Write tif file color table

Hello:
I am trying to write a 16-bit tif file with the proper color table using Vision utility. I cannot get the proper color table. I can save as other formats but have special requests for 16-bit tif.
I have attached an example VI to show you this including a test color table and image. I will cross post in the Vision forum also. Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Don

I want to read tif file and encrypt it by aes. who can help me?

I have several questions:
1. Is there a java api to read and write tif files. this api can read the header of tif(IFH) and add something into the header.
2. Is there a java api to encypt the stream of tif file by AES?
Thanks a lot!!! every superman comes here and helps me.
Thank u

How can create color table for "write bmp file.vi"?

i want to create a color table for a 8 bit bitmap.The color table is the input of "write bmp file.vi". how can i make it?

There is a color control on the front panel numerics palette. A color
in LV is a four byte xRGB formatted number. So you can make an array of
the color numerics and set them by hand or format the numbers however
you like. If unwired it will use the LV color palette which is pretty
much the HTML palette.

How to load color table in a indexed mode file??

How to load color table in a indexed mode file??
Actually, if i opened a indexed file and want to edit color table by loading another color table from desktop (or any other location), any way to do this through java scripting??

continuing...
I wrote a script to read a color table from a GIF file and save to an ACT color table file. I think it might be useful for someone.
It goes a little more deeper than the code I posted before, as it now identifies the table size. It is important because it tells how much data to read.
Some gif files, even if they are saved with a reduced palette (less than 256), they have all the bytes for the full color palette filled inside the file (sometimes with 0x000000). But, some gif files exported in PS via "save for web" for example, have the color table reduced to optimize file size.
The script store all colors into an array, allowing some kind of sorting, or processing at will.
It uses the xlib/Stream.js in xtools from Xbytor
Here is the code:
// reads the color table from a GIF image
// saves to an ACT color table file format
#include "xtools/xlib/Stream.js"
// read the 0xA byte in hex format from the gif file
// this byte has the color table size info at it's 3 last bits
Stream.readByteHex = function(s) {
function hexDigit(d) {
    if (d < 10) return d.toString();
    d -= 10;
    return String.fromCharCode('A'.charCodeAt(0) + d);
var str = '';
s = s.toString();
     var ch = s.charCodeAt(0xA);
    str += hexDigit(ch >> 4) + hexDigit(ch & 0xF);
return str;
// hex to bin conversion
Math.base = function(n, to, from) {
     return parseInt(n, from || 10).toString(to);
//load test image
var img = Stream.readFromFile("~/file.gif");
hex = Stream.readByteHex(img);      // hex string of the 0xA byte
bin = Math.base(hex,2,16);          // binary string of the 0xA byte
tableSize = bin.slice(5,8)          // Get the 3 bit info that defines size of the ct
switch(tableSize)
case '000': // 6 bytes table
tablSize = 2
break;

tablSize = 4

IMAQ Write JPEG File doesn't save color

Hi, I'm writing an 8 bit image to file. If I save it as bmp (using "IMAQ Write BMP.vi") File then color data is saved. If I save it as Jpeg using "IMAQ Write JPEG File", then I only get grayscale. I have attached a demonstration. There appears to be a bug in the IMAQ vi.

At IMAQ create.vi you need to specify RGB image type. You are actually using 8 bit, that is a grayscale type.

When I export as a tif file, the colors of my illustration become...freakish. Is there a way to correct this?

When it is in pdf, the colors look/print the way I want, but when it is in tif they change. How do I fix this?

You have not provided any proper technical details like what version of AI, what system, how you review your files, color management, export settings. Chances are you are trying to view CMYK files in an RGB viewer, but beyond that we can't really know anything...

"Bitmap file: No color table available (True Color, Bitcount 32)"

When I tried to import a bitmap file into SAP R3 by using T code SE78 -> Graphics->BMAP, I got an error message "Bitmap file: No color table available (True Color, Bitcount 32)".
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Fisher Li

I followed the answer here and it did not work for me
I used freware called GIMP to save the image as 24 bit (after choosing the file name at save, you get to set this in the advanced options). This worked.
I tried rescaling the image to be smaller and this made no impact on my ability to load the image.

How can I create a black and white table for Write BMP File.vi?

I just want to create a black and white array to create the picture in B'n W

You can use this VI, which outputs an 8-bit Greyscale Color Table.
Good luck,
Jim

How do I color a grayscale TIF file?

I remember it being easy to do in Quark... But now I can't get it done in ID (CS6).... The TIF file is not transparent (all layers flattened).
I tried searching, but still don't have an answer....
Thanks.......

OOooPppppppSSsssss, sorry, it was a grayscale, but somehow the mode was left as CMYK... All is good now, thanks!

Lightroom and DxO: fix lens flaws in a TIF file exported from LR

Hi,
I'm in love with LR, I don't mind if people tell me that other Raw converter do a better job in demosaicing. Anyway some time ago a friend told me about DxO Optics Pro, I tried and loved the lens corrections. I thought I could prform those correction at the end of my workflow on a Tiff file exported from LR to DxO. No way! It seems that DxO doesn't recognize the lens used to shoot the image. It seems that LR and Camera Raw delete all the infos related to optics used. Any help would be appreciated.
Bye!

I used the following command to swap exif data:

Multiple attachments (TIF-files) in Emails

hi all,
I'm trying to send an eMail with multiple attachments (TIF-files) with the function SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
The eMail with the attachments arrives well. The problem is, when opening the attachments all look the same as the 1. attachment. The archived TIFFs are not the same and I can see that the arrived attachments have different file-lenghts.
The packing list looks like:
HEAD_START   HEAD_NUM   BODY_START   BODY_NUM
1                      1                    1                      57
1                      1                     58                   198
1                      1                    199                  415
The table-length of the first object is 57, the second object 141, the third 217.
The contents_bin table has 415 lines. I appended all object-tables to the contents_bin table.
Is there something which I have to consider especially?
Thanks and regards
Oliver

I had to write something similar for text files, so this may or may not be a useful tip. BODY_NUM represents the length of the text, i.e. the number of lines not the final line number. So the packing list should be
1 1 1 57
1 1 58 141
1 1 199 217
Hope this helps...although probably very out of date by now...

Color Table help

Hello,
I am developing a format plug-in to save out the color table for a document. In the documentation I am having trouble finding how I can access the document's palette. Where can I find this info? Would this work better as a export plug-in? Thank you for your time.

A file format expects to write out the image.
An export plugin could export almost anything (color table, statistics, etc.).
Either one has access to the color table for indexed color images.

But when I try to pass the same Contents to Application server file and then try to open it by downloading file then it opens BLANK pdf file.
As per requirements I should be able to write the file correctly on Application server and If I dowload it from there it should open PDF file correctly.
Let me know if you require further details about the issue.

How to load Color Table in VB?

Hi, I'm very new to Illustrator scripting and this problem drives me crazy. I can't find any information on the Web, so please help~!
I have a series of illustrator files(.ai) and a color table(.act), and I wanna apply the same color table to all these image files. I know how to do it in Illustrator: open the ai file, "save for web" then load the color table in by click the color palette button, then click on "done". But how can I do this in VB? anyone have any idea?
Your help is highly appreciated!
Cheers,

any idea? I really need help~

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
Thank's in advance again,
André
