Photoshop :: 32bit HDR Panorama TIFF Editable In Camera Raw?
Oct 25, 2013
I recently did a photoshoot with a car. It was the first time that I planned to professionally use 32 bit HDR merging. I shot 4 exposures of the front of the car from the side, and shot another 4 at the same brackets of the back of the car while mounted on the tripod.
Here's exactly what I'm trying to do;
Take 2 different 32 bit TIFFsAlign them to be a panoramaExport to a single, true 32 bit TIFFAdjust & tone that 32 bit panorama TIFF in Camera Raw
I've worked with panoramas plenty of times, but when I take the 32 bit TIFF files into photoshop, I pass through CR without doing anything. Once the TIFFs are in PS, they are converted to an 8 bit mode automatically. I also tried to take those 8 bit TIFFs, auto-align, switch back to 32 bit mode, and then export as a 32 bit TIFF. I then took the panorama 32 bit TIFF into Camera Raw, but obviously, the damage had already been done and it was not true 32 bit.
Should all settings be zeroed before creating the 32 bit TIFF file in Edit in>Merge to HDRPro. Does this include defringing, sharpening, noise reduction and all basic panel settings?
Also the info I have been reading infers that only the the exposure ends of the bracket need to be input rather than all of the files in the bracket. Example from a -2,-1,0,+1,+2 bracket, only the -2 and +2 would be input into the Merge to HDR Pro.
When I generate a 32 bit tiff (HDR) in PS CS5 from bracketed pictures within lightroom 4.1, import the tiff back into lightroom, adjust it in lightroom, and then send it back to PS (option "Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" selected) for further editing, the file won't open in PS. Opening the file directly in PS works, but without the adjustments made in lightroom.
I have tried the same with a 32 bit tiff from Photomatix. Same behaviour.
Due to size concerns, I began to convert my orijinal raw files taken by 7D as 5184*3456 pixels to 3000*2000 pixel by Canon Digital Photo Professional 3.12.52.0 to TIFF files . ( gaining almost %50 of the original size)
Then I'll use bridge to open them as raw files in Camera raw for editing ...
Do you think that, there will be some quality issues after then ?
I have been following tutorials on creating HDR images in photoshop using the 32 bit function.
Once I have created the 32 bit image, and saved it as a Tiff file. I then go into bridge and made sure the preferences for camera raw are set to enable suppoprted TIFFs. However I cannot open this image through camera raw, it just opens up in photoshop...
In the turorials I have seen this does not seem to be a problem for others.
I have difficulties opening tif and jpg files in camera raw. I can not access Camera Raw. With CR2 files i have no problem. So far I know all is correct in the preference dialogue box. I bought lightroom 5 also. Can this be the cause?2
I made a picture in HRD Pro, and i want to work on it. I saved it as a .psd and also as a .tif, but I cannot open nor the .psd, nor the .tif in Camera Raw? If I save it as a .Jpg I already lose quality..?
My normal workflow consists of opening RAW files in ACR, making adjustments, then moving on to Photoshop where I apply retouching and build clipping paths. I then save the file as an 8bit TIFF. I rarely reopen these 8bit TIFFs again, but when I did so recently what I encountered was not what I expected.
My Photoshop (CS6) is opening 8bit TIFF files as Camera Raw when selected by "right click" followed by "Open with Photoshop CS6". I remember being able to open 8bit TIFF files directly in Photoshop, but I think this change has occurred since installing CS6.
Again, files in question began as 16bit Raw files, but were worked on in Photoshop CS6 (retouching) and saved with clipping paths. This would reduce them to 8bit files. When placed in page layout, clipping paths work properly, confirming that paths are intact.
When I want to open the files again - say from Bridge or a Finder window - by the method "right click - Open with Photoshop CS6", the file is opened first in Camera Raw, and then in Photoshop, and the path(s) is missing.I can open these TIFF files and access Paths but only if I locate and select the file from within Photoshop (File/ Open.../). The Open window gives "Format" as Camera Raw (which it isn't, having been saved as 8bit file). If I override format to "TIFF", the file opens with clipping path shown.
Camera Raw takes almost 2 seconds to save 103MB tiff file. (I use Photoshop CS6)When i save a bunch of tiff files, camera raw uses only half of my CPU and half of my RAM. In addition, I use SSD that writes 530MB/s outside Photoshop. According to these specifications it should save 5 images within one second. But it doesnt.
I have a camera not (really) supported directly by LR - so i use .tiff files created by the camera bundled software.This works fine,
Now i would like to be able to use my own camera profiles with LR with my .tiff files - when i open the RAW files (an old version is supported, so they can be opened) the profiles are availiable as expected, but when i change to the .tiff version of the file, the profiles are gone.

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:
A simple editable mesh object, a piece of terrain, which has standard texture on it an no modifiers, just some UV's on channel 1.
Whenever I add "edit poly" modifier or convert it to editable poly, additional geometry will be created. Statistics show that only vertex count of the selected object goes up about 6x but no additional faces are generated. This not the case when check on a sub-object level, there are lot of additional faces created. I've never seen this happen, jumping between edit poly and edit mesh has been easy without any errors like this.
I've tried the same model with 2013 as well - same results. Also tried collapsing the object, removing uv-mapping, different materials, attaching the mesh to empty box, etc, garbage collection, exporting it to obj and importing - even then same thing happens.
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.
in CS4 the best that I can get it to do is create a panorama that covers more than the required area and to then do as best I can to crop the result so that the beginning and end match. Is there some automated feature that I am missing that does this?
I am having all sorts of trouble with my setup - 32bit windows 7 and 32bit CS6. I have a 2TB hard disk (with 1.7 unused) and 8GB Ram installed.
I understand that this setup has a maximum amount of 1.7GB ram available to CS6 and this may possibly be the problem. (see the attachment)
My D800 NEF images are around 40MB each. I get out of ram messages in Photoshop and the same in Bridge. In Bridge the 100% lupe takes forever to activate and eventually after several images it says the 100% lupe is unavailable. If I purge the cache it is OK again for just a few images. There appears to be no problem with smaller files, jpegs etc.
I will change the setup to 64bit CS6 on Win7 64bit if this is the only way to rectify the problem.
Now that I have CS4 running on XP I'm trying to do some real work with it. First thing I do is disable tabbed windows and other new features as they have yet to prove themselves useful in my workflow. Perhaps I'll grow to appreciate them. But for now I'm just trying to get the app to work with the good ol' floating windows.
1) Can I stop new images opening with a Window that's glued to the top left corner of my screen? Past versions of PS just opened a floating Window. CS4 obliges me to 'unstick' the Window from the top left corner every time I open a new image. I've scoured the preferences but have yet to find any way to turn off this feature.
2) When grabbing the top bar of an open image window to move it on my screen I find it to be sluggish. With previous versions of PS one would grab the top of the image window and move it quickly on your screen to wherever you want. The response was pretty will instantaneous. With CS4 there seems to be a very slight lag whereby the move is occurring slightly behind the cursor moving it. It's not a huge lag. Just enough to get the sense that there's something amiss. I'll try it in Vista64 to see if the same thing is occurring there.
so I bought the worlds best photo program because I saw videos on Adobe TV showing all the wonderful things it can do, including one in particular where it demonstrated how to create a 360 panorama - woohoo! Imagine my disappointment after installing CS4 when I couldn't find a '3D' menu and discovered that this menu is only in CS4 Extended! What's worse is there is no upgrade path from CS4 to CS4 Extended.
is there a plugin I can buy for Photoshop CS4 that will do the job or are their any other options (bearing in mind I have a v.tight budget after buying PS)?
before the latest updates to photoshop CC one could export from LR a series od Raw images to HDR Pro, create a 32bit file, save and editin LR or CR.
Now, when creating the 32bit file photshops promts a button for edting in Camera Raw instead of the usual "create file" (then to be saved and opened in LR). Which is ok, but if I edit the file in CR and then open it as a Tiff in LR the adjustments done in CR are not visible in the sliders, but not only, the images is of bad quality in LR.
I just downloaded photoshop CS6 and I went to import video frames to layers but it says I need to use the 32 bit version. I had the same thing happen to me when I had CS5 so I looked up how to switch it and found out that I just had to right click on the photoshop app, click "Get Info", tick a box that says "32bit" and reopen the app. Well, I tried that with Photoshop CS6 but there is no option for 32 bit and now I don't know what to do.
I think that "auto blend layers>panorama" is assumed to make panoramas from layers ... And, there is also "auto align layers" for making panoramas from layers.
I tried "auto blend layers>panorama" with an image and it can not make a panorama from the two layers trial image ... "auto align layers" can make a panorama easily from the same image.
So, I can see that there is a clear difference between the "auto align layers" and "auto blend layers>panorama" ...
But I could not understand the intention of designers of PS about the usage difference between the "auto align layers" and "auto blend layers>panorama"?
Ive taken a pano ( made from 4 images). The image is very warpped where photos join. Ive tried clone tool to move sections of the image up or down but it doesnt really work too well.how to remove teh distortion from this image, its very clear on the horizon.
Image is no way near finished but gives you an idea of my problem.
Im having trouble with a panorama picture, I have around 10 pics I have to glue togther...all is going fine but the ligthning is very different in the pictures and this results in lines down through the picture...does anybody have a few pointers about something like that...Im thinking about putting some effect/filter on the picture(its for a website) so if you know of a filter ect.
