probably doesn't matter.)
I have some logos that I'm publishing for people to use for a variety of purposes. I want to keep the number of file formats to as few as reasonably possible in order not to confuse everyone. My question is, what vector-based format should I use for professional printers?
I originally assumed that .ai would be too narrowly supported (for instance, I'm advised that Quark can't read .ai files) so I opted for .eps, thinking that this would be recognised by virtually every graphics program. However, I've since discovered that eps doesn't handle a critical graphical element as I'd thought it would:
For the sake of simplicity (rather than getting too involved in the actual logo design), imagine a white circle with a standard drop shadow outside it fading smoothly away the further you get from the circle's edge. This is supposed to sit on any coloured background, with the parts of the shadow gradient that aren't grey (if that makes sense) being transparent. The trouble is that, apparently, in Quark (and maybe other programs for all I know), this shaded area comes out with a white background. I've mocked up an approximate comparison - attached - of how it ought to look and how it actually comes out.
The upshot of all that is that, as far as I can tell, eps is not the right format. So I come back to my request: can anyone recommend a file format which Illustrator can produce that is:
- vector-based
- compatible with all common graphics programs
- able to handle faded drop shadows correctly?
Thanks,
Giles.

CMYK is always preferred, as there's no such thing as a printer that uses RGB inks. Switching color spaces can end badly.
Agreed for printing CMYK is preferred but, i gather that there are some digital printers that prefer RGB files... hence my caveat.
however rips with color precise elements that can hit things like PMS colors require vector art with embedded swatches.
Whatever the method, if you have a tiff file, you're safe. But, it's not flexible except for downscaling.
A pdf is generally preferred, as even if the sender forgets to convert the fonts, you can always open the file in Photoshop and have the file be read accurately.
Forget to convert fonts? In a tiff? What are you talking about?

Correct Image File Format For Magazine Printing

I am using InDesign CS4 and I would like to know if it's ok to use JPG or JPEG images for printing magazines ? If not, can you please tell me the correct image file format I should use with InDesign for designing and printing a magazine ? Also what would be the best way to convert the image files from JPEG to that correct image file format ?

Use what ever format you like, I perfer .tiff with LSW compression or .eps. If you don't know what you are doing just include the original image when you send you project to the printer and link the image in InDesign don't embedded it. When you furnish the original image the prepress department can set it up correctly.
I perfer 300 dpi with image is at 100% of the final size, if the image is printing 150 line screen when printed. 200 dpi is ok for 133 line screen. I would even perfer a 100 dpi image over a .jpg image that has be over compressed.

External Editors file format- choose more than one:i.e. either tiff or psd

External Editors file format- would like to be able to choose more than one OR I'd like to be able to easily change between opening a file in an external editor in either psd format or tiff. i.e. PSDs to photoshop, or TIFFs to one or more other editors like Topaz Labs, FX Photo Studio Pro or Snapseed.
While when editing in PhotoShop, one would like to edit in psd format, other plug-ins will not take a psd format, they need tiff. There is only one choice for external editor in Aperture. is it possible to set up a work around for this?
This issue is also discussed on http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2012/1/25/using-3rd-party-apps-with-aperture. html

Here's my thoughts...
1. You are a bit confused and I wonder how you can determine a file is a PSD or a TIF by looking at it? Not all print drivers can recognize PSD's, but can recognize TIF ( this means almost all output devices can interpret TIF's no problem ). That said, PSD's can manage layers better than TIF's which add to file size each layer you include in the TIF.
2. Never say never. This all depends on the file's use. Layered TIFs can add complexity in which a print driver can or cannot deal with. As you work on an image, you may want to merge layers for whatever reason(s) and you always have the option to flatten whenever you feel like it. However, It is also a good idea to dupe the file as you move along. That means you always have a layered version to fall back on should you need to edit later on. I also Place transparent PSDs in Illustrator files with no problems. But, I save as EPS in Illustrator and when I do that, then the file is automatically flattened. This is perhaps what the internet was talking about.
3. Yes, see number 2 above. There's no such thing as automatic flattening of TIFFs. Again, this all depends on the printer and whether or not it can print while retaining original layers. Some do, some don't. Most of the time, I edit in PSD with layers intact. Then, when I prep the file for printing, I will save a copy as a flattened TIFF so the file streamlines through the RIP and Print process.
4. Makes no difference. Use 'em if you've got 'em.
Try to get some good resource material at a library or college bookstore or barnes & noble. Also, get Adobe's Print Publishing Guide. This is a good reference guide.

Print tiff format

Hi guys,
I'm trying to print a tiff format image, I can print gif formats, but if the image is tiff, it doesnt print, on my researchs I saw that is not so simple as I'd like it to be, so if anyone here has done it before, print tiff images, pls send me directions.
tks

You need to make a Feature Request here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
This is a User forum and request here are lost.

I would really like to see the ability in the Print to File option in the Print Module to print to a TIFF file, not just jpeg. I deal with print shops that accept 16bit files in both ProPhoto and Adobe RGB formats. Would save time instead of having to create file in PS.
Thanks.
