Resolution limit exporting to TIFF or JPG

Hi,
I can't export 4500x2500mm image with 300 or even 150 dpi. Need to do it with only 96 dpi.
I'm using Acrobat X Pro.
What is the limit and why is there limit?

Photoshop CS and later can work with documents up to 300,000 pixels in each dimension, but it's limited by RAM and when saving a document you have filesize limits due to the bit depth of the headers:
PSD = 2GB
PSB = 4GB
Tiff = 4GB
A Tiff file can in theory contain an image with a 4 billion pixel canvas dimension, but in practice it would exceed the filesize.

Can't export to TIFF or JPG in CS3

I'm working on a project and trying to export a 8.5 x 11 image out of CS3 to a JPG or TIFF. It keeps telling me one of two errors, first that the image size exceeds the limit for rasterization OR error memory insufficent to complete. I am working on a PC with 3 GIG of RAM, and Vista. Any advice? Seems like it should be able to work!

cos,
A statement of resolution will help the helpers.

Export specified pages as jpg at defined resolution

Hello inDesign Community -
I have a script that allows me to export pages specified from a dialog prompt as jpgs at a specific resolution (500px wide).
This is great for making thumbnails, however It uses the dimensions of the active document page to set the resolution formula.
This works unless there are different sized pages, at which point you get different sized jpg.
How can use the page dimensions of each page that is being exported individually.
I assume there is a way to get an array from jpegExportPreferences.pageString that can then be looped through.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1. You need to insert myCurrentWidth & Height calculation into function exportJPG() and execute it for each page;
2. This function supposes to be run with each chosen page and different exportPreferences;
3. So you need split a string variable pageToExport into array collecting separate pages.
Like this:
// which pages to export
var pagesToExport;
// final jpg demensions
var myLargeWidth = 500;
var myLargeHeight = 500;
// create a variable for current active document
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
// remove ententions from end of file path
myFilename = docRef.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
// set variable to save file in same directory as active document
myFolder = docRef.filePath;
// set document measurments to points and reset ruler orgin
docRef.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
docRef.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
docRef.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
docRef.zeroPoint = [0,0];
function exportJPG(cPage) {
// export large jpg
//bounds    Array of Measurement Unit (Number or String)    readonly    The bounds of the Page, in the format [y1, x1, y2, x2].
// find width of page
var myCurrentWidth = cPage.bounds[3]-cPage.bounds[1];
// find height of page
var myCurrentHeight = cPage.bounds[2]-cPage.bounds[0];
if (myLargeWidth > 0) {
// Calculate the scale percentage
var myResizePercentage = myLargeWidth/myCurrentWidth;
var myExportRes = myResizePercentage * 72;
// exportResolution is only accurate to 1 decimal place, so round
else {
// Calculate the scale percentage
var myResizePercentage = myLargeHeight/myCurrentHeight;
var myExportRes = myResizePercentage * 72;
// use caluclated percentage as resolution
app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = myExportRes;
app.jpegExportPreferences.pageString = cPage.name;
// export jpg in myfolder add .jpg to end.
docRef.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, File(myFolder+"/"+myFilename + "_" + cPage.name + "-500px.jpg"));
// SUI Dialog
myInput ();
// jpg export preferences
app.jpegExportPreferences.exportingSpread= false;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.HIGH;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_RANGE;
app.jpegExportPreferences.embedColorProfile = false;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegColorSpace= JpegColorSpaceEnum.RGB;
app.jpegExportPreferences.antiAlias = true;
// run function (loop through chosen pages)
var b, c, d, stop;
b = pagesToExport.split(",");
while (c = b.shift() ) {
d = c.split("-");
stop = parseInt(d[0]);
while (stop <= parseInt(d[d.length-1]) ) {
       exportJPG(docRef.pages.item(stop-1));
       stop++;

docRef.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.inches;
// rest of the script
function myInput ()
var myWindow = new Window ("dialog", "Pages to export as JPG");
var myCommentGroup = myWindow.add ("group");
myCommentGroup.add ("statictext", undefined, "export some jpgs", {multiline:true});
//myCommentGroup.maximumSize.width = 200;
var myInputGroup = myWindow.add ("group");
myInputGroup.add ("statictext", undefined, "Pages: (1-3,8,10)");
var myText = myInputGroup.add ("edittext", undefined, "1");
myText.characters = 20;

myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "OK");
myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel");

Notice that different page sizes can lead to different width/height proportions.
In this case JPGs will still differ. (by height)

Export large TIFF scans to JPEG results in distorted "banding" effect

built-in JPEG converter, when used to send TIFF files to a .Mac screensaver or when used to export TIFF files to JPEG, results in distorted images on certain kinds of TIFF files, resulting in portions of the image displayed in vertical stripes across the screen... this seems to happen mostly to landscape-oriented photos which were scannned from 8x10 at 48-bit 600dpi (5960x4699) with a file size around 100MB... but does not occur on similar scans in portrait mode (4699x5899)... indicating a possible horizontal resolution limit around 5000?
tested same files in GraphicConverter, resulting in output without this problem

I Additionally, when I convert the file using the save as command in Preview, I can convert it into a jpeg or jpeg2000 and it is much smaller (71GB for example), but the same anomalous behavior occurs when I finish editing the file and quit iPhoto- - when I double click the thumbnail, the full sized image appears briefly and then disappears. leaving in its place a completely black window. I would be most appreciative of any insights.
Thanks.

Adobe Illustrator error while exporting to tiff

While trying to export to tiff with more than 260 dpi Illustrator gives a message: "the combination of artwork size and resolution exceeds the maximum that can be raserized".
Photoshop opens a linked files with transparency incorrectly, also there is a trouble with masks. Now i forced to split this AI file on the layers and open it layer by layer in photoshop and correct all these in there. but if there are masks, then i have to
do a double work..
What can i do to export it? to 375 dpi

How do you do it basically? i set a linear size 1 to 10 ie 600h300mm, make all i need, in Photoshop i set the resolution - 300 dpi, raster elements and other also in the same size (and here i have to ask - why are you setting so high resolutions?).
All prepare, EXCEPT the fonts on the top of the CROP MARKS and export to TIFF and if my computer that allows, set 300, if not then 150-200-100. Then convert the font to EPS, open in Photoshop my TIFF, impose eps one each other, stuck together in a single layer,
stretch to 600h300sm, resolution - 72 or 50 dpi, look 100% fonts, save everything. Am I lose something? Try just follow this.
Another what you can try is to open AI file in Photoshop with the necessary dpi. If you do not want, then while exporting from Illustrator uncheck Anti-Alias, but the picture turns out "toothy" accordingly.
And the last I can recommend is to run a third-party. Some of them can be really useful.
Recovery Toolbox for Illustrator isn’t bad
https://illustrator.recoverytoolbox.com/
but be careful and try the demo first. And read closely about its requirements and the things it can recover. Peace to you!

Color shift when exporting to tiff

Hi,
I have a vector image which I created using multiply transparency layers, however when I export it to tiff or import it to psd, the color changes (it gets darken). The ai file is in cmyk.
The image is intended for print and will most likely be place in a word document. How should I set the color setting/profile so that I could get a consistent color across the different file formats?
Thanks so mcuh for you guys help!!!!

Hi Kwaim
Please do a test:
You take an object and set multiply to interact with others, ok? So select that object and all object underneath influenced or token by multiply. Go to Object > Rasterize. Select high for the resolution.
After process, color changes?
If yes, stop and report me
If no, try exporting to tiff and tell me results

Help with exporting gradient background as jpg

Hi there! I'm totally new to this forum & very new to
fireworks, so go easy on me!
I am designing for QVGA smartphone/PPc screens & find
that when I create a gradient in fireworks MX (version 6) &
then export it as a jpg, on the phone/PPC screen the gradient is
filled with big blocks of colour rather than smooth transitions
between them, making the overall effect more like lines or blacks
of colour than a smooth gradient. I am exporting the jpgs at the
highest quality settings (100%).
Can someone help? Is it just my lack of technique when
blending colours? If so is there a tutorial somewhere? Or can I
export in a different format? The screens I design are controlled
by an xml layout file, & will accept .jpg, .gif & .bmp
Thanks!

Yes, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, the bit depth
could be the
issue. Try setting your monitor to 16 bit and experiment with
gradients
at that bit depth. Keep the color range and the tonal range
less extreme
(light blue to dark blue for example, rather than white to
dark blue)
similar an you might be able to get something a little more
pleasing.

In Lightroom 4, is it possible to change the resolution when exporting to Facebook?

Is it possible to change the resolution when exporting a photo to Facebook using either the regular plugin or Jeffrey Friedl's plugin? I can't seem to do it; I only have control over the image dimensions, not the resolution and the dimensions, as you can see in the screen shots below:
I have control over both when I export to my hard drive (or a flash drive, etc.), as you can see below:
I can't find the option to control the resolution when I try to export to Facebook. Before I got Lightroom 4, I would create whole new low-resolution files of images I wanted to post online using Photoshop. The image size settings I would use are a longest edge of 10 inches at 72ppi, and I would like to continue doing this. If I can only set the longest side to 720 pixels (I can't even seem to set the longest edge to an inches value - I can only choose a pixels value) and not change the resolution from 300ppi to 72ppi, then my photos' longest edge will only be less than 3 inches long (right?). Thus, I really want to be able to upload low-resolution photos to Facebook via Lightroom with the ability to change both the resolution and the image dimensions. Any idea how to do it without having to export to my hard drive first? Thanks!

I'd be inclined to set it to zero so it obviously doesn't mean anything
You can set it to whatever you like, and it makes no difference. Most of the time (depending on how you saved it), it will still open as "72".
When you save an image for web, the resolution is usually stripped from the file. It's simply not there anymore. That's probably what happens in the Lr facebook module, and that's why there's no entry for it.
But when you open that image somewhere else, that default of 72 ppi is assigned. Most apps need to know what to do with a file if asked to print it out. So there is a default, and that's usually 72, mostly by convention. With that default ppi, it prints out at a comparable size to what you see on screen at 1:1 display.
And when people see that, they think "hey, web images are 72 ppi". But they're not - that figure is just inserted there by the opening application.

Export Indd to EPS/JPG and set the file name for EPS/JPG file

Hi,
When I export the INDD to JPG/EPS, I want to set the file name with pageNumber for JPG/EPS files using javascript.
For Example
If I set the file name as EPSFile.eps, after exporting the indd(with 2 pages) to eps
,files are generating in the following name EPSFile_1.eps, EPSFile_2.eps.
but I want to set the file name as EPSFile_001.eps and EPSFile_002.eps using javascript.
anyone knows please reply for this.

Unable to save exported Aperture TIFFs as jegs when opened in Photoshop

I'm using the latest version of Aperture and need to do major retouching of the images I have edited using Aperture. When I "export versions" of the images, I normally choose "TIFF-50% of size" or "TIFF - fit within 1024x1024", but when I open them with Photoshop, after I worked on them I am unable to save them as a jpeg. The option just doesn't come up.
The only save options I am offered are - SAVE AS - Photoshop, Cineon, Dicom, FXG, IFF Format, Large Document Format, Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, PNG, Portable Bit Map or TIFF.
Any idea why this is happening and how I can rectify? I need to use photoshop for my retouching and I don't want to have to export RAW files from Aperture, it's much simpler exporting a TIFF.

The tiff is a 16 bit file. Go to images/on the photoshop menu and convert to 8 bit. then the jpeg option will show up.
Cheers

Why can I no longer save tiff and jpg files?

Don't know if I inadvertantly changed some setting but all of a sudden every time that I try to save a tiff or jpg file photoshop saves it as just a "file." I've been using CS5 for about a year now and have never had this problem. Any suggestions?

If you click on Save As and select an option what does it do?
My suggestion if this does not work properly is to reset the preferences. Hold down the Crtl + Alt + Shift keys and start Photoshop. You should get a reset window. It is a little tricky so keep trying until you get it.

How do I keep the same file size, going from tiff to jpg?

Going from tiff to jpg, how do I keep the same file size? Seems like I am not able to save the jpg´s in 16-bits... Thanks!

file size? you mean dimensions or file bytes ?
Jpg is compressed so it won't be the same
Tiff is losless / lossy format to get the better quality
as for 16bit jpg the format doesnt support it

Acrobat X Pro - Export multiple PDFs to JPG

In Acrobat 9 Pro I am able to export multiple pdfs to jpg using file--->export multiple.... In Acrobat X I can't seem to find this funtionality. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I tried this script and it did work but I needed to export to PNG rather than JPG. I could not see a way to do that without actual scripting, which I don't know how to do. So I opened the script linked here in Textpad and just changed "jpg" to "png" and it worked - happy day for me!

Losing resolution when exporting...

I have made a few movies using photos and video clips set to music. When I export them, either using Quicktime or sharing them with iDVD, they lose a lot of resolution. Is there a way to burn these movies to DVD without losing quality?

I used the Ken Burns feature on every photo (70 total). Some of the photos are 3264x2448(8MP), most are 2592x1944(5MP), and a few are scanned photos size app. 2711x2033.
Okay. Would assume the still are being stored in your project as 1920x1440 frames. (You can check this out for yourself and I don't know if working in PAL mode would be different that NTSC.) In any case, the stored image resolution will be the limiting factor for export resolution.
When finished, I exported the video in Large size 720x576. At this resolution the quality was very deteriorated.
Just finished making a dozen runs duplicating your work flow in Compressor Native PAL, Compressor Native NTSC, 768x576, 640x480, etc. and cannot duplicate you problem without doing something like using a filter to overdrive the contrast like this:
Preview in iMovie '08
Output in QT Player
Output w/Overdriven Contrast in QT Player
Apple Care recommended that I share with iDVD, but I got the same results. Then I started experimenting with Quicktime, which is where I am now. I have tried several different sizes, including my own concoctions with the custom function (1382x1036 is what I'm exporting at now, I want to keep a 4:3 aspect ratio).
As indicated above, you can open your project folder and check the "Still Images" QT file which contains your stored photos to see their resolution. Max resolution depends on your project import settings (e.g., 1920x1080, 960x540, etc.) and their orientation. In any case, this is the max height resolution to which you can export your project at optimum quality for its aspect ratio. Remember, however, that whatever resolution you export your project to will later be re-scaled in iDVD down to 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC) for burning to DVD. If you think the increased processing time is worth whatever increase in quality you may achieve, then go for it.
The resolution looks acceptable (once I shrink the movie down to fit on the screen), but as I mentioned the color saturation is too high. In the quicktime filters, I adjusted the saturation down to 80 percent, and reduced the red by 5. Still waiting on the results...
Still haven't a clue here.

Export as .tiff w/ embedded ICC profile support

Hello-
I usually hang out in the Color Management forums but thought this would be a better place to ask my question. I am trying to determine what the oldest version of Illustrator supports the Export as .tiff and allow for profiles to be embedded in the .tiff file. Any help would be much appreciated. I am trying to avoid having to find install source for Illy 7.0, 8.0 etc.
Best Regards,
Bryan

This gets better and better, Bryan.
Here is a screen shot of the TIFF Options dialog in AI 8 running on Mac OS Classic.
No embed option, just as with the Win version, however...
The resulting TIFF opened in Photoshop with an embedded profile -- in this case U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2, which is the printer profile setting in my AI 8 Mac.
I repeated the experiment in AI 8 Win, just to make sure. Sure enough, no embedded profile!
Yow.
