Tga and tiff files

Hi Can IMOVIE HD load TGA and Tiff files *** theres some cool effects animations u can get http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SPECIAL-EFFECTS-DVD-VOL-12-Movie-making-Video-editing_W0QQ itemZ220018246079QQihZ012QQcategoryZ51344QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Just wanted to know if they would work.

as said: iM does NOT allow out-of-the-box two layers simultanously/alpha-chanel/keying...
you can teach iM new tricks with plug-ins, have a look here, "Matte-tastic", part of Geethree Slick 4 package:
http://www.geethree.com/slick/galleries/d_v4.html :
Use the Configure button to select a file. The graphic file can be PICT, JPEG, GIF, animated GIF and Photoshop image. . Video formats supported are QuickTime video files. Transparent alpha channels are supported
because, these files are stored as tga/tff, you need probably additionally QTpro, to make from many stills, a socalled image sequence, a QT.mov you can use in iM...
and as said, with QTpro allone you can add as many layers as you want....
honorable forum member wrote a book about the many features of QTpro, have a look here http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/book
to give you a clue, visit the pre-alpha website of my SWFan project... click here ... I add some explosions (using Final Cut Expresss...),, you get for free here Detonation Films (slow)... a very short sequence is seen in Teaser II... (project still in progres...)

EPS and Tiff Files are not open...

Dear All,
If we open the EPS or Tiff file in Illustrator CS3, we got the error message as in the screenshot which named as “Illustrator screenshot.jpg”.
If we open the EPS or Tiff file in Photoshop CS3, we got the error message as in the screenshot which named as “Photoshop screenshot.jpg”.
We unable to open the file both in Illustrator and Photoshop. Is there any other option to open the file? Please advice.
I’ve attached the images and screenshots for your better reference.
Thanks in advance.
Kumaran. P

These files are completely corrupt. I got the same error messages you did in Illustrator and Photoshop.
The EPS files look quite hopeless. (They do not remotely resemble EPS files when viewed in a text editor.) The TIFF file opened in IrfanView. I've resaved it as a JPEG and attached it here. You can see that it's truncated.
You didn't mention how you obtained the files.

Bridge Plugin: Make comments and see layers in PSD and TIFF files

I've been searching the interweb thin for Bridge plug-ins without luck.
I work in a production company and we have a quite intense QA process meaning that we compare images against each other and return feedback to editors.
So instead of cycling through applications it would make our life so much easier to just stay inside adobe bridge.
What I'm looking for is a plugin for Adobe Bridge with following attributes:
1. leave comments and notes on images
2. See layers in tiff and PSD files
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this request, but I figured that this was the best place to ask.
Ps. it is not important what version of Bridge it will be compatible with (but preferable cs6)
Best regards
Mick

These feature requests better be placed in the correct location:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
You also might get a better answer but I'm not sure what way you need to leave comments and notes. You already have the option to label and rate the files and of course you have the IPTC Metadata to leave comments in (e.g. IPTC status / instructions).
As for the request to view layers, that would be nice but certainly not easy to realize. But it might be useful to extend this request in more detail, about how would you see them. Currently the preview window has a max of 9 files to view in one panel, would you see them scrollable or together in one window? Some layers have only masks or brush corrections in masks, would you see them in the same way as in PS using alt click on a mask?
The more detailed you make your feature request the better chance in getting more votes and better replies in possibility etc.

How can I change RAW and Tiff files to jpeg in Aperture 3

How can I change RAW & Tiff to jpeg in Aperture3

The purpose of Aperture is storing and managing image files including RAW and TIFF, generally users don't change the image format once it is in the library, there is no need.
If you want a jpeg version of an image for use elsewhere, you simply export it from Aperture, there are numerous ways of getting images out of APerture depending on what you plan to do with them, e.g. File>Export>Version gives you a lot of choices as to the format and quality of your exported file.

Rendering PSD and Tiff files in Shaked

Bonjour. All of my psd and tiff renders in Shake are creating invalid files, i.e. that can't be opened in Shake itself of Photoshop etc.
Anyone have a line on this? Open exr and jpeg files render fine.

How does ACR save edited JPEG and TIFF files?

When a JPEG or TIFF file is edited in ACR, are the edits destructive when you click the "Done" button, permanently changing the file? Or is the edit info saved in sidecar files like with edited RAW files, not affecting the original file?
If I reopen a previously edited JPEG file in ACR, will the adjustment settings be the same as where I left off, allowing me to change those edits, like a crop or HSL adjustment? Thanks.

First: There is a Camera RAW Forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw
Second: It should be fairly simple to test your hypotheses.
And on my station at least it appears the data is stored in the file and not as a sidecar-file.

Exif tool and Export Jpeg and Tiff files

I run Lightroom 4.4 under Apple OS X10.4.4
When I export files Exif Tool (in Graphic Converter) under ICC header shows for Jpeg "Primary Platform = Microsoft and for = Tiff Apple; and under ICC Profile Color profile for Jpeg = HP but Adobe 1998 for Tiff. I can see that there is a difference between the profile for Jpeg and Tiff (eg sRgb and Adobe1998) but don't follow why the Primary platform differs and shows Microsoft for Jpeg and that the jpeg profile is HP. Can anyone explain, please, and dose it matter anyway? Thanks Clive

A overview of ICC profile tags is here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/ICC_Profile.html
Why the difference in the PrimaryPlatform tag, I don't know, it does not matter.
The ProfileCopyright tag is HP for sRGB, Kodak for ProPhotoRGB and Adobe for AbobeRGB (1998) of course.

Email keeps flattening the layers on my psd and tiff files

Hi,
My friend and I both have macs that run Leopard 10.5.6, and we both have Photoshop CS3. When she sends me a psd file through email, I can open it in photoshop, and see all the layers. When I create a psd file with multiple layers, I double check that it's saved properly by reopening it, and still see the layers. When I send it to her through email, she gets a flattened image with just the background layer. Same thing happens with tiff files. I don't think the problem is with the photoshop because the layers are all there and fine until I send it through email. Does anyone have any ideas on this one?
Soma104

Ah yes, I think the option changed from "Create Archive" in Tiger to "Compress" in Leopard.
I'm not sure why the original problem only manifested one-way for you. It may not even be your computer - there could be a process in your outgoing mail server, or your colleague's incoming server, which affects the attachment. I've seen corruption with binary files before when sent through email, and converting them into ZIP files did the trick.
Also, if you're regularly transferring large files, you might want to look into an alternative to email, such as a shared file server (eg an iDisk, or a third-party hosting site, using FTP) or a professional file transfer service such as YouSendIt, or even sending through IM.

Quicktime and tiff files

I use a windows 7 laptop. In the course of my week I view many tiff files. I have the default program for tiff set as windows photo viewer. Nonetheless, Quicktime always comes up. I wouldn't mind, but I cannot view all pages, and sometimes nothing shows. So each week I have to remove Quicktime in order to view my tiff files in Windows Photo Viewer. Very, very, frustrating. Any thoughts?

Excellent news, Bulent!
I hope Quicktime does not, later, try to take over again.
Good point ... next time you do a QuickTime update directly from the Website:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
... very near the end of the install, there should be a screen with a "Configure File/MIME types" button. Click the button, go to the MIME types, and make sure that that TIFF image entry is unchecked. That should avoid the problem in future.

Can I automate the writing of XMP metadata into JPEG and TIFF files?

I have written an ASP.NET 3.5 website application on behalf of an annual international photographic competition. Entrants will be uploading digital photos in either JPEG or TIFF format. Ideally, I would write entrant identity and image title information into the XMP metadata for each image immediately after upload - but so far, I have failed to find any way to do this in ASP.NET.
Thousands of images are involved, so I need to find a way to automate the metadata insertion, perhaps with some sort of script that uses a text file (extracted from the SQL Server database on my website) as the source of the metadata for a batch of images. Is this the sort of task that can be done by writing a script for Bridge CS3? Are there any scripts already in existence that I could use? I am a total beginner in this area.
I use a Win XP PC, though I have a colleague who, I think, has CS3 on his Mac (running under the Leopard OS), so scripts for either platform might be usable.

PS CS5 and PSD and TIFF files

I.m working on a project and noticed when I went to save a file as a tiff it asked if for pc or mac. If I save as a pc will that tiff be able to be opened on a mac?
After seeing the options on saving the tiff came up with another question - the psd files when saved can they be read on either the pc or mac?
TIA
John

You might want to read the dialog, and the manual.
That's only asking for the byte order -- and it really doesn't matter unless you're sending the TIFF to a buggy program that ignores the byte order in the file.
PSD files work just fine on any platform.

Can't save TGA and GIF files with layers

Hi,
I'm using Photoshop CS5 for Mac, and when I try to save files as TGA or GIF, the Layers option is not available and the result is a flattened, single layer.
• Files I am working with are 8bit RGB.
• Photoshop is set to 32bit, not 64bit.
• There are no extra channels other than RGB.
• Switching files to indexed color doesn't help because it asks to merge all layers.
• I can open Gif files containing layers, but I can't then Save or Save As with layers.
All help appreciated, and thanks in advance.
Below is the save dialog box as it appears when i try to save a Gif or TGA.

GIF does not support layers.
Animated GIF files may open as layers into Photoshop. You need to save them again as an animated GIF file after manipulating them in the animation panel. The 'Save for Web' function would be most ideal.

I use images for presentations. Recently I've noticed a decrease in quality ( sharpness and definition) of pictures copied into Keynote. Same problem with both JPEGs and TIFF files. I've recently upgraded to keynote 09, but with no improvement.

I use images of paintings for presentations. Over the last 3 months or so I've noticed that I cannt copy images (either JPEg or TIFF) without a reduction in sharpness and definition. Hope someone can help with this problem.

Figured it out myself! yay! (only took my entire moring)
The solution:
Dont print to PDF!
SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

ACR and tiff file

I convert with a third party tool some images in tiff (linear gamma) and I want edit them in ACR.
Is better keep them in linear gamma or is better convert them to a gamma corrected color space before import them in ACR?
Internally ACR works always in linear gamma even with jpeg, right?
Marco

> my first edit in PS on linear image is tweak the exposure with a linear curve. Make the exposure slider in ACR the same thing?
These are vastly different.
1. The "exposure" adjustment in ACR increases the raw pixel intensities, like increasing the exposure would have done. This is a linear adjustment
b before the non-linear mapping.
Consequently, the linear adjustment becomes non-linear in the converted data.
Try it out: increase the exposure in ACR by one stop, then two stops, etc. and watch the displayed RGB values at the picker: very dark spots almost double, while bright spots increase only little.
2. The "linear adjustment" in PS works on the mapped data.
Try it out on several GREY spots: move the top right corner of the straight line in "curves" to the middle of the top edge (this corresponds to +1 EV). Make a selection on a dark spot and watch for the average under the histogram; turn the adjustment layer on and off. The RGB values got doubled. Now do this on a middle dark area: the same happens. Then pick an area close to but less than 128: you get close to 255. Try it with an area over 128, no matter how intense: you get 255.

The availability of color space in RAW, TIFF and JPEG files

This is useful if your new to DSLR photography.
This is Nikon response on my question in the discussion: View photo metadata
I'm assuming that you know that Adobe RGB shows about 50% and sRGB 35% of CIELAB color space.
In a DSLR camera like the Nikon D800 you can select a color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) in the shooting menu.
In Adobe Lightroom 4.3 the RAW metadata shows no color space info. Therefore I asked why not?
In the (Dutch) Nikon D800 manual on page 84 (about RAW) and 274 (about color space) and Nikon FAQ website there is no descripton about the color space availability/behavior in RAW, JPEG and TIFF files.
In the book "Mastering the Nikon D800 by Darrel Young" on page 125 - 126 is written: "If you shoot in RAW format a lot, you may want to consider using Adobe RGB....."
All experts on this forum answered: color space does not apply/affect the RAW data file or RAW files have no color space.
The respone of Nikon Europe Support (Robert Vermeulen) was: In Nikon D800 NEF RAW files both color spaces (Adobe RGB and sRGB) are always physically available. In JPEG and TIFF files only the in the shooting menu selected color space is physically available. So the forum experts gave the correct answer!
Of course you can convert afterwards a JPEG or TIFF file with sRGB color space to Adobe RGB but you don't get more colors.
When you install the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack or FastPictureViewer Codec Pack they only show color space metadata for JPEG and TIFF files and nothing for RAW because color space "doesn't exist". I thought the codec packs removed the color space metadata for my RAW files.
Adobe Lightroom also can not show color space for RAW files because that "doesn't exist".

I still think this is an evasive answer that doesn't really pinpoint the exact chain of events that take place. They are:
1. The raw file contains the naked data captured by the sensor. This is just a very dark grayscale image.
2. In the raw converter it is encoded into a working color space to process the information. In Lightroom this is known as "Melissa RGB", or linear gamma Prophoto. It is also demosaiced to bring back the color information.
3. From Lightroom it can be exported to one of the familiar color spaces like sRGB or Adobe RGB. This is, in principle at least, a normal profile conversion.
These three steps are what the camera does to produce a jpeg. So the basic steps are the same, the camera is just doing it automatically (and usually butchering the image in the process...).
This Darrell Young is, I'm sure, an excellent photographer, but in this he is seriously confused and just propagating a common myth. Anyway, thanks for bringing up this discussion, hope you didn't object too much to the tone of the answers... Our only concern here was to get this right and with no room for misunderstanding.
