GIMP :: In TIFF Asks Export Every Save?
Aug 14, 2011I need to work in tiff, but everytime I hit save, gimp tells me I need to export.
can this be turned off somehow? it's a real rock in the shoe while working.

I'm running Photoshop CC 14.1.2 on Mac (OSX 10.8.5) and whenever I use "Save As…" Photoshop marks the original file as edited and asks me to save it again before I close it - even if I have not made any changes before or after using "Save as…". This behavior is breaking some of my actions and bothering me quite a bit.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe sequence that leads to my problem:
1. Use the Save As command to save a file (it doesn't matter what file format I use)
2. Use the Close command to close the file
It is at this point that I get a prompt to save the file before closing, even though I just did the Save As and haven't made any changes. One thing I noticed was that after using the Save As command, the the icon at the top of the photo window is solid for a split second, then becomes grayed out and an asterisk appears to the right of the text at the top of the window. So it's like some change is being made in the background that I can't control.
I still have Photoshop CS6 on my computer. I don't have this problem in CS6 and I haven't been able to replicate this problem there. I checked the File Handling section in Preferences, and all my options are the same in CS6 and CC.
Why does Photoshop ask me if I want to "Save" when all I do is open and make a PDF?What has been changed, and therefore in need of "Saving" in Photoshop's eyes?

I only recently upgraded to 2.8 from 2.6 and was wondering if I am the onlyone missing the option to edit the file extension in the SAVE formwhich basically allowed you to Save, Save Copy, Save As or Export to anyformat from the same form?
I also found it strange that if I now open a JPG file (or drag into GIMP),I can't save changes (to the JPG) directly (it wants to save to native Gimpformat), so I again first have to go to Export instead!
I am wondering why this was incorporated, and if it's going to stay, is there a setting I can set to work like I am used to (and find much fasterand more flexible)?
I am using PSE 12 as an external editor for Aperture. When I ask to use an external photo editor, Aperture creates a .tiff file in my Aperture folder, launches PSE 12 and tells it to edit that .tiff file. This all works great. When I am done editing in PSE 12, I ask it to save the file and it saves it back to the original Aperture folder with a .tif extension. I can instead say "save as" and then it suggests the file name with a .tif extension. When I correct the extension to .tiff it warns me that I'm going to overwrite the file (exactly what I want!). I say yes and then I find out that PSE did not overwrite the file, but wrote it as a .tif file anyway. I have to go to the folder, delete the .tiff file and rename the .tif file to .tiff and then everything is fine - but what a hassle.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI cannot save or export an image from GIMP 2.8 at all. No matter where the mouse pointer is on the save/export window only a caret is displayed and not a cursor. The exception to this is when I hover over the vertical slider in the directory pane and I am able to move the slider on left click and drag. When I was using 2.8.2 (see below) and attempted this operation the cursor changed to an icon resembling a text document. The icon does not appear in 2.8.6
The problem has only occurred in the last 10 days. It first happened to me about a week ago. At that time I was using GIMP 2.8.2. Today I uninstalled this version and installed 2.8.6 with no improvement. I also tried deleting the .GIMP2.8 directory (as recommended elsewhere in this forum) with both versions but to no avail. As implied I have used GIMP (for more than 18 months) without a problem until the last week and a bit.
I am using Windows 7 Professional 64bit.
I adjust lots and lots of pix for our ebay auctions. Many items have at least 5 pix so they have the same file name but with a 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. at the end of the file name to distinguish them from each other. Example: eapgcompote1.jpg , eapgcompote2.jpg etc..
The problem that I have with Gimp is every time I save/ export a pic Gimp does not save the last export location and last modified date nor does Gimp offer the ability to select from previously saved items like in PhotoShop. I have to go thru about 5 steps in order to save each pic.
I noted a bug in GIMP 2.8. In the window Save as the dimension of the image is fixed at 1,3Gbyte even if the image is a few kbyte or you modify the quality.Here is the window: [URL]
View 2 Replies View RelatedURL....I am using PSE 12 as a photo editor for Aperture 3.5.1 and the photo is duplicated (as a tiff) in Aperture and PSE editor opens with the image. When I close the file and say to save the file it brings up the save as window.
I tell PSE 12 to "on first save -- save over current file" it now brings up the "save as" window and won't save over the file (changes the file type from .tiff to .tif)
I am cleaning up the Hard Drive on my Mac G4. My scanned images are taking a great portion of the 80 Gig drive. I finished clearing my external drive by removing nearly 60 gigs of images by storing them on DVD. I will do the same for the Mac drive.
My trouble is that all my images are stored in TIFF format which takes up enormous space no matter the storage. Since I output images in various sizes, mainly prints, to 30 x 40 inches, I need a master image archived in the best format for such. However, I do not want to fill my drives, or DVD, with large files. Code:
We just upgraded from Corel X4 to X6. When exporting a file into tiff in X6 , some images are creating extra lines that run into space. The images are made form cgm files, have not the best quality and relative old but in X4 I never had a problem with that.2678.test_c_drw_000_X4.tif4722.test_c_drw_000_x6.tif
Any new setting that needs to be on or off ?
I noticed that in X4 there is an option to apply ICC profile which I can't find in X6.Does this influence this?
Some days ago, I installed the x6 version. Now I find that, when export to Tif using x6 with the same settings and the same origin file, the file size is almose 3 more times then when using x5.
More Details:
I always use lZW compression, than the color mode I select paletted, and the final, choose document palette.
I just upgraded from 5 to 5.3.
Now I can't figure out how to export as tiff, PSD, original, etc.
I can only export as jpgs.
LR just doesn't offer those options anymore, it seems.
Have they been moved?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been going 'round in circles trying to decide whether to set my Lightroom external editing pref's for Photoshop as PSD or TIFF. I've very recently downloaded Photoshop - I'll be using it after I've done what I can in Lightroom, just for photo's - I've never used 'layers'
1) I read somewhere that PSD might be easier (or necessary) if I need to re-edit. I also read PSD could be a good idea as it would be easy to see which is the master edit, and which files have been saved as TIFF, for print say
2) I also read that you should never flatten a file, at least not until you need to (ie: save as TIFF for print) - any thoughts?
3) My thoughts (mixed up though they may be!) are to say edit layers etc in PS (either TIFF or PSD) then just press 'save', but not flatten layers (I understand the PSD or TIFF will then be alongside my original raw file back in Lightroom, as LR/PS automatically does this). Then say for print I would then 'save as' a TIFF (ie: for printing), or JPEG (ie: for web), and this would automatically flatten the file. If this is correct, say I started off with the un-flattened PSD for example, would I need to firstly make a copy of the PSD, or would just doing a 'save as' still keep the original PSD 'master file'? Also, after I say did a 'save as' for a TIFF, could I then just delete the TIFF and do another 'save as' if I wanted to do another print in the future, or better to just keep the TIFF in Light room alongside the raw, master PSD or TIFF / JPEG?
4) I won't be doing huge amounts in Photoshop, so would it be worth looking into using 'smart images / smart filters' - I'm just thinking that if document is not being flattened anyway would it be worthwhile?
Im using PS CS6. When trying to save a photo "Save As" a "jpg", the save as dialog box with the file name is automatically using the extension ".tiff". Im unable to save as a jpg file.
Why is this happening and how can it be corrected?
I tried export cdr to huge tiff image, 300dpi and 25m x 3m size. The problem is my X6 crashed, i am using Win XP SP3 4gb ddr dell optiplex 380 series.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen you export from Illustrator CS6 or CC in TIF format, you are given the checkbox option of LZW compression, but the output file does not seem to be compressed. When I open this TIF file in Photoshop and do a Save As, selecting the LZW option produces a dramatically smaller file than the one produced by Illustrator.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Photoshop CS6 when I save a TIFF file it saves with the .sgi extension. When I save a png it saves it with the .raw extension. I haven't had this problem with previous versions of PS. I'm on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8. I also noticed that I have a plugin in the Plugins folder that's called SGIRGB.plugin. What's going on with saving in these file types or what this plugin is?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know that PSDs are the default file format, and I've read that CS6 is sticky and will save a file in the last file format that was saved.
Here's my scenario:
1. In Lightroom 5, I right-click on one of my RAW files (NEF) and select to edit in CC.
2. CC opens and I do some edits.
3. Trying to save the file.
a. If I just "Save" the file, it saves as a TIFF.
b. If I use "Save As..." the dialog is defaulted to a TIFF
I've tried opening one file from LR into CC, saving it as a PSD, then closing CC hoping that it would be sticky, nope.
How can I force CC to always default to save files as a PSD unless I tell it otherwise?
I have a multichannel document 3 channels and I need to save it so I can send a jpg to someone who doesn't have Photoshop,
Photoshop won't give me the option to Save to the Web like all other documents.
I saved one file as .tif and now after using RAW to process images, opening in CS3, trying to save, there are no options either .jpg or .pds. I had to open two previously saved .jpg files, before I had the full range of choices.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using PSE7 with ACR 5.6 on Windows 7 (soon to be updated to PSE 11). I have only been using RAW files for a short while so I am far from familiar with ACR but I am fairly sure that when I first installed it the "Save Image" dialog box offered me several file formats, in a drop down box, to save the image as. I remember tif, jpg, psd and dng at least. Now I am only offered dng (in both all uppercase and all lowercase). Am I remembering wrongly or have I changed something somewhere that is doing this? I can find no way to save the image other than as a dng. If it matters ACR is set to 8bits/channel and I am trying to convert NEF files opened by right clicking in the Organiser and selecting full edit where upon ACR opens.
I have tried re-downloading and replacing the Camera Raw.8bi file to no effect. I suspect it is me doing something wrong rather than anything being "broken".
if I have a page of pics in a cdr, how can I export each one as its own stand alone tif? seems like I could do that at one time but now when I select an image and export it, it shows a weird dimensions size not like the image.
for example if I select a 5x7 image and export as a tif the dialog box shows it as 5.93 X 10.4 when the image is in fact 5x7.
we have just upgraded to x5 and now i have a big problem exporting tiff:
I work for print,not web. lets say i have a 50x50 cm layout. default dpi of document is set at 300. if i want to export that as a tif, it defaults at 300dpi in the export dialogue. until now, in x4, if i checked the maintain aspect ratio and just changed the dpi to lets say, 150dpi, it would only change the % of the size, not the actual size of the tif! now it changes somehow to double the size! but i want the same size to remain! also cm is selected, so no reason for it to keep the number of pixels!. i have to uncheck the maintain aspect and recheck it again to put the correct value in the size.
Also, i work with big documents, is there a way to stop previewing the jpegs in the export as jpg dialogue?
