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!!!

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,

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.

Error encountered while reading TIFF image, Image may be damaged of incompatible. Resave the image w

I am currently running CS3, windows XP, service pack 2, with recent update, 5.03 installed today.
I just opened a 500 page document not in sections where 90% of the document is a placed PDF.
The PDFS were placed using a sample Script that came with Indesign, that instructs the PDF to automatically flow each page after another.
When scrolling through quickly in the pages pallette, I get the follwing error:-
"Error encountered while reading TIFF image, Image may be damaged of incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again."
I click OK.
Then I get the following error.....
" Could not complete request because of database error. The File "ABC.indd" is damaged (Error Code: 3).
Click OK....
Then I get the following error....

CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??
I had these errors before updating to 5.03 and the patch hasn't rectified anything!!

Open the .inx file in CS3 (that's what you have, right?) and save as a new .indd.
I'd also be tempted to open the tiff in Photoshop and do a save as to re-write it.
Let us know if it helps.
Storing files on the network leaves you more open tot he risk of file damage during transfer and save operations.

InDesign crashing when importing tiff images

I have upgraded to InDesign CC 2014. I have trouble importing some tiff images. InDesign crashes. Not all tiff images create problems. It depends on which version of Photoshop, they are saved in. If I open the image in Photoshop and saves again, there are not any problems. Our database is very large and contains several folders, so it is a big task to archive all images again, even if I create an action in Photoshop. I have searched, but I can not find any settings in InDesign that helps. Does anybody else has encountered this problem and found a solution?

ASk in the Id forum and provide exact system info, versions of PS, details about your files and so on. There is an issue with legacy color profiles in some cases, but beyond that I'm not aware of other problems that may be relevant here.

Is the tiff image sequence in premiere pro cs4 lossless?

is the tiff image sequence export in premiere pro cs4 lossless or lossy?

Hi,
Yeah, that IS an interesting question...When I looked into the quality exported individual frames I stuck it into photoshop and looked at the mode and image size to see what I was getting ...
I was kinda ( am still very ) impressed with the quality of the individual images Premiere exports in it's sequences.. and I suppose you could say it is lossless but in part that would be referenced to , " Lossless compared to what ? "
If I put TIFF images into the timeline to begin with and then got them out again, then it would probably be lossy depending on ppi going in. It's like 72 coming out.
But anyway, the quality is pretty darn good, I have to say...when you export TIFs...

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.

16 Bit Tiff Images Display Bug?

Question 1:
Is there a problem with Aperture 2.0 displaying 100 + mb 16 bit tiff images generated by a film scanner (nikon coolscan 4000 ed)? I am having trouble with my library that I migrated from Aperture 1.5. All of my images were working fine in Aperture 1.5 (and previously in iPhoto as far back as 2003). In Aperture 2.0 I am getting scrambled images and some images that read unsupported file format. The problem is sporadic. It effects some images and not others. Sometime images display correctly and sometime they become scrambled and unsupported, and then back again.
There is no trouble with the images themselves. I export them to CS3 with no distortion or trouble. The problem seems to be in Aperture 2.0.
I have re-built the library, tried migrating images, changed the color profile.... I think I have exhausted every trick I can manage from a user vantage point. The images work fine when converted to 8 bit files. This is not the solution for me - I need to keep these images 16 bit.
Question: Is this this just my version (I purchased downloaded upgrade), that is having trouble, or is this a wider problem that Apple aware of and is looking into?
Please advise. I have 1000's of scanned pictures that I have been working with for years that were fine and now are not. I purchased a new Mac Pro 2.8 so as to work more productively with these large images - and now it seems that the very software I rely on has failed me.
I have not been able to find any comments from Apple regarding this issue.

I've had this problem with images saved as 8-bit scans.
Are you using any compression in the TIFs? I scanned using Nikon Scan 4, cleaned up a bit in Photoshop 7, reduced the bit depth to 8-bit, and saved at TIFs with embedded colour profile using ZIP compression, Macintosh byte order.
This used to work with Aperture 1.5.6, but with Aperture 2.0 I see a kind of offset pattern, so a vertical line looks like this:
If export the master TIF, open it in Photoshop (where it looks normal) and save it with no compression Aperture displays it properly.
(I'm still using Tiger, so I don't think this is an OS issue.)

Fetch .tiff image via URL

Hi,
I am trying to fetch an image using the CL_HTTP_CLIENT class. My coding looks something like this:
TRY.
      " Create the HTTP client
      CALL METHOD cl_http_client=>create_by_url

        "close connection
        lo_client->close( ).

    CATCH cx_root.
ENDTRY.
The code is working fine when the url is pointing to a .jpeg file (and removing the set_header_field part). However, with an .tiff image url it does not work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am using the code in an assistance class to get the xstring representation of .tiff images. The xstring is converted using IGS and finally displayed in Web Dynpro ABAP.
Thanks.

Hi again,
this is one of the questions that I would have liked to avoid posting. It turned out that my links where copied from another system and therefore there was no document/image behind the link. Unfortunately, some of the jpeg images were real in the development system and that caused the differing behaviour.
The answer is therefore that the coding posted in this question works fine with .tiff images.

Converting tiff images into jpeg

I would like to convert tiff images into jpegs with iphoto. I dont want to duplicate all my photos and then have to delete one by one!
How do I do this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The short answer is that you cannot. You will have to export the files via the File->Export->File Export menu option, selecting jpeg as the format and checking the box to include the keywords and comments, and maximum size. Then import the jpgs and delete the tiffs.
You can get all of the tiff files together by doing a search for .tif. Then do a Select All (Command-A) and go to the export menu. Export all to a folder on the desktop. Import the new jpgs into iPhoto.
To get rid of the tiffs once the jpgs are imported do another search for the tifs and select all again. Then type Command+Delete. That moves the tiff photos to iPhoto's Trash bin. Then empty the bin.
If you have multiple files with the same file name you'll have to do some renaming before the export. You can batch rename them using the option Title to Date/Time or just date alone. I use the date taken as the file name as that gives me excellent chronological sorting and searching by filename for dates.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Edit .tiff images with IE

Totally new to this.
I was using the trial PSE8.
I frequently work with images from the Library of Congress (LOC), specifically .tiff images.
I'd open the image, click FILE and was able to then click on EDIT WITH PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 8.
It worked beautifully and I was ready to purchase PSE8 as a result.
Then version 9 was available so I thought I'd try it out before deciding which version to purchase.
Downloaded 9 today and went to grab some LOC images and when I click on FILE once the .tiff image opens, the EDIT WITH(...) is gone and the EDIT is not accessible.
Being a complete novice, I am unsure how to integrate (or whatever) PSE9 with IE so that I can once again edit these .tiff images with a click of the mouse.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks very much.

I should have said that the LOC's .tiff images open with Quick Time.
Right clicking on the image when it opens only offer option for settings, speed, language.
I have found a solution, though:
I opened a LOC image using Firefox and was able to save it and then open it using PSE9.
Thanks again for being helpful

Fixed: TIFF image display / import problems

Hello All,
I posted this in the discussion threads where I had previously discussed it with other members. But, felt that it would be good to share with everyone who is importing their photo's into the new iPhoto 6.
I, like many others, have been having a terrible time getting my iPhoto collection imported into the new iPhoto 6 program.
I have tried both the upgrade method (on a backup copy of my original library), and a fresh import of all my files.
Without fail, all of my TIFF images gave me trouble. Some looked like squiggly lines. Some looked like a diagonally distorted image (like you see on old Televisions trying to tune in difficult stations). And, some just plain refused to work.
All of my problem images look fine in the thumbnail (the library view). But, you quickly discover the problem when viewing the full-size image in the "edit" mode.
Some of my TIFF images are 30 megabytes in size, and many of them are smaller files of a more typical size. I found that the smaller files were just as unlikely to work as the larger ones.
And, while converting to JPEG may be an option, I didn't want to lose the depth and detail that TIFF offers (especially on pictures of documents / writing). The original TIFF images will offer greater detail when blown-up than compressed JPG files.
All of these images worked fine in iPhoto 5, and display perfectly fine in every other program. But, iPhoto 6 just refused to display them properly.
Well, I think I found the fix.
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.

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.

Hello All,
I have an update:
It is definitely not a user account issue. I just completed a fresh install of OS 10.3.9 on my Mac Mini.
I performed a fresh install (on a freshly formatted hard drive partition), and made the installation as bare as could be for the sake of preventing potential problems.
I installed OS 10.3.9, and all the standard items in the usual OS 10.3.9 installation. I specifically left-out all the foreign language stuff, all the online programs (for other ISP providers), and misc. garbage.
I also left off all the iLife programs (every iLife program) that came with the restore disks. I even left-off the original QuickTime installation. My thought here was that I wanted to make sure that there were no problems introduced by upgrading the original iLife Applications to iLife '06.
So, this way, all the iLife '06 programs are installed fresh with no upgrading being performed.
So, I installed this bare OS 10.3.9 installation. Then, installed all the updates that were available. I repaired permissions before and after each update. And, installed all the updates from downloads from Apple's website (Not using Software Update).
After verifying that Software Update could not find any additional updates available, I then installed iLife '06.
This required first installing Quicktime 7.0.4 from the iLife '06 DVD.
After installing QuickTime, I then proceeded to install the iLife '06 package (remember that this is a completely new iLife install - not an upgrade install since I avoided installing the older versions).
Once iLife '06 was installed, I then installed the recent 6.0.1 updates for all the iLife Apps.
Then, I launched the iPhoto program for the first time to see if it would properly import my TIFF images.
Unfortunately, it still displays them as if they are scrambled (like a blocked television / cable channel).
So, with that done, I can confirm that it is not a corrupt file or another program on my system causing the problem. It is definitely a problem with iPhoto 6 / 6.0.1 and OS 10.3.9.
Just thought I would post the update here for others to add to their knowledge-base. Maybe if we rule out potential problems we'll be able to find the actual solution.
Again, this same set of images imports just fine into iPhoto 5 on OS 10.3.9 and 10.4.4. And, it also imports just fine into iPhoto 6.0.1 in OS 10.4.5. So, it is a problem apparently specific to OS versions 10.4.4 and older using iPhoto 6 or 6.0.1.
As mentioned previously, these TIFF images can be made to import fine if I remove the ICC information from the image. So, that may provide some clue as to where the flaw is in the iPhoto 6 / 6.0.1 program.

A generic error occurred in GDI+ while assing tiff image file to Bitmap and Image

Hi,
I am getting "A generic error occurred in GDI+" error while reading the tiff image file to Bitmap or Image.
Below is my sample code.
string filePath=@"c:\Images\sample.tif";
Bitmap bmp=new Bitmap(filePath); // here getting exception
int totalpages=bmp.GetFrameCount(.....);
etc......
I tried using Bitmap.FromFile() and also from FromStream() even for Image also but there is no use.
Moreover i m having full permissions for the file path and the tiff file is having multiple pages.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue please.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore
Kishore

Make sure that the Tif file is valid (can other software open it)? If you are able to save a Tif using GDI+, try saving that Tif, then opening it. Part of me wonders if there is something about that specific Tif that GDI+ doesn't like.
You could also try using WIC to open the TIF, perhaps you would have better luck there.

How to add a text Component ( text annotation) to the Tiff Image

Hi.............
This is the first time I am using Sun Developers Forum.......................
My problem is.............I want to add a component ( Text or Label ) to the Tiff Image which is displayed on the JIMICanavs [ from JIMI API ].
Even , if anybody knows about How to add a component to the JIMICanavs , Please help me..................................

I'm curious: is JIMI still popular? What advantange does it have over the current Java 2D support in the J2SE, or over JAI?

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 move back photos from an external drive (but iPhoto library on Mac hd) to the Mac HD without reimporting all images again in iPhoto?

The following scenario:
Mac HD: iPhoto Libary
External HD: all photos which are shown in iPhoto
now I want to copy back the photos from the external HD to the mac hd and I want iPhoto to know the new location of all these photos (couple of 10 thounsands)
How do I do that without reimporting all images again into iPhoto
Thanks

do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or referenced library (you have unchecked that option)
What version of iPhoto?
Do you have Aperature 3.3?

Tiff images again.....
