Tiff files save as sgi

In Photoshop CS6 when I save a TIFF file it saves with the .sgi extension. When I save a png it saves it with the .raw extension. I haven't had this problem with previous versions of PS. I'm on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8. I also noticed that I have a plugin in the Plugins folder that's called SGIRGB.plugin. Any ideas about what's going on with saving in these file types or what this plugin is?

You've mixed plug-ins supplied with an earlier version of Photoshop into those enumerated by Photoshop CS6.
Likely as not you did this by copying plug-ins from an older version, or perhaps by setting an Extra Plug-ins Folder in the Preferences - Plug-ins section.
Undo that and you'll correct the problems you're seeing.
Note that Photoshop CS6 now does not populate it's installation area Plug-ins subfolder with any files at all, so any files you find there are those you have added.
There is no trivial way to just get your plug-ins from an older version into the newer version. Take the time to update them and install them afresh.

Unable to save a tiff file (save over)

I have rendered some images with a 3d program and saved as tiffs.
I will open the images in Photoshop and select SAVE. A message states "unable to save, the file is already open or in use". As a result, I will have to save a copy and rename it. What is weird is that I am unable to throw away the original TIFF. When I empty the trash a dialog will say "items are in use and can not be thrown away." Any ideas?

if you can't trash them after restarting the computer and they are not locked use cocktail to trash them.

Extension for tiff files - tif vs tiff

I have encountered some (for me) confusing behavior. I have been working with both aperature and photoshop cs4. When I take a file from aperture to cs4, aperture creates a file with the extension.tiff. when I then save the file after working on it in photoshop it saves with the extension .tif. that is to say, Aperture uses 2 'f's and photoshop uses 1 'f' which results in two files. Is this related to option choice in the Tiff save panel or something anomalous with aperture.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have played with this a little more and this is what I found. The file created by aperture has the tiff extension. If photoshop is set up to open all tiff files using camera raw, then when editing is complete and the file is saved it will be saved using the save as dialog even if save is selected, and the tiff file saves with a single f by default. The second f can be added in the save dialog box in which case it asks if you want to save the file that already exists. Save over the original tiff file and the edits will be visible in aperture.
On the other hand if camera raw only opens tiff files with adjustments, the the save command saves directly in which case the two f extension is maintained.
Apparently use of camera raw causes the save as dialog box to come up the first time the file is saved. Thus one can either add the second f in the dialog or forgo the use of camera raw for tiff files being brought in from aperture.

How do I get PSE 12 to save a TIFF file with file extension ".tiff" instead of ".tif"?

I am using PSE 12 as an external editor for Aperture. When I ask to use an external photo editor, Aperture creates a .tiff file in my Aperture folder, launches PSE 12 and tells it to edit that .tiff file. This all works great. When I am done editing in PSE 12, I ask it to save the file and it saves it back to the original Aperture folder with a .tif extension. I can instead say "save as" and then it suggests the file name with a .tif extension. When I correct the extension to .tiff it warns me that I'm going to overwrite the file (exactly what I want!). I say yes and then I find out that PSE did not overwrite the file, but wrote it as a .tif file anyway. I have to go to the folder, delete the .tiff file and rename the .tif file to .tiff and then everything is fine - but what a hassle. Has anyone solved this problem?

That's not quite where the problem lies, which is good, because you can't change that. The real solution is that you don't ever want to see the save as window in PSE if you are using PSE as external editor for any program. When you see it you aren't creating a version for your asset management program. Go to the PSE preferences>saving files>on first save and choose to save over existing file. That should do what you want.

Save as a 16 bit TIFF file for Enlarging?

Question, a local photo developer told me that if I wanted to develop my photos at something like 16 x 20 or larger I should save my photos as a 16 bit TIFF file. Elements 4.0 does not seem to allow me to set the bits at 16, just 8. Is there any truth to what they are saying?
Also isn't the file size going to be massive when doing this. Most likely prohibiting an upload to their site?
I am shooting with a Nikon D50 in RAW format. Obvioulsy I have to open it in Elements from Camera Raw as an 8 bit photo to save it in either TIFF or JPEG format.
Any comments are appreciated.

Thank you for your comment.
When I save the 16 bit file in ACR it saves it as a .dng file. When I open the .dng file in Elements again the raw editor opens it as a 8 bit file automatically. This may be all well and good if I can have enlargements made with this file type but not good if what the developer is telling me is true. ???????

No option in adobe reader 9.2 when opening a pdf file to "save as" a tiff file

Hi, I want to save a pdf file as a tiff file. I have Adobe Reader 9.2 and windows xp. In the Adobe website, it says I can export or convert a pdf file into different formats. However, when opening an existing pdf file, there isn't an option to export or "save as" in the Tools menu or in the Preferences under Edit. The reason I want to save a pdf file into a tiff file format is because when I use the program Microsoft Office Document Imaging to open a tiff file, it allows me the option to move selected pages & save it as a new file. In a pdf file, I have to save all the pages as one file & I don't necessarily want all the pages. My only other option is to print the selected pages I want from the adobe file document and then scan it into a tiff file but I would hate to use paper just for that purpose.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

You can use a tiff printer driver:

Edits to a JPG Smart Object in a layered TIFF file: DOES NOT Save to the originally placed file?

When placing a JPG as a Smart Object (and even multiples) into a layered TIFF file: If I open each layered Smart Object JPG, make changes as a JPG and SAVE the file, I expect the ORIGINAL SOURCE JPG file that was placed to also be saved- I thought that is the file I was editing!
This SUCKS! To capture my edits to the original individual files: I now have to open each layed TIF file, Edit each smart object JPG and SAVE AS to overwrite the original and capture my changes? Is this the way its always been- I don't think it has. How can I edit a Smart Object file in a layered document and ALSO update the SOURCE file?

You should edit the original jpg, and then replace the smart object. There is a utility that makes this easier, if you do many of these. Looks liek this

How to save raw images as TIFF files on Adobe Bridge?

I am trying to upload my raw images from my camera onto Adobe Bridge and save them as a TIFF file. But it does not give me that option and simply automatically saves them as JPEGs.
Where is the option to keep them as raw, large TIFF files?

This is the Adobe Reader forum. Your question is concerning about what software?

I try to save a pdf as a tiff file and get the message the image is to wide to output?

I am trying to save a map I have in PDF format as a Tiff file. When I "save as other - image -tiff I get the message:

If it is a map, you likely already have a bit map. In that case use Export all Images to get the original bitmap back.

CS6 Mac - cannot Save As tiff file

OS X 10.7.3
CS 6 Beta
Open a raw file (CR2), not as smart object
Edit
Save (psd format is the default)
Save As: same name, but choose tiff format
Result: Save As dialogue adds "mpo" as an extension, and the next dialogue is one for JPGs.
1) loading a TIFF file and then trying to Save As a TIFF file with a different name has the same outcome.
2) Saving works properly with my TIFF files. Only Save As fails.

Myron-
Just to clarify, you can't point your plugins to the plugins for an older version of CS5 and expect the program to work properly. In CS6, the default plugins are in a different directory in an effort to make it easier for you to tell what plugins are 3rd party and that you have installed separately. When you point your additional plugins folder to the CS5 plugins, you are pointing to duplicates of many default plugins, which does not make the Mac os very happy. If you make a new folder and set it as your additional plugins folder, you can install your 3rd party plugins there and you will not have the issue with duplicate files or the file save issue.
Hope that helps-

Does ACR save JPEG & TIFF files like RAW files are saved?

I know ACR saves RAW file edits to side-car files, not permanently changing the original file. Does ACR do the same for JPEG and TIFF files when they are opened, edited and saved? Thanks.

I wonder if Kelby could have been confused by the fact that the metadata describing the Camera Raw settings is being stored back into the JPEG file. The key is that the JPEG file is indeed re-written, but the actual image data is not changed.
Here's an experiment you can try for yourself:
1. Start Photoshop, and choose File - Open As...
2. Change the type to Camera Raw, and choose a JPEG file that you have on your disk, and press [Open].
3. When Camera Raw comes up, push the Exposure control all the way to -4.00 EV and press [Open Image].
4. Note that it's very dark, as expected.
5. Close the document, do not save.
6. Note that the JPEG file has been updated on your disk by seeing that its date and time are current.
7. Choose File - Open As... again and open the same JPEG file.
8. Note that the Exposure control is set again to -4.00 EV and the preview is very dark.
9. [Cancel] the Camera Raw dialog.
10. Open the same JPEG file from Windows Explorer using the Windows Photo Viewer. Note that it is NOT dark. The original JPEG data is still intact, as bright as it ever was.

Tiff Viewer which disables print, copy and save TIFF file

I am looking TIFF Viewer solution which woul disable any print, save and copy functions for a TIFF file. Thisfunctionality is available for PDF but I need to disable print, copy and save for TIFF files.
Would anyone know a TIFF viewer or solution that supports the following functions:
1)      TIFF viewer where we can turn off any options to print the TIFF file or save it to disk. That would include disabling any options where the user could right click on the TIFF and save the file somewhere else.
2)      It would need to be able to open multi-page TIFFs.
3)      It would be nice if the TIFF viewer could be run on both Mac and Windows platforms.
I need to send files to users for view only, and these should be in TIFF fomat, not converted into a PDF.
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Sapna

The same answer applies to any kind of file.
You need a Digital Rights Management solution. Very expensive.

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.

Acrobat 9 automatically converts .TIFF files to .PDF - how do I disable?

Why is Acrobat 9 opening .TIFF files as a .PDF? I would like it to remain a .TIFF instead of autmoatcailly converting to a .PDF. This happens when I click on .TIFF images on the web, or save them as a .TIFF locally. I've not found an option under preferences that would toggle this. The dozen or so other workstations here do not behave this way (we have to go through a print-to-PDF converting process if we want to convert). Thanks!

Thanks for the fast reply! I checked and confirmed there are no TIFF viewer programs installed aside from Acrobat (and the defaul Microsoft Picture Viewer and Microsoft Document Viewer). Acrobat 9 is the default TIFF and TIF viewer too. Not much is installed on this machine. Here is a screen capture of the programs.
