I get this annoying problem with color banding when i export 16bits TIFFs ProPhoto RGB (with no compression) from Lightroom to Photoshop CC. Both LR and PS working space is set to ProPhoto RGB color space. Miraculously, the banding disappears when i convert to Adobe RGB or sRGB.
There's no banding in Lightroom, only in Photoshop. I have encountered others with the same problem, but no one have come up with a solution.
I have many PSD files from photoshop – with layers, masks, adjustment layers, nested groups, smart filters, layer styles and editable text at 600dpi with embedded color profiles. The idea is to import them all into lightroom and make a book.
Should I flatten the files and make them into tiffs or jpegs?
Does it make sense to keep them at 600dpi or Blurb will downsample them to 300 anyway? (if so I would rather do it myself, if not is there an option to control the output resolution?) What happens to color? – How do I ensure the best match between what I see on the screen and what the book will look like?
raw images are not opening in photoshopcs5 nor tiffs with light room adjustment from lightroom3.
View 22 Replies View RelatedI shot loads of images as jpegs as requested. Now the customers says actually I'll need them in TIFF!! As the shoot went on I exported the images to 34 folders with 56 subfolders containing 751 jpeg images. I now need to supply exactly the same but with TIFFs. Now I still have the raw files in my C: and it would be lovely to simply re-import them and export them as TIFFs but without looking at every single raw file and finding where ever the corrosponing jpeg is I have no way of exporting the new TIFFs to sit alongside their jpeg counterparts, if you see what I mean? Is there anyway I can utilise/batch process the raw files and export them to right folders as TIFFs?

-I use one catalogue for each wedding/event/shoot.
-I import all my images as CR2 or DNG and work with these files in LR and Photoshop CS6.
-Once I complete the edits on a wedding, I'm left with , for example, 300 16-bit Uncompressed Tiff images in around a dozen different folders (I shoot big 600 pax + weddings sometimes).
-I want to: Re-save/Overwrite all these images as 8-bit Tiff images with ZIP compression.How can I do this?
-I've tried selecting all the images and Exporting them as 8 bit Zip Tiffs with the Overwrite Originals Without Warning tab selected. However I get the error that the file already exists and LR can do nothing about this.
-I've tried creating an Action in Photoshop but this poses two problems:
1) The photos are spread over multiple folders and selecting each one through File>Batch>Automate means the process requires manual intervention to reselect the next folder's tiffs - I want to hit the action, go eat lunch and come back to find them ALL saved.
2) The action acts outside of LR and I'd rather like to avoid 'metadata has been changed externally' errors although this isn't much of a biggie.
Why not just save the images as Zip Tiffs to begin with? I use a number of freelance retouchers , many of whom complain that the process of compressing slows their initial workflow (slower hardware).
(and yes - the space saved is considerable, where I live memory is still not quite cheap!)

A way to filter tiffs by 8 vs. 16bit and also color space? If not doable in PS another means of doing it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhenever I send a pic from Lightroom to an external editor, an "intermediate" tiff is saved in the original location and put in the catalogue. This is not only useless, because all Lightroom edits are stored in the sidecar but also a nuisance, as it causes a congestion on my HD.
I want to keep my "originals" directory clean and store all "edited" files in their own folder structue. I wouldn't have bothered asking, had I not come across a Photoshop plug-in MetaRaw [URL] that converts Raw-files that older versions of PS don't support to tiff and opens them in CameraRaw or PS directly. In the settings dialogue of that plug-in you can decide whether the tiff gets deleted upon opening in PS, upon closing the program or remains in the cache.
LR 4.3, Windows 7. I've started using Snapshots as a convenient way to capture in-process images. But, I can't find a couple things I'm sure HAVE to be in here somewhere...
1. The "generate virtual copies from all the snapshots of this image" button
2. The "export all the snapshots to jpgs or tiffs or whatever" button
I shoot in raw and typically edit files as ProPhoto uncompressed 16-bit TIFFs. It's been a while since I set that as my default and I can't remember what the tradeoffs were for compression and even PSD vs. TIFF. Is there a handy reference to inform these choices?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using Lightroom 3 with an external hard drive for a few years now with no problems.
I shoot raw with my Canon t1i and jpg with my Canon SX-10.
Just last week I hooked up my external hard drive and Lightroom wouldn't connect to it. Usually when I hook it up, Lightroom opens up automatically. At least it use to.
I looked at the drive and it seems the tiff files are now called CR2 (Canon Raw I think). Why this happened and is there a way to get them back to where Lightroom will recognize them?
I can open them in Photoshop, but not Lightroom. I usually go first to Lightroom, then to Photoshop and back. Can't do it know though.
how to or if there is a plugin available to maintain a tiled tiff format after image enhancement?
View 2 Replies View Relatedim having problems with saving my tiff files and converting. once i convert them to jpegs to email or go to the printers, they are changed and are washed out as if the org tiff before editing. when i open on my comp they are ok but when emailed to someone or once printed are destroyed. i dont think is my colour management as org jpegs files are fine. below are some details of the process.

When I flatten the files that I have been working on into TIFFs for delivery to clients, sometimes the preview (or thumb nail) shows only a single layer of the original layered file that I was working with. When the file is opened in Photoshop, the complete image is there.
Is this a bug or is there a way to correct this before I flatten the image? Btw, I have seen this same issue through many versions of Photoshop... from CS3 through CS6. When saving the same flattened image as a JPG, the preview saves correctly.
I was trying to create a PDF with some modified TIFFs. The TIFFs were opened, manipulated and flattened in Photoshop to reduce file size. I then took a few TIFFs and tried to create a new PDF. When the PDF was created I zoomed into one of the pages.
Noticed that the Photoshop editing has shown thru (all of the good and removed editing). It was like all of the Photoshop editing had come thru, all though I had flattened the image at its final output.
I then tried to create another PDF. I took the flattened TIFF images and saved them as PDFs in Photoshop. This worked. However, the file size was super huge. The 'reduce file size' destroyed the clarity of the pictures.
Is there a way to create a PDF from flattened TIFFs without all of the Photoshop edits to come along?

my Epson 700 scanner made tiffs of 600 mb each. I put one levels adjustment layer and it doubles to 1.2 GB.(and I turned off maximize capability the day before per another thread)And the files now do not get small or big previews in Bridge at all. (I purged cache)
I tested a save as PSD, and they come in fine with previews and are only 430 MB 1/3 size of the Tiffs. I think I'm done with tiffs unless an agency demands them.
whenever i open my raw files from acr, they are opening as tiffs...i disabled the tiffs in acr preferences as well to prevent this happening but to no avail...when i go to save my file to jpeg, it defaults to tiff as highlighted and i have to select jpeg every time..then after saving a jeg, i am asked do i want to save the tiff file every time... I have disabled tiff support as mentioned in acr preferences...this has never happened before.

View 1 Replies View Relatedam currently working on a Flash site which is relying quite heavily on images with transparency.
my method has been to create PS3 images, save as TIFF, preserve transparency, and then import into Flash. However sometimes when I go to save, I do not get the TIFF options dialogue box, and when this happens Flash cannot import the image.
I found this quote on another post which might be related, but I do not know enough about photoshop to understand it!:
"Keep in mind that before you will have a transparency option when saving, you need to have either a clipping path or an alpha channel saved with the transparency info in it. (aka a mask)"
is this what I am not doing, and if so, how do create a clipping path or alpha channel to save my transparency info 'in'?
At the moment I seem to be able to get around the problem by opening a new image, dragging the layer into that, and then saving. but it's a pain in the arse and for some of them, I need to preserve the position of a layer more accurately...
I've got a folder with about 200 pdfs in (all single pages as I've split them as such). What I want to do is set up an action that opens them in photoshop, converts them to a bitmap and saves them as a TIFF. Easy right? Nope.
I've set this up by recording the action. What happens is it opens all the files in turn and changes them to bitmaps as I want, but when it saves them, it saves them all with the same file name, which is the name of the first one (the one I recorded the action with), this means it keeps replacing the first file.
what I want it to do is to save each file with it's own file name!
I have a couple dozen large-ish TIFFs that I need to convert to JPEGs...is there a one-time "Save As" command that will convert all, without having to repeat the "Save As" command for each, one at a time?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIf I zip tiffs using Image Processor or Image Processor Pro, the file gets zipped but not the layers. That means the zipped tiffs are much bigger than the psds. Zipping the layers manually is very tedious, but gets the size down to about the same or slightly less than a psd. It seems to me that selecting zip for compression should zip everything by default. It doesn't seem to.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a weird problem with Photoshop CS. When I double-click on a tiff, jpeg, or Photoshop file it launches the program, but it won't open the image. In order to do that I must go to file and choose open. This is much more trouble. I can't figure out why. My photoshop guru friend couldn't figure out why. Any ideas?
Also, and this may or may not be related. When I open the program I get the following message: For Photoshop UI to display correctly, open System Preferences, click General, and turn off text smoothing for font sizes 8 and smaller.
The weird thing is, when I did what message suggested, I discovered that there was no "text smoothing" option to turn off under Preference (under General) in Photoshop. There is no General in the computer's System Preferences, so I'm assuming the message refers to Photoshop Preferences.
When making adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom I know you can use the "" key to see the before image. However, when I export to photoshop it saves a second image back into Lightroom.
When looking at this new image is there a way to flip back and forth with the original RAW??
