Problems to delete big *.tif files

I have problems to delete big *.tif filese.
At first Windows delete it, but if i pressed F5 then the files are not deleted. I have tryed to delete it with and without Shift + Del its always the same.
When i delete this file many times then it would be deleted.
A other Problem with this big files is that windows open a dialogbox and calculate the time that needed to delete the tif file.
But i can wait 2 hours and more, nothing is done by windows. In the dialogbox dosn`t change anything.
Have anyone an Idea?
Thank you in advanced.
Daniel

Hi,
Does it happen to other files, just *.tif files? Generally speaking, When deleting a folder, the calculation time depends on not only the
file size but the file numbers of the folder. So you can delete sub-folders separately.
Also, you can try to use a popular methods to fix the issue. Here is the steps:
1. Right click on the file.
   2. Click Properties
   3. Click
Advanced
   4. Under File Attributes uncheck
Allow this file to have contents indexed in addition to file.
Also, you can take the following steps to fix this issue:
Step 1:
You may try creating a new user profile to see if the same problem occurs. If not then it could be a corruption/permissions problem
of the old user profile.

Step 2:
If the new user account works fine then the previous account was corrupt, you may follow the link given below to fix the corrupt
user profile.

In addition, the issue can be related to third-party components, especially file system filter drivers, such as anti-virus drivers. In this situation,
I suggest you can delete the files on Safe Mode. If on Safe Mode It works fine, you could perform
clean boot to check the result.
Hope it helps.

Problem opening 32bit HDR tif file

Hi
This is driving me mad. I've searched the forum and there are several similar posts, none of which solve this problem, so I'm posting a new thread.
Essential stuff:
CS5 v12.0.3 x32
Windows Vista 2G RAM
Memory usage in CS5 performance preferences set to 59% (I've tried everything from 10% to 90%)
Windows Virtual Memory set to 4G
Scratch disk has 20G free
I've already tried deleting the preferences file
The file it can't open is a 32bit HDR tif, 135Mb (hardly huge). I immediately get the error "Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM)" - yes, I've goggled this but the suggested solutions don't help. It routinely opens 32bit HDR tif files of about 35Mb, so I'm guessing the problem is something to do with the file size.
If anyone can help I'd be eternally grateful
Thanks
Doug

2 GB isn't really a lot of RAM to have in your system by today's standards, though one would think it would be enough that you should be able to open a single 135 MB file...
What's the pixel count in that file?
How was the file created?
I just started a fresh copy of Photoshop CS5 32 bit and it seems to be taking about 200 MB in RAM, before opening any image.
Just guessing at the image size, I created and saved a 141,193,460 byte 32 bit TIFF file. Opening that file, peak memory usage by Photoshop (program and data) was a hair under 500 MB.
Given that your OS should be using no more than about 500 MB to 1 GB of RAM, this should still leave space available for you to open this one file.
Have you tried creating and saving another file of equal size, and opening that? Doing so could help determine whether perhaps the file you're trying to open is somehow corrupted, or whether it's a basic RAM problem.

Problem retaining link to .tif file in Illustrator

I'm using CS4 on a PC, however this problem dates back to Version 9 of Illustrator.
I link .tif files to Illustrator .eps files, so that if I make changes to the .tif, the Illustrator file will show the changes. I place the .tif on a layer, making sure that I've checked the box to "place" rather than "embed" the file. In the upper left corner of the top tool bar, I verify the link by seeing that the file is identified as "linked file". All is good. Now, I save the file, close it, reopen it, and presto, sometimes it has become an embeded file. When this happens, the toolbar will now read "Group." No attempts to replace or re-link the file will be successful. It is as though the file has been corrupted. The only solution I have found is to create a new file and start over.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for answering.
It happens with CMYK files. I haven't used a clipping mask. I routinely use the overprint feature on elements that are on a layer above the .tif, with no resulting problems. I always lock the .tif layer to prevent bad things from happening.
But if you are saying that some kind of file conversion can happen automatically to "retain appearance", and that no warning or verification occurs, that is interesting. Do you know of a way to reverse this effect?

Zen Nano - problem I deleted a critcal file (not knowing at the time) and want to get it ba

Hi,
Sorry to bother you guys but I deleted a critical file (or it seems to be so) on the nano itself. It's totally empty but it shows that I only have 2 or so megs left!
This happened after I deleted a seemingly unimportant file but I did mention something about a dri've and such but I wasn't thinking so I deleted it.
I'm not a complete computer novice so this is doubly troubling that I would make such a novice mistake...
Anyways, if any of you have the file and can send it to me that would be great or have any other advice...
Thanx,
Jason

Reload the firmware and select the Format Data Area option. PB

Can I delete big 7z files for Pre8 and Photoshop8?

I am trying to clear some space on my hard drive and found (in the "My Documents" folder for some reason ) three 7z files that altogether take up more than 6GB of space. For example, PremiereElements_8_Content_WWEFDJ.7z
These appear along with the extractors, which aren't big.
Question is, if I delete these files will it affect the programs and how?
Thanks

It appears you downloaded the software, instead of buying a disc... is that true?
If yes, write the files to a CD and keep it safe... and write a file with your serial number(s) to the same CD so you will be able to reinstall in case of a hard disk problem
In fact, while your computer is working, you should also make a backup of your hard drive
Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... which makes restoring very easy to a new drive in the same computer, or to the same drive in case of corruption
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive and not have to re-install anything
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

Problem opening a scanned .tif file in CS4

Hi...Just got CS4 and am trying to use CS4 to open a picture that I scanned into the computer. I get this message "Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing the tiff file". The file is only 12,084 KB and 1702 x 2338. It will open in CS2 but not CS4. CS4 will however, open the scanned files that are smaller than 10,000 KB.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, is there a solution yet for this problem? I just upgraded to CS4 (from CS3) and now I have the same problem (Scanned tiff files, CS3 opens them perfect, CS4 gives error problem parsing the Tiff file.
thanks!

Problem with loading big image files in 1.4

Hi, I recently discovered that after updating my jdk from 1.3 to 1.4, my application seems to be failing to display image files over 300kbytes, or at least the display is corrupted.
Originally I have a gif file over 300k (2048X512 pixels) and the display got corrupted, but when i reduced the file (1024X512) the display did not corrupt.
Is there any way other than to cut the filesize of the image??
~Jeffrey

I know that focus management has changed alot.
Based on my experimentation a while back, in 1.4 it still believes that the JFrame is the window in focus, even though a JOptionPane is currently in front of it (unless I misinterpreted what was going on). Thus, the frame seems to get the keyboard event and re-invoke the action.

CS3 cannot open original TIF file after "save as" Photoshop PDF

Mac OS X 10.4.11, Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1), 2.5 GB RAM, and the files are saved to the afp file server (Windows Server 2000 SP4 running Services For Macintosh). When saving a TIF file as a PDF the original TIF file cannot be opened again.
Once Photoshop starts doing this I have to restart the system before the corruption problem goes away. The problem with that is if I do not catch it, I might convert 20 or so files in a day before I catch the problem. Once the TIF files are corrupt, the only thing I can do is restore from backup (long process) or save as again from the PDF file to TIF to place in my InDesign file. When I open the original TIF file I get an error: "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file." OR "Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing a TIFF file."
Has anyone else had this problem?

Justin,
>and the files are saved to the afp file server
If you are saving directly to the server, that can be trouble, particularly if IT is clueless or not vigilant about network issues and maintenance. Adobe specifically warns against working across your network. Please see the FAQ and numerous topics on this "problem".
Basically, drag-copy the file to your local drive. Work locally. Save locally. Drag-copy the completed file back to the server.
Let us know if working as I've just described "solves" the problem.

Corrupted tif files

Hi All,
I was working on a big tif file 2g at size, I edit it with photoshop through adobe lightroom. Due to unknown reason, when i tried to save the file in photoshop, and I was informed the file is non-accessible. It ends up the file is disappeared from hardisk and I used some recovery software to retrieve the tif files. However, it seems a corrupted tif files which can't open in Photoshop or Irfanview.
the error message I got from photoshop is 'could not complete your request, because it is not the right kind of file'.. it is a tif file with layers.
I had tried to google and search, it seems there is no way to repair a corrupted tif files.
Do I have a chance to restore it using any method?
thank you.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss of data.
Generally speaking, lost image data is usually really lost, especially if any recovered files you've identified to possibly contain your images are not opening in the ways you've tried...
Just basic stuff you've probably already thought of:
Have you made sure to rename files you're hoping to be TIFFs with the .tif file extension?
Did you File - Save As your file anywhere else?
Did you do a system backup that might have saved an earlier copy of the file to external media?

How do I save specific image from a .tif file?

Hello, I have a big .tif file contains some images. How can I save an image from a specific layer, to a .jpg or .png file?

Hide the layers as deepakgahlot has suggested by selecting the eye icon on the layers pallet and then when you have the layer you want save for web (Shift+Ctrl+Alt+S) or File>Save for Web.. and then you can select either a .jpg or .png

Tif files not opening via Acrobat Javascript openDoc() method

Hi,
I am trying to open a .tif file via Acrobat Javascript using the following code snippet which I have in config.js file in Acrobat Javascripts folder:
trustedOpenDoc = app.trustedFunction( function (File)
app.beginPriv();
var doc = app.openDoc({
cPath: File,
bUseConv: true
app.endPriv();
return doc;
Problem is that openDoc opens up all other images but it has problem with multi page tif files, I mean it does not open some tif files. I have directly tried to open files in Acrobat professional 8/9 from File --> Open but got same result.
The same happens also with some heavy (above 1 MB) .bmp files but with .bmp files this behaviour is not so frequent, on the other hand .tif files always give the same result.
Any PDF Gladiator who can save my project deadline!
Look please; I have this problem for the last 12 days and miserably my project is getting late becoz of this.
Thanks in advance for the resolution/suggestion.

You guys are not getting my point.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8/9 for creating a PDF that picks up text files and image (Jpg, bmp, tif) files from a network shared folder and inserts them into an empty Template PDF file by making use of Acrobat events through Javascript.
This all works fine as long I dont include any Tif file and PDF is created successfully.
Now all other file types including text files, jpgs, gif are opening up but problem is with .tif files.
You can check this by directly opening image files in Adobe Acrobat Profesional 8/9 from File --> Open menu option.
Other images will open up but most Tif files won't open in it. Such tif files also not open in "Winodws Picture and Fax Viewer" software but will open in softwares like "Imaging Professional" , "IrfanView" etc, which I think use some special codec for it.
If you know of any Acrobat plugin that can be incorporated in Acrobat professional and convert these tif files to PDF on the fly, would be of great help or have some any other suggestion you feel is right.
Thanks

Problems viewing large tif files in preview

i'm having trouble viewing large tif files in preview. the tif files are on a cdrom - when i click on the file to open it, it opens only the first 250 pages of the file. the file has approximately 3,000 pages. how can i get preview to open the rest of the pages?
thanks for any suggestions.
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

no trick - i didn't create the cdrom but it only has 3 tif files with approximately 3000 pages each, not 3000 large tif files. plus several smaller pdf files, but those aren't giving me any problems.
i don't know whether they're compressed, but i still can't get more than the first 250 pages to open, even after copying the file to my desktop. if anyone has any other ideas, i'd much appreciate it.

If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that isn't fully working. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
