Tiff Image Print Speed

I have an applet that prints multi page tiff images. I notice the print method takes about 5 seconds per page using g.drawRenderedImage(image, atx). I am using a AffineTransform to scale the tiff to the correct size for the page.
My questions is, what is the fastest way to achieve this, I need to be able to renderer the page much faster than that.
I am using Java 1.4.1 and JAI on windows.
Thanks in advance
Daryl

What printer are you using? If it is on that uses PCL, then consider yourself lucky that you can get it to print in only 5 seconds without going through JNI.
I usually send the print to a different thread, that way you can continue manipulating the image.

How to increase the speed of Zoom on TIFF image

Hi everyone,
i m doing zooming operation on tiff image.
when i applied zoom in operation on image which have properties
Bit per sample =1
Image Length = 2200 Pixel
Image Width = 1700 Pixel
Resolution(x) = 200 dpi
Resolution(y) = 200 dpi
then it require 2 sec.
then i apply the same code with tiff image which have properties like,
Bit per sample =1
Image Length = 3300 Pixel
Image Width = 2500 Pixel
Resolution(x) = 300 dpi
Resolution(y) = 300 dpi
then it require 9 to 10 sec.
my code is:
RenderedImage src= oriRndImage[selectedButtonIndex];(orirndImage is Rendered
Iamge)
//Transfer Current RenderedImage object into BufferedImage object
Raster ra= currRimage.getData(); //it take time.
DataBuffer db = ra.getDataBuffer();
SampleModel sa = ra.getSampleModel();
ColorModel cm = currRimage.getColorModel();
final BufferedImage currImage = new
BufferedImage(cm,Raster.createWritableRaster(sa,db,null), false, new
Hashtable());
//Create new Bufferred Image
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(zoomW,zoomH, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g = bi.createGraphics();
double scaleW = (double)(zoomW)/(double)(prev_width);
double scaleH = (double)(zoomH)/(double)(prev_height);
transAtZoom = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(scaleW,scaleH);
g.drawRenderedImage(src, transAtZoom);
can any one plz suggest me the way ,how to increase the speed. of Zoom effect?
how to handle this problem?

How to do batch printing of multi-page TIFF images

I have TIFF images stored in the database as BLOB. The TIFF images can have one or multiple pages. I need to do batch printing of these images using Oracle Web Reports 6i in a 3-tier web environment. I was able to print single-page TIFF image by using an "Image" datatype; however when I print multi-page TIFF image, only the first page is printed.
Is there a way to achieve my requirement in Oracle Web Reports 6i. If not, can you please suggest any alternative method. Our environment is 9iAS Release 1 on Windows/2000, Oracle 8.1.7 db,Forms 6i and Reports 6i.
Thank you.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I'm currently fighting this same issue. Only the first page of my multi-page TIFF documents are printing.

Print Multi-page TIff images

Hi,
I have multipage tiff images. I am loading the image in the jScrollPane. I also have NEXT Button which
show the next image of the tiff file in the JscrollPane. Right now i have a PRINT button which prints the
image that's in the jscrollpane. I want to do something which prints the all the images in that tiff file.
Instead of the image that's in the jScrollpane. If you need the code please let me know.
Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks.

Java returning incorrect values for width and height of a Tiff image

I have some TIFF images (sorry, I cannot post them b/c of there confidential nature) that are returning the incorrect values for the width and height. I am using Image.getWidth(null) and have tried the relevant methods from BufferedImage. When I open the same files in external viewers (Irfanview, MS Office Document Imaging) they look fine and report the "correct" dimensions. When I re-save the files, my code works fine. Obviously, there is something wrong with the files, but why would the Java code fail and not the external viewers? Is there some way I can detect file problems?
Here is the code, the relevant section is in the print() routine.

Figured it out. The files have a different vertical and horizontal resolutions. In this case the horizontal resolution is 200 DPI and the vertical is 100 DPI. The imgage width and height values are based on those resolution values. I wrote a section of code to take care of the problem (at least for TIFF 6.0)
 private void setPageSize(int pageNum) throws IOException
 IIOMetadata imageMetadata = _reader.getImageMetadata(pageNum);
 //Get the IFD (Image File Directory) which is the root of all the tags
 //for this image. From here we can get all the tags in the image.
 TIFFDirectory ifd = TIFFDirectory.createFromMetadata(imageMetadata);
 double xPixles = ifd.getTIFFField(256).getAsDouble(0);
 double yPixles = ifd.getTIFFField(257).getAsDouble(0);
 double xRes = ifd.getTIFFField(282).getAsDouble(0);
 double yres = ifd.getTIFFField(283).getAsDouble(0);
 int resUnits = ifd.getTIFFField(296).getAsInt(0);
 double imageWidth = xPixles / xRes;
 double imageHeight = yPixles / yres;
 //if units are in CM convert ot inches
 if (resUnits == 3)
 imageWidth = imageWidth * 0.3937;
 imageHeight = imageHeight * 0.3937;
 //convert to pixles in 72 DPI
 imageWidth = imageWidth * 72;
 imageHeight = imageHeight * 72;
 setImgWidth((int) Math.round(imageWidth));
 setImgHeight((int) Math.round(imageHeight));
 setImgAspectRatio(imageWidth / imageHeight);
 }

How can I merge two TIFF images in one...?

I need some help please, I am looking for a way to "resize" black & white single TIFF images.
The process I need to do is like cutting a small image and paste it over a new blank letter-size image (at 300 dpi), like a template.
Or better yet, is there a way to do something like this...?
Open image...
image.*width* = 2550;
image.*height* = 3300;
image.save();Some APIs and topics in the internet do or talk about resizing, but the final images get stretched or shrinked and I need them not to do so at all.
Also, I do not need to display the images, only to get the TIFF images processed and saved back to a file.
How can I do this with Java and JAI? Unfortunately I am almost new to this and I don't know how difficult it might be to deal with images.

If 2550 x 3300 isn't the original aspect ratio of the image, then the image is going to looked streched or shrinked in at least one dimension. There is no way around that. It would be like resizing a 2 pixel by 2 pixel image into a 3 pixel by 6 pixel image. The image would look like it's height shrunk or it's width stretched. Had I resized it to 3 pixels by 3 pixels or 6 pixels by 6 pixels, though, then it wouldn't look shrunken or streched.
Open image...
image.*width* = 2550;
image.*height* = 3300;
image.save();*1)* To open a TIFF image you can use the javax.swing.ImageIO class. It has these static methods
read(File input)
read(ImageInputStream stream)
read(InputStream input)
read(URL input) You can use which ever method you want. But first you need to install [JAI-ImageIO|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html]. The default ImageReaders that plug themselves into the ImageIO package are BMP, PNG, GIF, and JPEG. JAI-ImageIO will add TIFF, and a few other formats.
The downside is that if clients want to you use your program on their machine then they to will need to install JAI-ImageIO to read the tiffs. To get around this, you can go to your Java/jdk1.x.x_xx/jre/lib/ext/ folder and copy the jai_imageio.jar file (after you've installed JAI-ImageIO). You can also obtain this jar from any one of the zip files of the [daily builds|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html#Daily_builds]. If you add this jar to your program's classpath and package it together with your program, then clients won't need to install JAI-ImageIO and you'll still be able to read TIFF's. The downside of simply adding the jar to the classpath is that you won't be able to take advantage of a natively accelerated JPEG reader that comes with installing JAI-ImageIO (instead, ImageIO will use the default one).
*2)* Once you've installed [JAI-ImageIO|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html] and used ImageIO.read(...), you'll have a BufferedImage. To resize it you can do the following
BufferedImage newImage = new BufferedImage(2550,3300,BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY);
Graphics2D g = newImage.createGraphics();
g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
g.drawImage(oldImage,0,0,2550,3300,null);
g.dispose();Here, I simply drew the old image (the one returned by ImageIO.read(...)) onto a new BufferedImage object of the appropriate size. Because you said they were black and white TIFF's, I used BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, which is a black and white image. If you decide to use one the BufferedImage types that support color, then a 2550x3330 image would require at least 25 megabytes to hold into memory. On the other hand, a binary image of that size will only take up about one meg.
I specified on the graphics object that I wanted Bilinear Interpolation when scaling. The default is Nearest Neighbor interpolation, which while fast, dosen't look very good. Bilinear offers pretty good results scaling both up or down at fast speeds. Bicubic interpolation is the next step up. If you find the resized image to be subpar, then come back and post. There are a couple of other ways to resize an image.
Note, however, if 2550 x 3300 is not the same aspect ratio as the the TIFF image you loaded, then the resized image will look shrunk or stretched along one dimension. There is absolutely no way around this no matter what resizing technique you use. You'll need an image whose original dimensions are in a 2550/3300 = .772 ratio if you want the resized image to not look like it's streched (you can crop the opened image if you want).
*3)* Now we save the "newImage" with the same class we read images with: ImageIO . It has these static methods
write(RenderedImage im, String formatName, File output)
write(RenderedImage im, String formatName, ImageOutputStream output)
write(RenderedImage im, String formatName, OutputStream output)You'll suply the resized BufferedImage as the first parameter, "tiff" as the second parameter and an appropriate output for the third parameter. It's pretty much a one line statement to read or write an image. All in all, the whole thing is about 7 lines of code. Not bad of all.
Now as for the 300 dpi thing, there is a way to set the dpi in the Image's metadata. I'm pretty good at reading an image's metadata, but I've never really tried writing out my own metadata. I know you can set the dpi, and I have a somewhat vague idea how it might be done, but it's not something I've tried before. I think I'll look more into it.

How do I Convert a Tiff image to a jpeg without being FORCED to 8-bit Color?

I am an Artist. I have High quality TIFF images. When I convert the tiffs to jpeg it forces me into 8-bit color automatically. (Forget about 32bit - it will not allow me to jpeg that at all) The only way I can get back to 16bit color is to use the already SMAshed file and bring it up to 16bit. THIS makes NO sense. Once the jpeg is smashed, HOw in the world is it supposed to convert up again. ?? Then even though it says you converted the file to 16 -bit , the metadata refers still to the file as 8-bit.
On top of all of that confusion, One picture, for example, when supposedly converted to 16bit, gets much BRighter then even the original Tiff image. It looks good on one hand and over exposed on the other. I assume that is photoshop throwing in fake resolution, am I right?
Am I wasting my time with this imaginary 16bit conversion?
Is there ANY way to take that original Tiff image and convert it to 16bit jpeg without the Default 8bit? I have been trying all kinds of things. I even have asked my web guy. My web guy says that 8-bit is unexceptable for printing, even for web.
Could this have anything to do with my computer and scanner?
I have the iMAC OS X 10.8.3 (3.2 GHz) 8 GB memory.
And I also have an Epson Expression 10000XL graphic arts scanner capable of scanniing at 48bit color.
This color stuff Really matters! It MATTERS! I HAve FINE art files. I am already losing so much quality with the jpeg conversion. (which I am required to do for SmugMug, in addition to compressing all my files to 50mb or Under)
Anyone who knows anything that could help me would be much appreciated.
Aloha,
-Melissa

First of all jpeg is 8 bit only there is no way to save as a 16 or 32 bit jpg, just does not exist. Secondly people print in 8 bit all the time and most if not all web graphics are in 8 bit as that is the only way to view it as there is no 16 bit or 32 bit monitors to view it. All but a few pro monitors are 8 bit monitors.
If you care about the color gamut and want the full range of color that 16 and 32 bit provide, then why jpg? Jpg by its own nature throws out color just to compress, thats why it is popular on the web, because of its small file size not its quality. If you need 16 or 32 bit for anything it must be in a format that supports that color depth.
That being said a jpg image at 8 bit will display 16+ million colors, 256 shades of red, 256 shades of green and 256 shades of blue.
Now here is where I think your bit information is off. a jpg image is a 24 bit image that will produce 8 bits of red, 8 bits of green and 8 bits of blue.
The 8, 16 and 32 are per channel not total color information.
If the overall image was 8 bits, the image would be gayscale.

Acrobat 7.0.5 for Windows -- Problem creating a PDF from a TIFF image

I have a user who is attempting to create a PDF from a TIFF image using the Adobe PDF print driver (Acrobat 7.0.5). His computer is a 3.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 with 1 GB of RAM. His operating system is WinXP Pro SP2. The TIFF file he is trying to convert is about 2000 pages long. Is this even possible given the hardware and resources I've described?

Sorry, I should have been more explicit...The TIFF image is a multi-page image and is stored in a database here at our office. The user has a proprietary (internally-coded) viewer that's used to open the image from the database, and there's no way to save the image locally. The user wants to be able to search within the image, so he converts it to a PDF. Ordinarily, this works very nicely, but this is his first time trying to do it with an image of more than 1000 pages length.

Changing the fonts in Print using ABAP is not possible. as basic report output is a text editor.
By changing "Customizing of Local Layout" will only change in display screen and not in print.
One possible way to create a new printer formatr thry SPAD and use that format in while printing.
to know more details about SPAD
Using SPAD - SAP Spool Administration to print different paper size
The SAP spool system manages its own output devices. This includes mostly printers, but also fax and archiving devices. In order for you to use output devices defined in your operating system from the SAP System, you must define these devices in the SAP spool system.
Print to a dot matrix printer using computer paper with 66 lines
Define paper types
Formatting process Z_60_135
Page format DINA4
Orientation tick both Portrait and Orientation
Type in the comment and click save
Device initialization
Device type - OKI341
Formatting process Z_60_135 then click Execute
Double click Printer initilization
You must key the 66 lines hexadecimals for your printer. ( line no 9)

Tiff images not display properly

After installing iPhoto 6, none of the 1600 files in .tiff format imported via a Lexmark scanner are showing up correctly. (They worked perfectly well in iPhoto 5)
I get a blurred scribbled squashed image a little like a TV channel that hasn't been set correctly.
If I go back and click on the files in the Finder, they open beautifully in Preview.
This lead me to believe there was an issue with the tiff-format and I promptly converted a copy of the files to jpegs.
Unfortunately this left me with a new problem as three white lines now appear thru all the pictures in jpeg format.
Luckily I never deleted or moved the .tiff files, so I am still hoping to use those.
Will there be an Apple update which fixes this or will I have to re-scan and date/title- another (sigh) 1600 pictures? (please, someone tell me no)
Best wishes,
N

I think I found the fix.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I have also been having trouble with TIFF images and iPhoto 6.
Today I downloaded the new iPhoto 6.01 update. But, that didn't fix the problem either. So much for Apple fixing it.
Anyway, I have been experimenting, and finally found a difference between images that worked and those that didn't.
The images that worked, have an ICC profile embedded in them from the device that created the image (in my case my scanner).
So, I set out to find out if simply removing the ICC profile would fix the problem.
And, through my experimenting, I found that if I opened the image in another program, and then exported it as either a TIFF (the same format) or a JPEG that the resulting image would open in iPhoto 6 just fine.
Further examination demonstrated that the ICC information was removed from the exported file.
As I understand it, ICC is basically an image color correction / calibration tag. It enables different devices to properly display and print the image with the proper colors.
Basically, each device has a color profile (scanner, monitor, printer, camera, etc.). This is to make sure that when you see something on the screen that it looks the same as when you print it out. Likewise, you want the image on the screen to match what the scanner and digital camera saw.
So, these are essentially conversion tables to make sure that each device properly displays or prints the image as the original source "saw" it.
Anyway, not wanting to manually strip this information from each file, I looked on the Internet for an automated solution. And, fortunately I found one.
http://www.colormanagement.com/technicalresources/files_targets_and_utilities/mac_os_xscripts/
The file you are looking for is "Mac Os X ColorSync Toolbar Script: Remove ICC profile". Click on the title just mentioned to download the script.
It is a Macintosh Script that you simply download to your desktop (or anywhere else you would prefer). It is in a Stuffit Archive, so you'll need Stuffit Expander to decompress it (basically the Mac equivalent of a ZIP file).
Once decompressed, you should see a "script" icon that is labeled "Remove Profile".
Simply "drag" your original files and drop them onto this icon / script. The script will then remove the embedded ICC information from the image file.
Once you have removed the ICC information from your image's file, try importing it into iPhoto 6 again. Then, see if it works
It is important that you perform this on a backup / duplicate copy of your original files. You don't want to damage your only copy if something goes wrong.
Now, one further note: If you do this, you may see the image looks different. In my case, the image is truer to the way it really looked when I scanned it in. The paper texture looks right now.
If you want to do this while keeping the image's appearance the same as it looks now, then here's another way:
Open the file in Apple's "Preview" program. This is usually the default image view.
Then, do a "Save As" or "Export" to create a new copy of the image. If you perform an Export, be sure to set the image quality high or you may inadvertently reduce your pictures detail (especially if you export to JPEG).
This essentially does the same thing. But, it will take more work if you have multiple images.
Using the previously mentioned script, you should be able to drag and drop multiple files in a group.
Anyway, I hope this helps the rest of you out.
Let me know if it fixes the problem for you as well.

Setting image dpi size of tiff Image

Can anyone suggest me a method for setting the size of tiff image to 300 dpi.
I got the following code

But the image dpi size remains the same after this

Why do you think the dpi remains the same after using the code in the link?
Any given printer dosen't necessarily have to honor the dpi setting in an image format. In fact, usually the image viewer used to print the image takes control of the physical size of the image.

Problem in tiff file Printing

hello,
I am trying to print tiff image using JAI(Java advanced imaging). I am able to perform all the required operations for that including zoom in, zoom out etc. But I am facing problems while printing the same. These files I am getting from the byte stream or byte array (Data being recieved using TCP/IP). I am able to print using one of the code samples available on the net.
http://www.geocities.com/larryhr/samplecode/samplecode.html
File: JAIImagePrint.java
Only modifications i made in the code provided is, I have scaled the image.
Now I am facing 2 problems:
1) I want to set minimal margins from all the sides of page on which I am printing. (A4 size) So it should print on almost complete page.
2) The images are of varying sizes. So whenever I print, I get it of different sizes.
It would be really nice if someone help me resolving this problem.
I need it very urgently.
Thx in advance,
Nitin Mishra.

Dear BK,
For print out PO, our system just using the sapscript only. How can i check it?
Dear GK,
The message status in ME22N / ME23N are green light which means that is completed, right?
Please kindly give more advise on it.

Trying to work on TIFF images currently in my HD in several sub-folders without changing the originals or their location. I have a Mac and am using LR 3

I have many TIFF images on my HD within a folder and sub-dividedinto 30 sub-folders.
I wish to select several images from a variety o f the sub-folders then edit them and place them in a new working folder that can be transferred forprinting. I want to retain copies of the edited images and the orginals in their location in my Pictures.
So I'm looking for a step sequence that will assuresafety ofmy originals and giveme newly edited verisons toprint.
I originally odwnload theseimagesfrom a flash drive andit took 9 hours.
What timeframe can I expect to move the images into LR from my HD???
I assume I will retain the same folder/sub-folder organization --is that true??
How do I transfer the edited images --probably between 10-20 of them to start with--to a newly labeled folder that can then bemovedto either aflash drive , extrenal HD or one or more DVDs to take them to a print lab?? What's the best way to do this??
I've looked at the basic LR tutorial but it leaves out may steps that I require.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated
Marty

Thank you Jim . I suspect you're right --that i'm over thinking this. But i just don't see the step-wise path to follow to get from here to print ready group of selected photos
So you're saying just import them into LR and I can access any or all of them there ??.
Will the import take hours or minutes ( recall that I have over 500 TIFF images   distributed across 30 sub-folders)???
Edits i do there will be saved but my originals will also remain ??
    Do I simply select one image at a time to develop and save until I have the 10 or more I want for the moment then put those edited images into a new collection??????
OR
   Do I select and move the ones I want to edit and put them into a collection, then edit them image by image and finally transfer ( e.g. via flash drive or external drive etc) to get them printed???

Batch process to Tiff Image

I have several hundreds of psd documents every now and then and I need to print them out to black&white TIFF format. Is there a way that I can do an automation in FW CS4? I know how to get them into greyscale from Bridge but I am looking for Black&White Tiff image. is there a script that I can use? I haven't got to scripting experience yet. Can you help? I really appreciate your helps.

Just so we're clear, Fireworks is a screen graphics application and it may not be particularly efficient if you try to batch process a huge number of high resolution images.
That said, you can probably create a custom command to do what you want, and it doesn't require programming knowledge. FW already has batch commands for resizing, renaming and exporting files, so the only piece you need to add to the puzzle is sharpening.
Open a file in Fireworks. Using ONLY key commands, apply the unsharp mask filter. TAB through the input fields rather than using your mouse. Fireworks records keyboard commands, but not options selected with the mouse.
When you have the sharpening you want, tab to the OK button and press enter on the keyboard.
Open the History panel (Window > History)
Select the Filter Image step and click on the disc icon at the bottom right of the panel. This lets you save the shrapening as a custom command. It will appear at the bottom of your Commands menu in FW.
Now go back to Bridge
Select your images
Choose Tools > FIreworks > Batch Process
Your images will appear in included files window at the bottom of the Batch wizard
Click next
From the Batch options pane, add the processes you want:Scale, Export and fromthe Commands section choose Convert to Greyscale and your unsharp mask custom command.
From the Include in Batch pane, set the order of the process to Convert to Greyscale, Scale, Unsharp Mask and export. Select the Scale command and change the settings as desired at the the bottom of the wizard window,
Select the Export command, choose custom from the settings area and then click the edit button so you can choose TIFF. When you've adjusted the settings to your liking, click OK (You willnot see an image preview when you alter these settings).
Click Next and choose to export the files to a custom location, so you do not overwrite your existing files.
If you like, choose the Save Script button to save the entire process as a custom batch command.
Click the Batch button, and go have lunch. ;-)

Tiff images again.....

I need to place TIFF images in a Forte Object to display on a client window.
Does anyone have any tips or code that you would be willing to share that
can help me do that. I checked with Forte the other day and found they do
not support the TIFF format.
Thanks much,

Wow ... very, very helpful responses. I wish I'd posted this earlier!!
I had no idea that EPS was an older file format, or that PDF was considered a "legitimate" graphics format. Sibelius 6 only exports to EPS, TIFF (yuck!!), and PNG. However, I did discover that it "prints" to Adobe PDF. Odd that the option is located in an unexpected file menu, but very glad it's there!! The PDF format loads fine into InDesign and also prints beautifully, unlike the PNG option. Yay!!
As far as embedding fonts, I had been making sure this option was checked (when exporting from Sibelius), so it seems unlikely that was the problem. So in theory that would mean it's not a problem of the InDesign font cache, or of a font discrepancey. In practice ... who knows. What's particularly puzzling is that some EPS files are fine, while others were not; and also that CS2 had no problems with any of them.
Regardless, the font information is really, really good to know ... I'll save this thread for future use!
Thanks so much to all for your generous help!!!
