Tiff to JPG or PNG converter

Is there a program that can convert a group of TIFF formatted images to something else, like JPG or PNG? Right now what I'm doing is opening up Preview and then having to save each image one by one, which is time consuming. Is there a command line utility that I could do this with, or is there anything in OS X that does it?
Thanks.

If you're talking about screenshots - you can set what format they get saved to using the "defaults" command in a Terminal window (Terminal.app is located in the /Applications/Utilities folder). For example to set the type to jpg (or png or tiff or pdf or not sure what others are possible - perhaps someone knows all the types that can be used):
     defaults write com.apple.screencapture type "jpg"
If you want to change the location the screencaptures get saved to:
     defaults write com.apple.screencapture location "~/Desktop/Screenshots"
then you need to
     killall SystemUIServer
good luck..........

  • TIFF or JPG to PNG or RAW (Automator) Utility?

    I am coming from PC and see that I am still having issues with somewhat reflexively exporting images from Aperture (for upload to an ftp site or for other reasons for instance) - and I see that I now have images both on my desktop and in my Documents folder that I need to import into Aperture.
    I'd like to convert all these to PNG just to clean things up.
    Does this make sense?
    Thanks,
    Jon

    First of all, it is not really necessary to convert your images to an uniform format, if your only purpose is to import them into Aperture. Aperture can manage with a variety of formats.
    And with each format conversion you might loose image quality, and even increase the amount storage needed, e.g. converting jpg to raw will gain you nothing, but will only increase the image size.
    Thus said, an Automator script (very bsic) to convert images might look like this:
    Open Automator and select "New -> Workflow"
    From the Library select: "Ask for Finder items", drag it to the Workflow panel
    Drag "Copy Finder Items" to the workflow panel
    From the Library Photos Section select: "Change Type of Images",  drag it to the Workflow panel and select the coding you want: jpg, tiff, ...
    Save the workflow, and run it
    I have posted a copy of the workflow here: http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/convertImages.workflow.zip, but right now kabelhosting.net does not seem to be working ...

  • How to convert pdf , psd files to jpg or png

    Hi All,
    how to  convert PDF, Ai, EPS, CDR, PSD,BMP, GIF, TIF, TIFF to jpg or png image format

    Acrobat or any otehr tool does not have any automatic translation. You will have to convert your PDF to an editable formatz like a Word document and translate and clean it up there, then export it back as a PDF.

  • How do I batch convert .ai to .jpg or .png in Bridge CC 2014?

    I have found where you could "Export" them out in older versions of Bridge but no "Export" function exist in CC 2014.

    You could do it like this: http://www.santoshgs.com/blog/189/how-to-batch-convert-png-to-jpeg-using-photoshop-cs2/
    But can I be honest? I'd do that with a more efficient and far faster conversion utility like IrfanView. Photoshop is incredibly slow for this type of work. For example, I did a quick test to demonstrate the difference in performance:
    folder with 10 images in jpg format, 5600px by 5600px. Simple jpg to png batch.
    Photoshop: over six minutes.
    IrfanView: one minute and 40 seconds.
    That's a rather big difference - and with large numbers of images I just do not have the time to wait for Photoshop to finish the job. It's too slow.
    Another issue is that during the conversion process Photoshop cannot be used - while with a simple conversion utility you can leave it running in the background, and continue to use PS for other work if required. This matters if you have hundreds of images to convert.
    Btw, Irfanview (windows only) is free to download @ http://www.irfanview.com/
    The batch processing you can find under File-->Batch Conversion <b>
    ImageMagick is also free and open source. It is a command line tool, and easy to use for conversions.Will also work on a mac. But it is much slower than IrfanView, a tad faster than PS.

  • Converting a pdf to jpg or png

    Hi all
    I need to convert pdf file page into an image of either jpg or png format.
    Thought pdf-tools.com is offering some java API to do that (which i have tried with trial version, working fine).
    is there any free API either from ADOBE itself or some other open source projects?
    please do let let me know
    Take care

    Hi,
    I've already used iText to produce nice PDF's via a WEb Application using Java Servlets.
    You can import images (jpg, png) into the Pdf you are creating.
    But I'm doubt that you can convert the PDF files created to image files ?
    I would be interested about the functions to use within iText in order to achieve that.
    Thanks

  • How to convert postscript file to jpg or png

    Hi,
    I have to convert the postscript file into jpg or png image and need to display it in GUI.
    Can anyone suggest me how to do it or is there any third party jar available in java so that i can make use of it.
    Thanks & Regards

    i'm not sure what you're trying to do but:
    1.  if you have flash pro, you can open the fla and publish bitmaps of any display object
    2. rename the fla extension to zip and unzip it to utilize its bitmaps.

  • How do I convert file to gif, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp, or swf

    I mad a page in COMIC LIFE. I saved it, then when i went on photobucket.com, it gave me a message saying
    The file "" does not have a valid image extension.
    Valid image extensions are: gif, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp, swf.
    HOW DO I CHANGE IT?
    Thanks

    I have never used Comic Life, so I can't tell you how to do it from there. But you could open it in Preview. Control-click the page in the Finder and choose Open with... set it to Preview. Once in Preview, do a Save As and change the Format there.

  • How do I stop iWeb turning my .jpgs into PNG's ??

    Hi
    No one on a PC can print out my iWeb pages because when I drag a pic into iWeb it auto makes it a PNG. (unreadable from some PC's) How can I stop this from happening so that people can print ok from my site?
    Thank you
    Jim Rhodes
    http://web.mac.com/jimpsky/iWeb/Craiganor/Craiganor.html

    Thnx Mark
    I figured iWeb might be doing this and it seems impossible to fix. Here, as always I optimize all my pics in PS for the web as jpg,s. I've noticed iWeb actually makes some of my pics bigger! after optimizing if I resize the pic in iWeb. It shouldn't do this anti optimization.
    I have another site on a different .mac account that, after growing past a point, now converts all the text to jpg so no text can be copied. http://web.mac.com/hueynrolf/iWeb/BWA/Home.html
    but still here no PNG file conversions.
    The "Craiganor" site in question, was added to an existing iWeb project (Domain) ;
    http://www.rospalmerinteriors.com/RosPalmerInteriors/news.html
    Rospalmerinteriors, published to a .com and mirror on .mac, works well. With a little tweaking i managed to prevent it from converting text to jpeg and no auto jpg to PNG conversions. The Craiganor site does convert the jpgs to PNG!
    1. Is this occurring because Craiganor is the second site ? I suspect so.
    2. Will rebuilding the site (would rather not) in its own iWeb Domain Solve this?
    2. If so and I rebuild the site with it's own Domain, separately publishing Rospalmerinteriors and Craiganor to the same .mac, will I encounter functionality problems with the .mac specific aspect ?
    Many thanks

  • Adobe X PDF files converted to jpg, edited and converted back to PDF have ragged, unclear text.  I didn't have this problem with Acrobat 9 standard.  What is the remedy for this.  If this is the best I can expect, I won't be able to use X standard.

    I can't imagine any worse workflow than converting to JPEG to edit text, then back to PDF. Text in a PDF is a vector thing, smooth at all resolutions. And JPEG is made for photos. EVERY conversion to JPEG and back loses quality but how much loss there is will vary.
    If you must go to an image format, try PNG.

  • Photos changed from jpg to png?

    I just bought a new iphone 4 from the Apple store because my old iphone 4 had a broken power button that could not be replaced. This iphone was working fine- it updated to iOS 7 and all of my contacts and apps synched onto it fine. Now I'm having a problem with my pictures. When it uploaded the pictures I had on my previous backup, it uploaded them in png format, not as a jpg. Now every picture I take on the iphone 4 is in png format which will not upload onto my iphoto on my MacBook Pro (which is from 2009). Ang suggestions on what to do?

    Since an iTunes upgrade in May 2011, iTunes converts jpg to png if the artwork is added to multiple tracks using the get info window.  Artwork added to individual tracks in the get info window, or artwork added to multiple tracks in the artwork box on the browser (the lower left corner where it says "Drag Artwork Here" if there is no artwork).
    Now, to add jpg artwork to multiple tracks, the artwork has to be added via the artwork box on the browser.  If there is existing artwork, this must be deleted first or the new artwork will not replace it bet will be added as a second file (this can be seen on individual track in the get info window).
    The problem with conversion to png format is that the size is increased (doubled or more).
    There are two problems with adding to the artwork box for multiple tracks.  First is the issue that previous artwork must be deleted since adding to the artwork box does not replace existing artwork.  Second is an issue which occurs if you are also playing tracks while adding artwork.  This is due to another problem with iTunes; that the artwork box changes automatically from "Selected Item" to "Now Playing".  If it is set to "Now Playing", the artwork is added to that track, and not the selected tracks.  Also, it takes a short time to add the artwork, and if iTunes switches to the next track in the middle, it stops adding artwork to the selected tracks..
    So, to add jpg artwork to iTunes, you need to do the following:
    1. Delete existing artwork from the tracks.
    2. Make sure the artwork box title is "Selected Item" and not "Now Playing"
    3. Drag new artwork to the artwork box
    4. Make sure the artwork box does not switch to "Now Playing" while artwork is being updated.
    I recommend not playing tracks while adding artwork, to avoid problems with either updating the wrong tracks or not completely updating the selected tracks.
    And I wish iTunes was changed back to the way it was.  Using the get info window did not have these issues.

  • JPG to PNG?

    Hi,
    My designer just sent me some background texture files in jpg format but they actually need to be in png. Am I able to convert these jpg to png without losing quality, or do I need to ask her to generate the png from the original file?
    Thanks,
    KiSS

    Yes, in general.
    The only hurdle would be transparency. JPGs do not support transparency. So if you need transparency, and the originals have transparency, you would be served by going back to original images.

  • TIFF and JPG Files Are Black?

    I have posted this question twice before but didn’t get it resolved. I really need to get some help on this.
    I have some old projects that I use in the classroom while I am teaching. They are TIFF images and often have sound clips with them. I create slideshows and then convert them to tracks. This has been working really well.
    Suddenly, all TIFF or JPG files are black. Old files in old projects and new ones I import are all black. PICT files are okay and I am doing new projects using them, but I cannot go back and edit old projects because all of the TIFFs are black.
    Can anyone figure out why this happened and how to resolve the issue?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    I have seen this when I save over a graphic while the fcp project is still open. The tifs come back inside fcp when I restart the app then trash my render files. If these are really old fcp projects try disconnecting your media (the tif and jpeg files), trashing your render files then reconnecting your media using the locate tool.

  • Changing .bmp to .jpg to .png

    Hi,
    I have a bunch of .bmp files that need to be converted to .png files. Some of the .bmp files cannot be made into .png files without being converted to .jpg files first.  The first action does the .bmp --> to .jpg.  The second action finishes up the process converting the .jpg to .png.
    I would make the change over into one long action: Process1.  But when I convert one file to another and save to another location, I need to open that same file name with the different extension and then run the second process.
    So I've got two separate actions now and run one after the other.  Being on the lazy side, you know, one less click is a wonderful thing..., can I combine the actions or is there a way to do Process1 all at one time?
    thanks for all help!

    make an action that saves a file to .png and then run it on the rest of the files. If you want to save using 8bit png then use File->Save for Web & Devices and make sure that you select png-8 otherwise use File->Save. Note that if you save using the Save for Web & Devices command then you will save all your files in the folder specified by it, it cannot be overriden using the Batch command. If you save the file using 24bit png(using File->Save) then when using File->Batch to automate the process make sure that Override Action "Save As" Commands is selected and select the folder where you want to save your files

  • Rotate JPG or PNG

    Hello
    I'm doing a website and a i have to put some images imported
    from a file (by actionscript), the problem is that the images must
    be rotated, but when i rotate the images loses quality, for example
    the lines look like stairs lol. (sorry my bad English, lol). The
    image looks great when strait, but when rotated... :s
    What i'm doing wrong? I import the image to a holder by
    loadMovie, the holder is the exact size of the image and i have
    tried to import jpg and png, and the problem is the same... I have
    tried to put the jpeg quality to the max and the movie quality to
    the best... No changes...
    Can any one help me?

    Hey guys, I've been following this one a little and got to
    thinking about using some methods from the BitmapData class. As it
    turns out, you can increase the quality of the image in rotation
    somewhat, by converting it to a BitmapData Object and then applying
    the rotation, this is a little cumbersome, but does seem to have
    the effect of increasing the image quality. I've set up an example
    comparison code here, using a jpg image at 72 dpi res, from my
    sever, just as an example, try it with some of your own images as
    well and see what you think, I think it shows improvement. Here's
    the code, just set a Stage to 600x400 and it'll do the rest:
    PS. the image on the left has not had the bmp conversion.
