PSE-6.......assigning file types (jpeg, TIFF, psd)

I mistakenly contacted Canon regarding the following question, and they said it was a matter of my photo editing software.
I'm reading articles about editing photos for jewelry photography. The articles I'm reading say to start off as a TIFF or PSD file before doing any editing. From what I'm (hopefully) understanding form the articles, they say to not edit a jpeg file and not to "jpeg a jpeg file" because each time you edit (do I understand correctly?) a jpeg file image information is lost.
That's what I'm understanding from what I'm reading.
My Situation ::: When I upload my photos from my camera (Canon Power Shot A1100 IS), my PSE-6 program uploads the photos as a jpeg file. It does not give me any choices as to what type of file to upload it as.
My Confusion ::: So, if my photos start out as jpeg files, am I losing image information when I subsequently edit the photo and save it? How can I start off with a TIFF or PSD file to edit? Does it matter? And why?
Any help with any of my questions are very much appreciated......

It doesn't matter where you start out. Just do File>Save As and choose TIff or PSD as the format for your working version.

Best file type; JPEG, TIFF, PNG etc

I'm using Iphoto 5 (can't decide to buy 06 or buy new Imac - still thinking on that ...) and wonder what is the best file type to use. When importing pictures from my camera they are jpeg's (haven't tried raw setting yet)- from my scanner I use TIFF. It appears the TIFF files are a lot larger - 20 to 50mb compared to the jpegs 1 to 5mb. I've opened the TIFF files in preview and save as JPEG to reduce the size and also scanned using JPEG format - I don't see any advanatge to the larger tiff files and the smaller jpegs are easier manipulated - am I'm missing something?

Hi Arlington,
There is an important difference between JPG and TIFF:
JPG uses a lossy compression!!!
Just try to open a JPG and save it under a new name as JPG. Repeat this ten times and then compare the last picture (..the one that got saved and re-saved ten times as a JPG) with the original one you should see a difference, the quality of the last image should be a lot less than the original.
That's the difference - if you want to edit your pictures (e.g. in Photoshop) and quality is your first priority then go with TIFF. If you just download the pictures from your digital camera and store them then JPEG is your best choice.

CS6: cannot open any files JPEG, TIFF, PSD, PNG [was:Help!]

Hey,
So, I'm a freshmen in college majoring in Simulation and Game Development. Two of my SGD classes features Photoshop. I am trying to continue an assignment that I started at school today, but the Photoshop CS6 (64 bit) that I have on my laptop (which was obtained legally and is a gift from my sister) will not let me open any files. Not, JPEG, TIFF, PSD, PNG, nary a one of the photo types can be opened. It doesn't give me any signs of trouble or error messages. It just wont let me open a file or make a new file. I just sits there in all its power staring me down. Ugh, why must Photoshop all of a sudden despise me so? So, could you all please help me and fast? I have deadlines that must be met!
Blessings,
BSE

Okay, I'm going to say this now. I'm a techinically chanellged artistic person. So, I haven't a clue what a OS is...
And no I haven't changed anything on my computer lately, except for the updates that the computer does while it's configuring, which is did earlier when I tried the ole restart and hope it works thing. Which sadly, did not do anything to help me.
Extra Info:
Computer: Dell Inspiron
System Operator: Winows 7 Ultimate
Yes, it's tyhe full version not the trial version.
It's Photoshop CS6 (64 bit).
Yes, I've used it before on this computer.
I've had it for almost 2 maybe 3 months now. I got it as a gift from my sister the 2nd and 3rd week of he beginning of my Fall semester. We're almost at the end of said semester since 2 to 3 weeks ago I have my midterms, which were all jammed into one week. Tests galore.

Red Box - Unsupported File Type - Large Tiff - Large Scans - 10,000 pixels

Hello All,
I am a user of Aperture 2.1, and I have grown to love the program except for one major issue. Large files that are imported into the program are simply unsupported.
I scan 6x7 medium format negatives (8649x10712 @ 530.2 megs) and 4x5 negatives (very large drum scans) into my system (new 8 core, 12 gig ram, 512 meg vidcard, 10.5.2) and the issues begin. A thumbnail is properly built. Once the thumbnail is selected, and a preview is built, the image appears briefly and is replaced by a red box soon with the text "Unsupported File Type". If I change views to full screen all I see is a red box with the same text. Ie. I can't work the image.
The files are perfectly fine. I work them in photoshop cs3 no problem, and I can view them with quick look preview no problem.
This is highly frustrating as I work primarily in larger formats and create large prints!
It seems like the bug occurs in files that have a side larger than 10,000 pixels. This is a massive issue to large format/panoramic workflow!
I have called Apple tech support and the techs claim ignorance. That could mean they do not know of the issue which does not bode well for a solution. I'm in the dark. Please shed some light!
Three questions:
Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Is there a workaround that doesn't involve cutting file size?
Has there been any acknowledgment from Apple support regarding this issue?
I am most frustrated as Aperture is billed as a professional product, but it is unable to keep up with the demands of a working fine art photographer.
Awesome product but needs some adjustments!

William, thanks for your input, but I feel that your position avoids the primary issue. Aperture is a Digital Asset Manager, and as such, should be able to manage digital image assets.
From Aperture's Webpage: "See how Aperture lets you import, manage, and enhance your photos in one simple, integrated workflow." It says photos, not Raw photos. In fact, I'll take it one step further, in the tutorial CD that came with 1.5, the narrator mentions the 16-bit workflow in Aperture with Tiffs, more than once.
I purchased Aperture for management and integrated workflow. Apple states: "Now it’s even easier to cull through shoots, enhance images, manage massive libraries, and deliver stunning photos." No where does it say that the functionality of the program is limited to RAW files. Ie. Apple never mentions that Large .tif files are not supported.
I have 6x7 and 4x5 Scans, Masters, Working Images, Print files and Web images that I would like to organize, stack, label, rate, view versions simultaneously on my second screen, sort, arrange, and keyword. The program's basic functionality is thwarted by an issue that Apple has not owned up to.
If Apple had mentioned in its literature that large .tif's weren't supported I would not be posting this, as I would not have purchased the software. But nowhere, not in phone conversations with Apple Techs (3), not on their own Forums where other end users have hit a massive workflow brick wall, and not even after I mentioned to a One on One guru, has Apple said, oh, yeah, we are aware of it and working on it. There is no transparency here.
Now, I have purchased Aperture, learned it, and imported thousands of files into it. I like the program as I have seen it function with smaller files perfectly, but this large file issue needs to be overcome.
Regarding editing images, yes I use photoshop for the majority of my post-production. I then use a finely tuned Colorburst Rip on a nice Epson for my Fine Prints. Those are the functions of the respective programs. Aperture is a DAM, a program that among other things allows the end use to manage their files effectively and maintain a strong workflow.
Regarding space - esata is a beautiful thing.

Hi,

BLOB means Binary Large Object. So, any binary data is supported.

Assign file types back to CS6 Applications

At this point I had to let go of my CC subscription. I've been waiting on a big contract to get finalized so I could justify renewing the whole suite of apps.
I left CC on my machine so I wouldn't have to re-download it all if I start it up again in a week or two.
The problem I am having is on my PC when I try to open a JPG in Adobe Bridge CS6 it opens in the expired Photoshop CC. Bridge CS6 will not allow you to re-assign the file type association with Photoshop CS6. It forces it into Photoshop CC. Same thing with Windows file type associations. I can try to point .JPG to the .exe for Photoshop CS6 all I want, but it automagically replaces it with CC.
How do it get back control of my machine to tell it to open things in CS6 for now until I can renew CC? I realize you might answer, "just uninstall CC" but should it be that difficult?
Thanks.

John,
Sorry if I didn't make it clear. I did go to WIndows tool to change file type associations. It let me specify Photoshop CS6, however, as soon as you make the choice it re-assigns it to Photoshop CC. It's like in a death spiral you can can't get away from.

Can´t open/import any file like jpgs, tiffs, psd!?!

so strange, but my indesign cs5 does not support any files like normal jpgs and tiffs!!
i cant open them...
i always get the info box: Cannot open the file "blabla.JPG". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that.....
hello?? jpg?? tiff?? psd?? pdf???
is something blocked?? no file AT ALL, there must be something wrong...thats for sure.
i reinstalled the whole application! really...i dont know what to do, i hope someone here can help me!
its frustrating!! all jpgs in the open dialog from indesign are grey when its on -all readable docs- in -all docs- its black to choose,
but nothing happens, just the fu¢≠}g info box shows up again.
strange thing is i used it before and it worked, like half a year ago on my macbook. i transfered the the user and all applications to the imac
so its identical, photoshop and lightroom is working fine, just ID is making trouble.
thx for your help guys!

You have to have some inkling of InDesign before going to work with it. Do you have any previous experience with it? Are you aware of the Online Help? (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6bc4a.h tml in particular).

Edits made in ACR don't appear in a saved file, like JPEG, TIFF, etc., and don't show in Photoshop

Hi, I'm new to Photoshop CS5. I've used it for about a week and liked how I could use Camera Raw to do editing like noise reduction and sharpening and then save the images as JPEGs or TIFFs or open them in Photoshop for further editing. I did this a few times and it worked well. Today I edited a bunch of Raw pictures and made them look really great when viewed in ACR. When I save them in any format or open them with Photoshop they don't look like the pictures I edited at all. I use maximum quality, don't compress and so on. When viewed in anything other than Camera Raw there is a lot of noise, and the pictures are not sharp at all. Am I missing something? I spent hours trying to figure out the problem. Went through the process several times. Looked at the preference settings for Camera Raw and looked up how they are supposed to be. In fact I hadn't changed the settings and previously this seemed to have been working fine. Please, help. Sincerely, Wassili

Save the images how? How are you opening them? When you edited the images in Camera Raw, did you click Done? Or Open?
It's kinda tough to understand the workflow of what you are doing...are you viewing the images in Bridge then opening them in Camera Raw?
When you are editing noise and sharpening, are you viewing the images at 100% to evaluate the results?

Raw File conversion to Tiff or Jpeg - best workflow for multiple files in Photo Shop Elements 11

Hello, I am pretty new to shooting in raw and Photoshop Elements (11). I have one big problem. Once I open Elements up and load the Raw files from the SD card it shows them all on the left side in Camera Raw. I make my contrast and color adjustments if needed, but then my problem starts: I do not really want to make any further adjustments in Elements itself, but in order to save my Raw files either as Tiff or Jpeg it seems like I need to - through clicking on the "open image". Now it only opens up that one particular photo. I did not manage to go simply back to Camera Raw to grab the next one as the screen just disappears. However, this one by one process is of course not the preferred way. I know that there is batch processing, but am also not sure if my adjustments that I did in Camera Raw will carry over as I am actually never saving anything and would like to avoid saving it before all manually as .dng files as it would just be another extra step. I hope I could make clear where I have problems and what I would like to achieve and hope you can help me. Many thanks in advance.
Philip

Simply select and edit each picture thumbnail from the left panel without clicking 'Done' or 'Open'.
When you have edited each individual picture, select all your thumbnails - click on the first one - shift click on the last one. They should be all highlighted.
Then simply click 'Done'.
Your edits are saved in sidecar xmp files.
If the thumbnails are not yet automatically updated, select the files, right click and choose 'Update thumbnail'.
No need to use the editor with 'Open as' if you don't want any further edit or jpeg/tiff/psd/png version.
Edit:
I am not sure I have understood your question.
The above process lets you convert and edit a batch of raw files without opening the editor.
If you want to get jpeg or tiff files from the already edited raw files, either use the 'process multiple files' of the editor or the 'export' feature from the Organizer.
The common raw workflow in Elements consists in converting small batches as explained above to take advantage of applying common edits or individual differences. In some cases you want to open the editor, in others not.
That's at the input time.
When you want to output pictures, the selection of picture is different for each purpose. You'll include pictures edited in different batches, some still in raw format, others already converted in version sets to jpeg/tiff... For each output purpose, those selected pictures can be sent to the destination folder in the required format withoug opening the editor at that stage either using 'process multiple files' or 'export'.

PSE 12 won't save the tiff file over the original, but brings up save as window

I've solved (or had help) solving this problem before:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5893872#5893872
I am using PSE 12 as a photo editor for Aperture 3.5.1 and the photo is duplicated (as a tiff) in Aperture and PSE editor opens with the image. When I close the file and say to save the file it brings up the save as window.
The fix from the earlier discussion worked fine at first, but now, even though I tell PSE 12 to "on first save -- save over current file" it now brings up the "save as" window and won't save over the file (changes the file type from .tiff to .tif)
Has something changed?
Dave

Go to the editore preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor, then try again (You will need to reset the saving files pref first):

Newbie stuck - how do I change the file type of a photo I am formatting from a TIFF to a JPG?

I am new to Aperture and struggling to figure out some of the basics, even with the tutorials. I need to submit a photo for an art competition - the master is a TIFF and I need a JPG under 1.8 MB - how do I change the new version's file type and keep it with the master?
Thank you in advance.

I can't recommend the method proposed by Carolyn Samit; in fact, I recommend ignoring it.
Aperture is large, complex, and can take some time to learn to use. It is also quite powerful, and can handle nearly all -- or all -- common tasks you throw at it.
I have written a very short guide to Aperture which was intended to provide some firm footing for those getting started. I humbly suggest that you start with a quick review.
One of the things that presents a bit of disorientation for new users is that, in practice, Aperture keeps your pictures in a kind of limbo. There are good reasons for this -- suffice it for now to accept that you import image-format digital files into Aperture, you use Aperture to organize and optimize these as Images, and then when need a file to use outside of Aperture, you export you Image. It is at export that you format your Image: you select the file type, the compression amount, the file name, the file size, and more.
In your case, then, you will export your Version, and set the file type to TIFF (recommended above JGP whenever quality is paramount). There is no way to know the file size in bytes prior to creating it. Start with a full-size TIFF and, if necessary, knock it down by percentage until the exported file is less than 1.8 MB.
There is no reason to attempt to keep this file with the Image in Aperture. Send it on its way. Any time you need another file from your Image, you can create it fresh via "File→Export→Version".
HTH. If it doesn't, ask more.

Cannot import still image: jpeg/tiff/png/gif/ai/psd

Hello all:
I'm running into a strange error. No matter what size image I try, I cannot seem to import a still image into Adoe Premiere Pro cs4 running on Mac OSX 10.6.2
The error I receive is a "File Import Error: File Video Dimensions width/height too large."
I've tried the following to isolate why Premiere is returning this error:
- importing images at different sizes: 100x200, 1000x2000 etc
- saving the image as different file formats: jpeg, tiff, gif, png etc
- importing it as an illustrator file
- importing it as a Photoshop file
None of that worked. I'm at my wit's end and I can't seem to find anybody that has experienced this error before.

Here are some threads to check:

File Type Associations Do Not Stick System-Wide CS4

When I set File Type Associations for PSD, Tiff, DNG and Jpeg fles in Bridge CS4 so that my files will open in PS CS3 (and insure that the same file associations apply in Bridge CS3), this works as it should from within CS4 and CS3, but it is impossible to introduce a system-wide change in Mac OS 10.5.5 via File-Info. It always reverts to CS4 for these file types, if I try to 'modify all'. The same thing happened when I upgraded from CS2 to CS3.

If File Type Associations are set properly in the Bridge preferences, the default setting can be made to open files in PS CS3, with CS4 installed. This works from within CS3 and CS4. However, it sometimes happens that one is in the Finder, and the default remains PS CS4, however much one tries (via File-Get Info) to modify the default system-wide settings so that these files open in CS3. In any event, a bit invasive. Of course, if I could get comfortable with the Adjustment Layer Panels, all this would be unnecessary, but for the moment, there appear to be too many clicks, and it is going to take some time, so I don't want to burn bridges. Perhaps there is also some ambiguity in my mind as to what the pointing finger in the new Curves dialogue box, much like a tolling bell, is trying to tell me.
But thanks, once again Anne, for your good-natured help.

File Type restriction in Document of Records Attachments

Users have options to upload any type of Files PDF, JPEG, TIFF, docx in Document of Records. Some of the File Types would take lot more memory Space than others like PDF vs. DOCX/TIFF.
For Example same Employee Passport scanned as PDF may take only 10KB vs. 50KB when scanned as TIFF Image.
Are there ways to restrict File Types in Document of Record so that only PDF files can be Attached/uploaded?

Thank you, Profile option is good idea to define overall limit on the document size. But Employee documents may range from 10KB to 20MB.
Simple 1 Page Certificate may be 10KB in size while a 20 Page Passport would be 15MB. The profile will have to be set at 15MB to allow users to upload Passport in this case. however that would not stop a user uploading Certificate in TIFF format consuming 100KB space vs. 10KB had it been done in PDF format.
User Hook sounds like the solution, Do you know the API used to upload document to Employee record and do they have User hook options?

File type icons in CS6 Design and Web Premium

Hello everyone.
I am running Windows 7, 64 bit. I have recently upgraded from CS5.5 Design Premium to CS6 Design and Web Premium.
I the process, I lost the association of file types (such as .psd) with their relevant programs, which I have now recified.
However, the filetype icons that are associated with each program, in most cases, don't seem to have assigned themselves to their respecitive icons. For example, .psd files now show as a white document with the blue Ps square icon in the centre, and the same for InDesign etc. Oddly, Illustrator has worked and has assigned it's icons correctly.
For example:
I can't find a method of editing specific file types icons - even then, I wouldn't know where to find the particular icon sets.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance either way.
