Relinking from jpg to tif

First of all, thanks for all the great tips with earlier re-linking problem.
The tip to use "copy links from..." worked perfectly for switching from my
RGB tifs to my CMYK tifs.
Now I have a different type of relinking problem. My present InDesign (CS2)
documents are currently linked to jpgs in a folder. I need to replace all
the jpgs with tifs (the image file names are the same, only the extensions
are different). Is there a quick way to relink these images (i.e.,
figure1.jpg needs to be replaced with figure1.tif) without having to
manually relink every single image from the links palette?
I used jpgs in setting up the document because it was a lot quicker on my
computer for working and for emailing back and forth for editing purposes.
Now I need to make a finished document for the printer and it needs to have
high resolution tifs.
Thanks!
Don

I think wasn't clear about what I'm trying to do regarding jpg to tif. I
already have all the tif documents, I just want to link the InDesign images
to these tif files without having to highlight each image in the links
palette and browse to the tif image to relink. Very time-consuming to do it
this way. I was hoping there is a faster way to relink to the tif images
without having to do it one image at a time. But the website hotlink I was
asked to look at makes it look like only CS4 has the ability to do a fast
relink. Correct? Looks like I'll be busy for the next couple days relinking
all these images to the tif versions -- correct?
Thanks for your help,
Don

How do I export jpgs as tifs with the original resolution ?

Hi,
I am very new to Lightroom 5 (I only installed it today (on Windows 8.1) :-)) but I have read Victoria Bampton's Quick Start Guide and have read a number of forum posts over the last few weeks to get an idea about how the program generally works.
I am embarking on a project to scan and archive my family's photos and videos, and I will be using Lightroom to manage the collection. To start the project, I have just imported over 10,000 digital photos taken by a variety of cameras (36 of them, according to Lightroom !) over the last 12 years or so into a new Lightroom catalogue.   These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
I started by doing an Export of a small number of photos to save the .jpg files as .tif files, but when reviewing the results, I noticed that the image's resolution was changed during the export. For example, one original jpg is only 96ppi but the exported tif is 240ppi. Another jpg is 180ppi and the tif is 240ppi. At least, that's what the metadata seems to be telling me (via the Details tab of the Properties dialog in Windows), so I assume it's true...
I understand that the 240ppi that I am seeing in the .tif file metadata was specified in the Image Sizing section of the Export dialog, so that's not the issue.
I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.   It would be great if the resolution setting in the Export dialog was controlled by the Resize to Fit checkbox, like the other settings in the section, but it doesn't appear to be (it's enabled even if the Resize to Fit checkbox is unticked).
I then thought about using the Library Filters to filter by the Horizontal Resolution metadata, so that I could select all the photos with the same resolution and export just those with the Resolution setting in the Export dialog set to the right number, and then repeat that process for each different group of original photos with a different resolution. Unfortunately, I have not been able to work out how to filter by the horizontal resolution metadata field - it doesn't seem to be available in the dropdown list of fields shown when I click on the up-down arrow next to the "Date" or "Camera" (etc.) columns in the Library Filter pane.
Finally, here's my question (or three):
Is there a way to export .jpgs to .tif files while keeping the original resolution ?
Alternatively, is there a way to select groups of photos by their horizontal or vertical resolution (so just those photos could be exported in a group with the right resolution specified) ?
Or is there any other way to do what I want (convert jpg to tif with the same resolution and keeping all the metadata) ?
Thanks for reading all the way through to the end.
John.

These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
I'm not sure why you say this. In terms of long-term archival format, I think the two are equal, I am not aware of other reasons to do this, and thus in my opinion, the task of globally turning all your JPGs into TIFFs seems unnecessary. You don't gain anything by doing this. But you sure will spend a lot of time and take up a lot of disk space doing this.
I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.
Again, I think you have embarked upon an unnecessary task. The ppi in the file is essentially meaningless. A photo that has (for example) 3000x2000 pixels saved at 240 ppi is the exact same photo as the same photo 3000x2000 saved at 180ppi, not a single pixel has changed. You are placing a meaning and importance to this ppi number that just doesn't exist.
To answer your questions at the bottom, I would advise you to not do the things you are talking about, it seems to me that you have greatly misunderstood things.

Problem printing PDF picture files imported from JPG using HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer

When I print PDF picture files imported from JPG using an HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer, the picture spills over. A wide range of other PDF files print OK. Have tried things such as configuring the printer to scale to letter size, etc,, but without success. Have a Windows 7 64 bit computer and Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5. Any ideas?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @rt70
I understand you're having some issues with printing PDF files from a website on Windows 7.
I would personally suggest trying to print from that website using a different web browser. If you're using Internet Explorer, try FireFox or Chrome, for example.
You can also try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, that will search and try and fix printing issues.
If you have any issues that continue, please let me know what they are and which programs, websites, and web browsers you have tried, along with the results from running the diagnostic tool above.
Good luck and have a great day

DNG Profile Editor: Can't create profile from JPG file

Guys, could you tell me why DNG Profile Editor fails to create color table using 4 colored circles ? It says "Unable to check white balance using gray patches. Please use the four color circles to identify the four corner patches of the chart and try again" even though I places four circles properly (it works with DNG files shot with my Nikon D700).
I created this DNG file from JPG file by opening it in Camera Raw plugin and saving as DNG file. Original JPG was shot on camera of Samsun Galaxy S phone. I know I'm crazy but I want to have color profile for it All patches are properly exposed after slight correction of Exposure slider in Camera Raw.
I'm using latest beta3 build
Here is link to DNG and JPG file I'm trying to use
http://www.box.net/shared/4v2rzlzjfp
Thanks!

If you convert your JPG to a DNG can you change the profile to the one you computed from the other JPG you converted to a DNG?
Profiles are not for JPGs. Profiles are for RAW files that ACR supports. You can't (easily/ever) get a RAW file from your Galaxy S and Adobe doesn’t' support that RAW format even if you could.
To see if your profiling is working, you can used the ColorCheck module from a trial version of Imatest that you download from www.imatest.com and look at the color-error.
You can also try the Read_Color_CC24.jsx script from Rags-Gardner:

DPM2012 Sp1 not protecting jpg or tif files

Hello,
I am using DPM2012 to protect several file servers in my domain. I noticed today that DPM is not protecting any .jpg or .tif files. I checked the protection group and have no exceptions. What could be causing this behavior? Thanks in advance for your help.
RSG

No errors in logs, it does however protect tif files and all others. BTW I do not have any exceptions defined in my protection group. The machine in question (protected server) is running Windows 2003 Storage Server R2.

Pdf from jpg with OCR asks to "save to online account"

Anyone know whether using OCR on Acrobat XI saves my data on Adobe server thru online account? When creating a pdf from jpg there is a toggle, "save to online account". I prefer not to store my data in the cloud or on any server--I save only to my personal computer. Thanks for clarifying this for me.

When you choose an online account the documents will be saved there otherwise on the local disc.

Can you import metadata from an excel database to images (JPG, PSD, TIF) in bulk?

I am very new to working with metadata. I have a microsoft excel file with the IPTC Core fields I need for each image file.
(Creator, Headline, Description, Keywords, Title, Job Identifier, Credit Line, Source, Rights Usage Terms, Copyright Status and Copyright Notice)
Is there a way to get the metadata into the files without having to copy from a cell into each metadata field individually?
I am hoping some for sort of script, possibly...
Also, if only ONE of these fields needed updating in all of the files (i.e. Rights Usage Terms) can that be done?
I have Bridge 5.1 (and earlier versions CS3/CS4)

Yes Paul, exactly like that. Thanks for this - at least I know it's possible...
I am not such a script writing guru that I know how alter it to include all of the fields I mentioned in my original post tho'.
Missing fields I would require:
Creator (bridge no longer calls this Author - as listed in the script - I guess that's an easy switch)
Job Identifier (text field)
Credit Line (text field)
Source (text field)
Rights Usage Terms (text field)
Copyright Status (this is a pull-down in Bridge CS5 that you select "Copyright" Public Domain" or "Unassigned)
Copyright Notice (text field)
Is there a script that covers the "IPTC core" fields in their entirety - or maybe an easy way to alter the script to include the missing fields I need?

Copying keywords from jpg to raw

I imported all my jpgs with keywords into lightroom 5. I'm now thinking I will no longer make a jpg as part of my workflow and just keep the keywords in the raw files. Is there an easy way to copy all keywords from 1234.jpg to 1234.tif (raw file). Many thanks.

To do all at once, you'll need a plugin, e.g.
* Syncomatic (John Beardy)
* RawPlusJpeg (Rob Cole)
* Relative Antics (Rob Cole)
Internet search will show 'em up pretty quick.

JPG to TIF to JPG

Photo images from my camera are loaded into my computer as JPG files. After I do some post processing in PSE (levels, sharpen, etc.) I save the image as a TIF file. But when I send it to be printed by Costco I must use JPG (they do not accept TIF), so I convert the file back to JPG. By using this process do I preserve the best possible resolution, or should I skip the TIF step? Or???
Thanks,
Wendell

No way, you don't lose anything with that extra step to TIFF. However, you lose something when going from Tiff to Jpeg, but if you have your setting at about 10 or more, it won't be noticable.

Convert JPG to TIF

I need to convert a large number of JPG images to TIF. I can do it in ACDSEE Pro but am trying to streamline my workflow. Is this at all possible in LR3?

What nobody has mentioned is a minimally-destructive JPEG only workflow using the highest possible JPEG quality setting (12 in PS).
1) Import original JPEG into LR
2) Perform non-destructive editing in LR
3) Open file in PS (without exporting in LR)
4) Perform editing in PS
5) Save file in PS after editing> Save As>JPEG>Quality '12' (You need to select this manually using the slider, otherwise only '10' is available.)
6) Perform additional non-destructive editing in LR, which will now show the edits you made PS.
7) If necessary, go back to step #3 to perform additional editing in PS.
8) Export the final processed image in LR to whatever file format(s) you require.
The above workflow can be modified to do the editing in PS first if that makes more sense (3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2). I do this all the time with film scan images by first performing frame cropping, rotating, removing dust spots, and other "permanent" editing in PS. There is usually no need to do these types of editing non-destructively. Once complete the file can be saved as JPEG Quality 12, regardless of the original file's quality level. This insures very minimal damage is done to the file on subsequent edits and saves in PS. All other editing is then done non-destructively in LR. The only limitation with this workflow is that you cannot see the LR adjustments made to the file when reopening it in PS. For my film scan image scenario and many other image workflows, this is not a serious limitation.
I personally use 16 bit TIFF with Pro PhotoRGB color profile output from my film scanner. But I can recommend the above JPEG workflow if you only have access to JPEG original file images. By using a '12' quality setting in PS you can open, edit, and resave the JPEG file numerous times (10-100+ times) before JPEG compression artifacts will become visible. If your workflow is highly iterative (>10 times) between LR and PS, then TIFF is the best way to go!

Creating PDF from JPG files

I scan several pages from a book and wish to compile a PDF file from the scanned JPG files. What I want is the PDF file to be as small as possible, using relatively good JPG files (they are on the order of 300k), so that the fonts don't look too blurry when magnifying the image in Acrobat. My PDF file gets to be very big when creating a file composed of around 100 scanned pages. How can I make the file smaller?
I can't use optical character recognition to convert the text of the page. Much of the text contains mathematical symbols and figures, but is generally just black-and-white.
I feel the large file size of the resultant PDF file is due to all the "white space" of the JPG file. Is there some way to have Acrobat "ignore" the white when creating the PDF file, and then just display the information part of the JPG file on a white background?
Remember, I'm creating a PDF file from scanned textbook pages, not photographs. I would think that there is an optimum way to do this, keeping good resolution of the text (the "black" or non-white information), and minimizing the file size of the resultant PDF file.
Any thoughts?
I have Acrobat 8, Photshop Elements 6, and Windows Vista Ultimate.
Thanks

For starters, you should be sure and scan them as grayscale. Then the "white space" won't be an issue.
Basically the answer is going to be in your initial scan. You need to optimize the files as best you can there first then create the PDF.

Sync is not working correctly from .jpg to .nef

I am working on editing a large collection of photos, maybe 150 or 160. These are photographs of flat art taken using a flat-art photography stand (camera points directly at floor, art piece is on larger white background). I have two versions of the exact same image, one .jpeg and one .nef. I am editing them one at a time, fixing the white balance, any accidental tilt, and cropping them. Again, the two images are exactly the same: size, angle, etc. What I have been doing is editing the .jpg and then highlighting the .nef version and syncing the two. This has been working perfectly, but something has changed and I don't know what I did to cause it. When I sync the changes I have made to the .jpg, the crop does not line up correctly on the .nef image. Instead of the image being perfectly centered and cropped, it is off to the side, revealing the white background and cutting off the image. Why is this happening? How can I fix it?

What dj wrote regarding crops is equally true for all and any edits you do to the NEF, including any you paste from the jpg. Those edits exist only in the catalog and additionally in an XMP file if you opt for that. Thus the modifications to the NEF will be viewable only in your LR catalog or by somebody else (with the accompanying XMP) in Adobe software.
Also, you should consider that color-critical edits cannot simply be pasted from a gamma corrected image rendered in a narrow RGB space to linear and wide gamut image data and be the same. If it's a jpg from the camera it is in either sRGB or Adobe RGB, narrower gamuts than LR's linear ProPhoto RGB and colors have already been changed in the camera by both the Rendering Intent and the Tonal Response Curve. Moreover, the camera's jpg has been built on a Nikon camera profile while both viewing within LR and exports from it are on the basis of an Adobe profile that may seek to emulate the maker's profile but will never be the same.
You say you do WB adjustments to the jpg. How are +/- tweaks in a limited range applied on top of the camera's WB supposed to translate to WB for the NEF when even the UI (Temperature and Tint) is different?
I have had many years experience photographing paintings for show catalogs and your method seems fundamentally flawed to me.

How to get byte array from jpg in resource for Image XObject?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get an array of bytes from a jpg from resource without an external library except MFC?
The array of bytes is needed to create an Image XObject so it can be included in an appearance for an annotation.

Sounds like a standard Windows programming question, not specific to the SDK.
