Problems opening a TIF with 14.828x18.446px (26,9MB)

Hi there,
I'm trying to open some TIF-files coming from a GIS.
These files are 14.828x18.446 pixel size with only 26,9MB file size.
The "out of RAM" message pops up.
I'm running PS CS6ext. 64bit on a WIN7prof./64bit system.
RAM-usage set to 80% (=5694MB), about 300GB scratch on disk available.
It's possible to have a previev with windows-explorer.
Any idea what to do to open the files in PS?
Thanks and regards!
Felix

There are 2 issues here that combine to cause them not to open: the way the files were written, and how much memory Photoshop will allocate for decompressing a single image tile.
Image Width: 14101 Image Length: 18206
Resolution: 400, 400
Bits/Sample: 8
Compression Scheme: PackBits encoding
Samples/Pixel: 3
Rows/Strip: 18206
Number of Strips: 1
The images are written as one huge image tile/strip that decompresses to something around a Gig per tile.
Decompressing that quickly is going to require allocating a buffer over a Gigabyte to hold the data. Photoshop sets some limits on how large a tile buffer it will allocate so that you don't wait hours for the OS and Photoshop to free up the required space. Yes, we really had user documents that were spinning for an hour or more trying to allocate the buffer space to decompress them, even on a 64 bit system with quite a bit of RAM - hence the limits. Your documents, written as a single huge tile, exceed the limits that Photoshop will allocate for a single tile.
The TIFF spec recommends that documents be saved in smaller tiles (though one line per tile is excessive). Even moving to a few hundred Meg per tile would allow Photoshop to decompress the image data successfully. Either you should choose different TIFF output options when scanning, or communicate to the makers of the scanner that they should read the TIFF specification and talk to Adobe about improving their TIFF implementation (which would send them back to me).
Also, the images are also written using PackBits (a run length encoding scheme) that is not a great compressor. Using LZW or Flate would have decreased the size of the files considerably (half the size, or better).
For the time being, you can use some of the libTiff command line tools to unpack and repack these files to work better with Photoshop and other applications.

I will try to be clear:
I want to open a file with the class choose and I want also in the same class to load an image with the command ImageIo.read()., to resize it and then to add this image as an icon into the Jpanel.
I don't know why I receive the error in the final part ( LINE 223 and 224 are shown below) of the class choose:
buttonPanel.add(label, BorderLayout.EAST); ---->ERROR !!!!
contentPane.add(label);-------------------------------->ERROR!!!!!
maybe the image is not fully loaded..
I think that davedes has understood my problem but the modify that he proposed doesn't work---> The same error.

Problem opening large .Tif files

Hi...this problem is really frustrating. Preview will not open some large .tif
files (they're saved on Photoshop CS5 on a PC, with lzw compression).
The program just displays a grey screen...no error message.
When I email the images, no preview appears in Mail.
Is this a known problem with Preview in Snow Leopard, and can I do
anything about it?
Any help appreciated....

OK, I can verify that the file doesn't display in Safari or Preview, so it's not just you. From the error messages in the log, it seems that the built-in rendering routines see the file as corrupt. It does display correctly in QuickTime Player 7, GraphicConverter, OpenOffice.org, and LightZone. You'll either have to use another application to view the files, or get the author to save them in a different format. You can also file bug reports with Adobe and Apple, for all the good that will do.

Problem opening pdf files with Adobe Reader in Windows 7

I bought a new Dell (Inspiron 5110) with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium (Version 6.1 SP1, 64 bit) and pre-installed Adobe Reader X (10.1.1). I cannot open ANY of my old pdf files with the Adobe reader (even after I re-installed the Adobe Reader). On another computer with Windows 7 I get the same error message. When I installed several other pdf-readers (Sumatra, Foxit, ..) I can still not open the pdf's -- but all the pdf's still open under Windows XP on my old computer and they also open on all my colleagues' non-Windows 7 computers. So it appears to be a Windows 7 problem. The Adobe error message says 'Adobe Reader could not open _.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (…..).
N.B.: I can download pdf files from the internet and can then open these 'new' pdf files with Adobe Reader X.
N.B.2.: Most of the 'old' pdf files are scientific articles downloaded from various journal websites 2002-2011, so their quality should be out of question.
N.B.3.:I've transfered the files via memory stick and portable HD.
N.B.4.: If I try to open the pdf's via 'Open with' the problem remains the same.
N.B.5.: When, on my Win7 Dell, I've uploaded/attached one of these old pdf files to an email the rtecipient could not tead it. But he could read it when I'd sent the same file from my old Win XP computer.
N.B.6.: I have repeated this last observation: When I upload an old pdf file on my Win7 Dell to my email account and then send it to myself, I cannot open/read it on my Win XP (nor on the Dell, of course). Although the file size is precisely the same.
N.B.7.: When I download a new pdf on my Dell, then upload/attach it to an email also on the Dell and send it to myself, I can download and read the attached pdf on both computers.
Would be grateful for any suggestions.

This is really strange.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I can understand, any PDF which is launched on your Win 7 OS fails to open, even though the same file works perfectly fine on your Win XP machine?
Could you please run a full system anti virus scan on the said PDFs that are present on your local system. It could be a case of infected PDFs.
Also, it would be great if you could try and download some of the erroneous PDFs from the web again, and see if you experience the same behavior.
Thanks

Problem opening pdf's with one user

Hello,
We deployed adobe reader X on a terminal server 2008 with about 10 users, which login directly via an rdp session (no broker).
With one user, we have the problem that when she tries to open a pdf (either directly, in a browser, from outlook, whichever),
then the adobe reader program appears in the taskbar and then the program is gone. We tried the following things
- Kill the adobe reader process
- Repair adobe reader using the software install tool
- Downgrade to adobe reader 9.4.1 by uninstalling X and installing 9.4.1 (a version which is used extensively without problems at another customer)
- Delete the terminal server roaming profile and create a new one in active directory on the domain controller.
Other users have no problem with this and a testuser with the same rights (copy function in AD) does not have this issue.
Every time we apply one of the above solutions, it works for 15 minutes and then we are back to the original symptoms.
The adobe reader process seems to be still active after you close a document and after it stops working.
Does anyone have a clue on how to fix this permanently?

This is a problem (bug) with the built-in PDF Viewer (pdfjs) that currently doesn't handle this link properly.

Problems opening PDFs created with Acrobat in TFS

Hi,
I know this might not really be a supported issue, but any thoughts you might have would be appreciated!
I've been creating PDFs using Primo PDF and a trial of Acrobat X. I then put them on TFS / MS Visual Studio 2000.
So, when I try to open a PDF I've checked in, the ones I've created in Primo are fine and launch whereas the ones created in Acrobat won't open and an error message about Inconsistent Line Endings is displayed.
It says:
"The line endings are not consistent. Do you want to normalize them....
Line ending: Windows (CR LF)"
The PDFs DO work when I open them from the normal place in the windows file system. However, when I try to "normalize" them by clicking yes, it breaks them completely.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? I'm assuming it must be something to do with the conversion or document settings, because this only happens to PDFs created with Acrobat.

In Acrobat X, SharePoint Integration has been added which allows users to check-out/check-in the document from within Acrobat. Clicking the file from document library in Internet Explorer opens the file in Acrobat. The configuration that needs to be done on the SharePoint server is explained in the following KB article in section 11.1.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Enterprise_Administration.pdf
Please try these and let us know if you face any problems after this.

Problem opening pdf documents with reader

We have an hp computer running on windows 8. It came with adobe reader installed which worked fine until about a month ago. Since then when you try to open a pdf document on an online page, a message comes up "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, pleae exit and try again." When you try to open other documents that have been saved to the computer a message comes up Adobe Reader Protected Mode which indicates that Adobe Reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration. It then asks if you want to open reader with protected mode disabled, always open it that way or not open with protected mode disabled. If you choose the open it with protected mode disabled this time, a message comes back indicating Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL.
We've uninstalled reader and downloaded apparently successfully the version for windows 8 several times, but without any success - same messages come up. Sound familiar at all? I don't want to have to pay a computer guy for something that really seems like it should be an easy fix (though I'm not a tech person, so not sure I find too many fixes easy!).
Thanks in advance for whatever anyone can offer.

This may be helpful:

Problem opening PDF files with Preview

Occasionally I get this message when trying to open a PDF file in an email attachment:
"it may be damaged or use a file format that preview doesn't recognise"
However, when I open the same attachment on my iPad, using GoodReader it does open, so the file is not damaged.
The issue seems to be with Preview and started recently (after new Mac updates maybe).
I don't want to post the PDF file here since it's company property.
Any suggestions ?

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Problem Opening Mac Browser with Ostermiller lib

Has anyone had this problem when trying to open a browser window more than once from a java application on OSX with IE5.1:

The first time a browser window needs to be launched, it works, but any subsequent call kills the program and results in the above error message.

I heard that Apple finally implemented the MRJ method to open the browser in a recent version of OS X. I suppose it would be best to try to detect that a recent version of OS X is running and call the supported method.

New problem opening Pagemaker files with InDesign

I have quite a lot of archive files made in Pagemaker 6 and 7 and now use InDesign CS2. Until recently I could open pagemaker files from InDesign then save them as InDesign files and away I went.
But now I am just getting an error message saying the document is damaged and cannot be recovered. First off I thought it really was a damaged document but then realised all my old .pmds were saying the same.
Is there a known issue maybe with a recent upgrade of InDesign or something?
I would really love to be able to access my old pmds!!
Thanks in anticipation.

Yes Joel you're right - XP and recently installed SP3.
Just pondering the best way forward.
I'm responsible for the IT for a small charity with 8 staff members.
I have Master Suite CS3 and use a variety of the programmes but the other staff members are only using InDesign and MS Office.
We're not a high end design set up but producing all the sort of leaflets, posters bits and pieces that we need day to day.
Decided to upgrade to Office 2010 and to do that I had to install SP3.
Stuck with ID2 for everyone else (and went to great lengths to buy some extra licenses to do so) because opening an ID2 file with ID3 creates a new file which is a big nuisance and it's expensive to upgrade across the board (even with charities having access to educational licensing concessions).
Fact of life is we do tend to have quite long-lived files and I will go on wanting to open pagemaker ones for some time to come.
I probably only want to convert a pmd once a month I guess - it's just suddenly a huge nuisance not to be able to do those few ...
I can't roll back to SP2 because of Office 2010.
I could re-set one workstation wtih XP2, Office XP and InDesign CS2 purely to be able to convert pmds. Again, nuisance and ties up a licence on a little-used machine.
I could bite the bullet and move everyone over to InDesign CS3 - will I definitely be able to open pmds from there?
Ah, just thought - I have an ID3 licence but not loaded on my computer. If I load that and use it just for opening pmds then export them for backwards compatibility with ID2 like this http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/help.html?content=WSa285fff53dea4f86173837510 01ea8cb3f-6d4d.html will I then be a happy bunny?
Would be glad of expert comment before I start faffing about!
Thanks

Problems opening files & folders with Intuos3 Pen in Mini-Bridge

I just started working with an Intuos3, using it in many places to get the feel of it, clicking, double-clicking, etc. Works nicely! However, in Photoshop CS5 and Mini-Bridge, it's almost impossible to use the pen to open folders and open images. I will use the side buttons to click, or tap the tablet to click. I'm not sure if I'm tapping too fast, not fast enough, or what. The most consistent way to do it is right-click with the side switch and select open.
But why can't I "click" on a folder to open it, or an image to open it in Photoshop? Any thoughts would be welcome!

I have an Intuos4, and although I rarely use it it does open folders and puts pic in the viewer.
Go to your Wacom setup and make sure you have the pen set up correctly. There are lots of options for buttons, tip and so forth.

Problems opening word files with Word 2011 from a Windows 2012 server volume

Here is what we are seeing. Open any Word document on our server with Word 2011 (mac) results in an excruciating delay. Even a simple one page document will take over a minute to open up. The same document opened from the desktop of the mac opens in
2 seconds.
In troubleshooting this I turned on invisibles for my mac and watched the folder on the server where the file resides. Here is what I noticed.
1. If I open that file from a windows computer there is an invisible temp file created for the file that disappears when I close the document. The file opens on the Windows 7 machine with Office 2010 very quickly (2 seconds)
2. If I open the file from my mac with the preview of Word 2016 the same temp file is created and the file opens very quickly. (2 seconds).
3. If I open the file from my mac with Word 2011 it takes over a minute and I don't get a temp file on the server. Closing the document takes just as long.
So, what I am guessing is that Word 2011 is trying to create the temp file, tries for a minute, and finally gives up and opens the file anyway. When I close the file I am guessing it is looking for that temp file and finally gives up after a minute and closes
the file anyway.
Any insights as to what is going on would be appreciated. Our users are very frustrated with this situations.

Acrobat 9.1.3 problems opening files

Hi,
I'm having problems opening some files with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.1.3 and Windows XP and Vista. The problem also exists in other versions of Acrobat reader as well. I updated to the latest version hoping it would fix things. The problem is when I double click an Acrobat file, no matter where I save it, it starts Acrobat reader and then freezes. This does not seem to be the case with ALL acrobat files, mainly ones created in Excel and saved using the save as pdf utility provided by Microsoft. I have to forcibly quit Acrobat reader from the task manager. I have found that if I start Acrobat reader first that I can open the file by using the open command in the file menu. If I e-mail the file to someone else they are unable to open it unless they go through the same procedure I do.
Any thoughts as to what may be wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the response! I should have been a little more clear, though. The software is installed on and being run off of each of the individual local machines. The server just manages the users' home folders.
