Saving a file as a TIFF

Hi All,
I am new to this so not sure how it normally goes...
I am having a problem with saving out a file I have created in ID. I need to save it out as a TIFF but just noticed that this isnt an option in ID.
I need to create a file which is 140 cm x 180 cm and save it as a TIFF as this is the only file format my digital fabric printer will accept. The finished file will consist of some text but mainly images and vector graphics. I did try and make the file in AI but when i tried to save out as a TIFF at 180 dpi a message popped up....
'the combination of artwork and resolution exceeds the maximum'
Does anyone have any tips or a way around this? I am quite new to Adobe so not sure which program would be best to create such file.
Thanks,
KK

Thanks thats great. Would you recommend I use ID or AI for this type of file in future?

Any advantage to saving a file as a tiff or pds when first working on it?

I have a point and shoot camera that takes great pictures but only saves in JPEG format.
I've been using PSE 10 to process them but I've been wondering if there would be some advantage to immediately saving them as TIFF's or PSD's when importing them? I'm thinking specifically about loss of clarity or crispness.

Before I shot raw I only captured jpegs. I learned a while ago that you can process a jpeg image in ACR, but you've got to remember that the jpeg is a compressed image that will already have had certain criteria addressed in camera (brightness, contrast, sharpening, etc.). Raw images are totally unprocessed (and non destructable) so they're akin to the negatives you used to have with film.
Where ACR can be really useful when processing jpeg images is with the wider range of exposure adjusters at your disposal, e.g. Temperature, Exposure, Recovery, Fill Light, Blacks, Brightness, Contrast, Clarity, etc. You'll be amazed at how much information you can pull out of an underexposed jpeg using these tools, as opposed to the simple Levels adjustments in PSE. When you're done in ACR you just click Open as usual and the image appears in Editor for further tweaking. Finally, having cropped and sharpened, you can then save it as a jpeg image.
The quickest way to open a jpeg in ACR is as follows:
Open Editor
Select File>Open As
Select Camera Raw (from the drop down menu at the foot of the window that has just opened)
Locate the jpeg file from your hard drive (or wherever)
Click Open and the ACR page will appear with your picture ready for processing
Proceed as you would with any other raw file
Good luck!

Why is one TIFF pixelated when saving .pages file as .doc?

Hi, when I save my Pages file as Word '.doc' format (using the standard 'save copy as' method, OR exporting as .doc) one of the high resolution TIFFs in the file always shows up pixelated, the other is sharp.
Do you know why one TIFF would be pixelated, and how to get them both showing sharp after saving the file as a Word .doc?
Both TIFFs are 300dpi CMYK, but are different sizes (the sharp one is smaller).
Thanks!

when I save my Pages file as Word '.doc' format (using the standard 'save copy as' method, OR exporting as .doc) one of the high resolution TIFFs in the file ... Both TIFFs are 300dpi CMYK, but are different sizes
The thing is that .DOC is the file format for versions of Microsoft Word which were developed to work with the Windows GDI Graphics Device Interface, the counterpart of QuickDraw in Mac OS 9.2 and lower.
Neither GDI nor QuickDraw are capable of colourant formats other than RGB. There are tried and true ways around this in prepress,
1. do not pick TIFF, JPEG, PICT or BMP file formats that are processed by GDI and QuickDraw, but pick a file format that is not processed by GDI and QuickDraw (EPS, PDF).
2. pick a colour managed path through GDI and QuickDraw so that CMYK tagged with a source ICC colour space is converted into some form of colour managed RGB which in turn can be converted back into some form of colour managed CMYK for whatever printing condition is to be chosen (whether by a third party driver installed in the OS or by other means).
There are other possibilities, as Peter mentioned, but transparency isn't supported in GDI and DOC any more than CMYK is supported. And to go back to the beginning, why in the world are you trying to work in CMYK when you in all likelihood have no knowledge of the ink limit, graybalance and paper for the intended printing condition? You should be working in ICC colour managed RGB.

SAVING AN ILLUSTRATOR FILE AS A TIFF IN PHOTOSHOP

I´m designing a billboard on illustrator and its very big, the printing company is asking me to send the file as a TIFF. I did the design on a scale 1-10 because the real size of the billboard is 15mts X 6mts, now I have to convert the artwork into a 7.5mts X 3mts with a 300 resolution and save it as a Tiff. How do I do this in photoshop and how do I save it as a Tiff? what is the aprox. final file size as a Tiff. And one last question, what format should I use to save the file from illustrator. After saving the file do I have to open it or place it.
Thanks, I really need HELP!!!

You can save your IA file as a tiff directly from IA using File>Export.

Saving image files - TIFF file extension wasn't acceptable

Hello!
When I save an image on my iMac the default situation appears to be that the file has a TIFF file extension.
Please review the post I recently made here: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/why-are-tagged-image-file-format-tiff-fil es-unacceptable-here.370185/#post-2426799
I should be grateful if someone can shed some light on my conundrum/confusion. It should be self-explanatory!
Any help will be gratefully received!

Hello again So sorry for the delay in replying to folk for the helpful responses.
If one re-visits my original link one can view a response - in essence, look here:- https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090125135844AAwqjkB
After some reflection, I decided to do nothing at all! However, today I looked under 'Grab' preferences and found that there is no way to change the image format of a screen capture. BUT ..... I then looked under 'Grab Help' and found this ....
Save screenshots: After taking a screenshot, choose File > Save, enter a name, add a tag (optional), then choose a folder. Screenshots are saved as TIFF files.
Convert a screenshot to another format: Open your screenshot in the Preview app. Choose File > Export, click the Format pop-up menu and choose a format, then click Save. For more information, see Convert graphics file types.
So I now know what to do if/when I need to switch to another format!
Many thanks to rkaufmann87 and Frank Miller2 - your guidance is much appreciated,

When saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?

when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
thank you

It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step.

Can't Open Photoshop-saved RAW file in Photoshop...

I've just gotten back from my school's library, where I was using one of the scanners to scan my negatives. I scanned the files directly into photoshop CS3. In retrospect, I absolutely should have saved in tiff, which has worked before, but this time I saved the files in raw. This is Photoshop Raw, not Camera Raw. I assumed that I could open these files back on my home computer (Photoshop CS4), but apparently I was wrong. If I try to open any of the raw files, I get a dialogue box called "Photoshop Raw Options", and if I hit "OK" I'm told something about missing color profiles, then I'm given an image of gray noise. If I change any of the settings in the dialogue box (files were saved at 16-bit grayscale with Mac byte order), I am told that "Specified image is larger than file," and I can't open the image.
What's going on? Why can't I open in Photoshop files that I just saved in Photoshop? Have my past few hours just been a total waste?

jbz2105 wrote:

Yep, pretty much unless you know the exact size and can correctly fill out the required dialogs required to open a Photoshop "raw" file. The "raw" format is not, as you've found out related at ALL to Camera Raw. It's really a holder over format from the early years used back when there weren't some file formats available on some computer systems...and yes, you SHOULD have used TIFF.

When opening a previously saved png. file how do you show its layers?

I was trying to save a large file as a Photoshop PDF and my program crashed. I was lucky enough to have saved this file in both a JPEG and PNG format onto my desktop but now once I move the files back into Elements, I have no history and no layers?

No, that's right. History is only for the current session--any time you close a file its history gets cleared. And neither jpeg nor png files can have layers. If you want layers you need to save as tiff or psd. (PDFs can be layered, but not the basic pdfs that PSE can create, and PSE can't deal with a layered pdf file as a layered file, either.)

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'.

Im trying to save my CS6 files as PDF documents. When I save my files as PDF some texts or images disappear or deform.
Is there anything i'm doing wrong?
Is there a setting I need to change for saving my files so they don't change?

Hi,
Which operating system and version of photoshop cs6 are you using?
You can find out the exact photoshop cs6 version by going to Help>System Info from within photoshop and looking at the very first line that says Photoshop Version.

Hi,
I did a research on your error message and it seems this problem was introduced with MAX 4.6. This version switched to a new error reporting mechanism and reports even errors that are which are not critical to your task.
These errors typically show up as "unexpected" and if your error falls into this category have a look to this KB for further assistance.
If it doesn't fall into this category, your could try to go back to the MAX 4.5 or 4.4.. Of course you would need to reinstall some components and might not be able to use newer drivers at all.
Let me know.

How to set jpeg resolution when saving pdf file as jpeg

I'm running Acrobat using interprocess api, I can invoke a script to save a pdf file as JPEG, but I need to be able to set the resolution of the saved jpeg file.
Any clues as to how I can do that ?

Hi
I am running a stand-alone version of Framemaket 10.I try to convert a documentation with a lot of screenshots in it. Regardless of the settings on the Reference pages of the first document of the book, Framemaker converts all graphic files to *.gif, and these are downsized so much that they become illegible. I would like to have them converted to JPG, with little resolution loss, so they are still readable.
I think Robohelp is too expensive…

Photoshop CS6 program error saving layered files

I recently updated my adobe software and I am still getting issues with saving layered files. I keep gettting program error - only occasionally. Sometimes saving to my desktop works and other times it doesnt. Other coworkers are experiencing same thing ever since they updated. It happens when working on a layered file for any length of time and need to save it out as a layered photoshop file. We are forced to flatten and save as a tif and loose our layers. I think it has something to do with background task but not sure...

Drag the file to your desktop, open the file there, do your edits, save, and then drag back.
Let us know what you are working off. If server, what server software are you using. System preferences >> spotlight, uncheck all items.
