Yes! Finally fixed lag with editing tiff files

Thank you LR team. I had been having issues with significant lag when editing tiff files in LR 3 that seems to be gone in LR 4.
Specifically, I would edit my CR2 file and export to CS5 for cloning, filters and then save to get the tiff back into LR.
When I did simple things like sharpening, I would get the loading popup for a second but then had it show again when I zoomed in and with a significant stutter/lag.
Even worse was any cropping. I would start to drag one side, have the image almost freeze up - show a zoomed in section that was incorrect for the crop. I would let go and LR3 would catch up a second later. That would happen repeatedly and drove me crazy.
Happy to say those behaviors do not exist in my first photo edited in LR4.
You have me very tempted to start using it for my real stuff instead of just beta testing with duplicates.

(Aperture 3 and PSE 10; Lion; using Referenced files in Aperture)
I tried Barbara's recommended method and PSE now opens with the image displayed and accepts edits. However, when I save the adjusted image, what I get in Aperture is a TIFF file of that name but with no edits displayed.
When I go to the directory in which the referenced files are located, the adjusted file exists and I can view it.
So, (at least as I have things configured), when accessing PSE from Aperture I am able to make adjustments and save the adjusted file, but the adjusted file does not display in Aperture.
Is anyone having success with Barbara's method using referenced files?
I hope it is not necessary to do a separate import to get the adjusted file to display in Aperture - which would make PSE totally impractical for use.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have upgraded to Lion, and want to upgrade my iPhoto 8.1.2, but when I try it says it was not purchased at a MAC Apple store, which it was. Then it asks if I want to buy 9.2.3, and I say yes. It responds with Product Distribution file can't be verified

It responds with Product Distribution file can't be verified. Maybe damaged or not signed. How do I get this fixed, so I can download the new iphoto's that are available.

How did you move your iPhoto library to the new system? the recommended way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Editing TIFF files from camera and saving as JPG

I have searched extensively for this and feel like it must be answered somewhere but haven't found it. Call me an idiot.
I have a camera that can save a picture as a tiff and jpg files simultaneously.
When I open the tiff file in PE2 it is strange. It something like a negative and strange colors. In addition, it seems to have a small portion from the right side that has moved to the left side of the picture.
Does this mean there is something wrong with the tiff files?
I have tried opening it and saving as jpg. Then opening the jpg just shows the same strange image.
Do I need a newer version of PE?
Thanks

Well I found something finally on the internet. Apparently it is a problem with the 2GB SD card in my Panasonic FZ20 properly storing the file. I will have to look into it more. The card is an Ultra II San Disk. The sorry part is that the accompanying jpg is much smaller than if I taken the picture as jpg to start with.
See the following link if you have a similar problem.

Can't reconnect edited TIFF files back into library

There's a big problem I'm having.
After a vault restore, Aperture won't let me reconnect my edited tiff files. I open the "manage referenced files" dialogue and I navigate to the image, but I can't reconnect them. The "reconnect" buttons are greyed out. Here's a couple of pix of what's happening:
http://amrosario.com/Aperture001.jpg
http://amrosario.com/Aperture002.jpg
Not to mention that with some images, Aperture is recorded the wrong file size (as seen in my second screenshot).
I need help desperately!
Antonio

Thanks for all the words of help.
What is strange about this is this:
I'm working with NEF raw files from a D2X.
Before my hard drive issue, I did some editing of the raw files in Aperture. Then, I had Aperture send the tweaked file to Photoshop for more editing. Aperture sent over a 16bit tiff file. The file was about 70 megs in size (a 12.4 megapixel file @16 bits). Fine.
So, I did some editing and resizing in Photoshop and ended up with a layered TIFF file which was about 300 megs in size. Fine.
I saved it and went back to Aperture. Aperture took a minute or two to update the thumbnail. Fine - it's a big file. So far, everything was working as it should.
Back in Aperture, the edited TIFF was (automatically) stacked with the raw NEF file. Fine.
Then... HARD DRIVE ISSUE (actually, a raid failure, but that's another story).
After many hours or rebuilding and restoring from a saved vault, I get this issue where Aperture cannot find the stacked, edited tiffs. Ok, fine, so....
I go to the "manage referenced files" command and navigate to the tiff files stored on my hard drive and bingo....
No go...
But the strange thing is (and you can see it in my second screenshot above) that aperture is looking for a 70meg image where the edited image is actually much larger. If you look at this screenshot ( http://amrosario.com/Aperture002.jpg ) you can see that Aperture is looking for a 70.1mb file at 2852x4296 pixels. This is what Aperture originally sent over to Photoshop for me to edit. The actual edited file was saved (and cataloged by Aperture before my HARD DRIVE ISSUE) as a 236.8mb file at 3419x5150 pixels (this was the edited version.
After my hard drive issue and restore from vault, Aperture "forgot" that I had edited the image and enlarged it. It is looking for the 16bit TIFF that it originally sent to Photoshop when I first started to edit the image.
This is the big problem and, I think, bug in Aperture.
I have since reimported the TIFF files and will re-stack them with the original NEFs. But this is a lot of work.
I'm wondering if someone from the Aperture team can help figure this out.
I hope that I've made the problem clearer. This is hard to do with words.
Thanks for everyone's input.

Editing TIFF file with an adjustment brush vs. Photoshop Layer

I have some TIFF files I need to do some adjustments on. Mostly darkening the sky. Where the sky meets the foreground it is made up of tops of Spruce Trees.
My question is, can/should I use the adjustment brush in Lightroom to do this, or should I make a layer in Photoshop to do this?
I have found that when using the adjustment brush over the tops of Spruce trees, it is best to just paint over the whole thing, or else it will look artificial. Not sure if doing this in Photoshop would make my life easier? Any comments? Thanks.
Scott

A couple of comments: either a graduated filter or a brush-painted adjustment which paints across (for example) the horizon / tree / silhouette line of (say) a bright sky, will naturally (or, better to say, unnaturally) affect the overlapped parts too, IF you use the "Exposure" slider to do this. In that case one would need to be reasonably precise and finicky about the masking, which IMO goes a little against the intention of these tools within LR..
However, if you use the new LR4 "Highlights" slider instead, the result is much less artificial-looking IMO - even if you have painted (or graduated) quite loosely to include some areas of darker buildings, trees, mountains etc. This is because rather than affecting the whole tone scale, only bright regions of the picture are affected by "Highlights". Conversely, only dark areas of the picture are affected by the "Shadows" adjustment, when you use that.
So in that context, one would only need to erase back out of the painted mask, any areas where this adjustment was noticeably unwanted - which is often, a better way to proceed than attempting to paint your adjustment postively up to a boundary. The effect of a smoothly graduated adjustment can be achieved by using a very large, very soft-feathered brush in the first place, rather than the Grad tool - with the advantage that unlike the grad tool, a smaller harder brush can then be used in Erase mode to cut out areas as required. Depending on the nature of the adjustment, this too can be done fairly loosely - or, with Auto mask turned on.
Auto mask can be a little blocky and harsh in the way it treats an edge, but this tends not to matter when you are erasing out, so much as when you are painting in.

Sudden problem with importing tiff files with alpha channel (CS5)

OK this is driving me nuts. For years I have been importing image files that have an alpha channel into FCP as.tiff files. I use Photoshop files only when I want to use the layers as they are too cumbersome otherwise). I have recent upgraded Photoshop, etc. to CS5 and now FCP won't import them anymore. I get a message saying: "File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown"
I am not doing anything different and tiff files created in just the same way in an earlier version of Photoshop import and work just fine. Is this a CS5 bug? Does anyone know of a work around. I want to keep using tiff files as they seem to work best for me with alpha channel work (and I don't see why I need to reinvent the wheel).
Thanks
A

I've had a similar issue recently. Same TIFF files downloaded from the same server, different FCP project, new error. I either see"File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown" or I get the even stranger, "Unrecognized file type."
I can open them in PS and save them again as TIF, same results. I know these are not CMYK files but even if resave the TIF as RGB, I get the same results, they are not recognized by FCP.
But if I open them in PS and save them as PNG with alpha, they improt fine.
I have no idea what's going on.

Need help with editing AVCHD files in Final Cut Express 4

The AVCHD files were recorded on a Canon HG10 before I bought a Mac Pro OS X 15.1.
I transfered them to a file on my desktop, like the instructions tell me to do, but when I get to the part of "mount the media files in the log and transfer", I get stuck.
The file is named AVCHD and when I try to upload it into the Log and Transfer window through the little plus sign on the left hand top corner, I get the following message:
"AVCHD" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
It does not allow me to import the files individually. I tried dragging the files to where it says "Drag media here" and nothing happens. If I try to drag the file to the area in the top left corner of log and transfer, I get the same message as above.
What do I need to do?

I have a different camcorder, but my experience might be of help to you.
I have a Sony HDR-UX1 AVCHD camcorder that records to 8cm DVDs.
I tried using Apple Final Cut Express 4's FILE > LOG AND TRANSFER command to capture directly from the 8cm DVD, which resided in an external Sony DVD drive... and I was not successful.
Then, I remembered my experience on Windows XP where I used Corel's Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus.
With Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus, I found I had to drag the contents of removable media discs and disks to my Windows desktop, which then allowed me to use the software video capture tools successfully.
So I tried the same thing with Apple Final Cut Express 4.
I dragged the BDMV FOLDER on my 8cm AVCHD disc to my Mac's desktop.
I then used the FILE > LOG AND TRANSFER command and simply browsed to the folder on the desktop and -- Voila! -- the contents of the folder appeared as video thumbnails in the LOG AND TRANSFER WINDOW and everything worked.
Hope this helps,

Help with editing audio files (please)

hi there,
firstly sorry for posting in this section but i had no idea where else to do it.
i recently went to an acoustic gig and recorded some songs from it using a sony ericsson phone. i have blue-toothed the files to my mac. there are a few songs on each recording are two things i would like to do with these files.
1. i would like to split the files so they are separate for each song.
2. i would like to try remove as much background noise as possible i.e. crowd making noise, or at least focus it on the actual music being played.
i have download audacity but have no idea. i am looking for a possibly free way to do this and simple too. i am not going to go hardcore with the editing, just want to do it quick and easy.
any help much appreciated, thanks, ravi.

You need to import your song to iTunes first.
Than open Garage Band and click on bottom Right button (View/ Hide media browser).
Click on Audio>iTunes>Music, and choose the song you want to edit. Then Just drag to your board and this will open new track, you will see line running vertically on your screen, this is showing you at what measure your song will start, just move to the beginning of a track (if you drop it too soon, just "pick" it up again and move it). This is very useful when you are trying to merge several track (e.g. for your iMovie, as you have only two tracks on it).
Than Split and delete portion you don't want any more.
To Slit a track, adjust your measure where you want to split it and go to Edit>Spit.
Hope this helps.

Editing a PDF file? Keep in mind that PDF (the file format / technology) is decidedly *not* a word processing or page layout file format.
Word processor like editing of layout, style, content, etc. is not something PDF supports.
(See ISO 32000-1, the ISO Standard for PDF.)
Minor touchups are tolerated and Acrobat XI is currently the best "tool" for this.
Be well...

How to publish an app with editable resourse files?

I have coded a app that has a text file included in the resourses bundle. Is there any way I can make the resourse file editable for the users (not by retyping it but most likely overwriting the resourse file)?

You can also copy the file from the bundle to your application's folder in the user's ~/Library/Application Support/ directory (the path is similar for a sandboxed application) - see the File System Programming Guide.

How do I associate a scanner's icc profile with the TIFF files from scanning old slides?

I profiled my slide scanner and have an icc profile for that scanner. In Photoshop I can assign that profile to those files obtained by scanning slides in that scanner. Can I do something functionally equivalent inside Lightroom?

This is totally off on a tangent, so feel free to ignore:
After struggling with slide scanning on an Epson V500 for years, and generally getting lousy results (loads of chromatic aberration, poor detail resolution despite plenty of pixels, and bad color) - I decided to try to photograph them. The setup is simple. D800, Micro-Nikkor 105mm with extension tube (but any macro that goes 1:1 should do), small piece of diffusing plastic, flash backlight. And some tape to hold it all together.
Wow.
The result is razor-sharp with all the fine detail I have always missed, totally clean from CA, and with a few quick Lightroom adjustments it's there. Previously I had to bring them into Photoshop and spend hours.
The scanner is outside my window if anyone needs it...

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.

Can you auto replace eps files with tiff files

Hello
We have a document that has been supplied to u with 3000 images in it. The original positional files were eps files but the final high res files will be tiff's. Is there a way to find and replace the eps files with the tiff files?
Many thanks
Beefcake3

Are you using CS3 or CS4?
With CS3 you might be able to use the LinkOptimizer that you can buy from here http://zevrix.com/linkoptimizer.php
With CS4 you can swap out a bunch of files for another bunch in another folder - http://indesignsecrets.com/relink-from-one-image-file-type-to-another.php
Are you sure the EPS are just raster images? If there are any text, vectors etc. they will be converted to raster elements when saving to a tiff.
Perhaps a PDF would be better if you don't like EPS?

Automatically Slicing Large TIFF Files with Photoshop 5.1

I am trying to automatically slice a very large TIFF file (800 MB) into 28 equally-sized rectangles using Actions (it is a scanned image of 28 scientific slides and reducing the resolution is not an option). My goal is to start with the TIFF file and end up with a folder that contains 28 separate files. I'll do this on many such TIFF files, so it needs to be coded into an action.
So far I have an action that creates guides in a grid pattern and then converts the guides to 28 individual rectangular user slices that together cover the entire screen. Unfortunately the file is far too large to use with the "Save for Web & Devices" tool and I also can't export to TIFF from that tool. So I made an action that individually selects each slice (using the slice select tool), copies it, creates a new file, pastes the image, saves it as a flattened, non-compressed TIFF into a new folder, then closes the file. When I try to run this I get the following error:
The command "Select" is not currently available
          -- Continue --       -- Stop --
If I press Continue the action is not carried out. If I press Stop and select the slice manually there is no problem (but then my action will not be fully automated). The image is in 8-bit RGB mode, and I've also tried converting the locked Background layer into a standard layer. I don't see any reason why the select command shouldn't be available! There is only one layer and there are user slices available for selection. I tried separating the slicing and select/import jobs into 2 different actions but it still didn't work.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
