Photoshop :: My TIFF File Is Opening Tall And Narrow
Apr 16, 2008
I have have several scans that were saved as compressed TIFF that used to be roughly the shape of a letter-size piece of paper. Now when I open them, they're displaying squashed, tall and narrow. Other scans made in the same group, at the same time, saved the same way, don't show this. The ones that are not squashed say "(Gray/8)" in the title bar. The ones that are squashed say "(Gray/8) [scaled]" in the title bar. The preview in the Open dialog shows the correct shape.
I've never seen this before. Is this "scaling" something I can turn off?
The Application Frame window opens up too tall on both my monitors. I cannot resize it nor access any of the tools at the bottom. Is there any other way to resize it except by grabbing it with the cursor and dragging the edge, since obviously I cannot do that when it sits offscreen?
I am downloading Tiff images from a partners website. After extracting the file and opening from Photoshop CS5.1 it's only displaying one of the original image layers. For example and image with two guys shaking hands in an office is only opening the clipped two guys and not showing the backgroud. The vendor says the files open fine on their end which leads me to believe its a download or photoshop issue.
I'm putting the finishing touches on a painting I've been working on using PSE4 and Xara Pro 7, and I've run into a problem: Xara won't open the image. The image is in TIFF. The error code I get is this: 0ee3d87d-4061-4c60-ad08-89d82ea87ffc. I've been able to open previous versions of the image in Xara. This image has a lot more detail, so I wonder if file size is this issue?
When opening a multi-page TIF file, there are options to open a specific page, a range of pages, or all pages. Unfortunately, the options for range of pages or all pages are dimmed, and cannot be selected. What can we not select these other options?
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.
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.
Occasionally my TIFF files open in ACR instead of opening directly into Photoshop. It doesn't happen with every file. Why would this happen? How do I prevent it?
I'm runing into some problems trying to open a TIF that is 600MB. I get the following error message:
Could not complete the Open command because there is not enough memory (RAM).
We are using Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 on Mac OS X version 10.7.4. I've attached a screenshot of Activity Monitor displaying plenty of unused system RAM [1]. I've increased Photoshop's memory allowance (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Let Photoshop Use: 7277 MB (100%)), and I have an active Scratch Disk with more than 500 GB free.
Bridge reports the following re the TIF 14409 x 16209, 600 ppi, scanned on a KIP 3000. There's probably RLE compression involved, but I haven't confirmed that.
Problems opening tif files in Adobe Photoshop CS6. Lately I've been getting an error message: 'Photoshop does not recognize this kind of file' whenever I try to open a tif file. I've tried everything -- doing a complete purge and reinstall of CS6 and running all the latest available updates but with no success. Photoshop will not open any tif files! Am using iMac (Intel), OSX 10.8.2!
I have some old Photoshop files, tif, psd, jpg, etc. on a CD. When I try to open them, I get an error-108 and the file disappears from the finder. I have tried to copy to the hard drive, but I get an operation cant be completed, one or more items cant be found error-43.
I'm using Photoshop CS 5.1 on an iMac, running OS 10.8.2. I've encountered an odd behavior. Photoshop is open. I try to open a tif or jpeg in Photoshop by control-clicking the icon, or double-clicking in Bridge. Instead of simply opening the doc, Photoshop launches again - so now there are two Photoshop icons open in my dock. (And if I check behavior in Activity Monitor, indeed there are two Photoshop 5.1's running.) I get a message.
"The application has been moved, and its path has changed. To update the product configuration, click Update."
Click Update. Enter admin password. But then the problem simply recurs. The update isn't sticking.
The problem doesn't occur if I try to open a Photoshop doc by clicking it (just .tif and .jpg).
When I look in 'recent items - applications' in the finder I see two Photoshop 5.1's. But there is only one Photoshop 5.1 in my Application folder.
When I have two Photoshops open (as it were) neither one 'knows' about the windows open in the other. That is, if I have picture.psd open in one and picture2.psd open in the other, I don't see picture2.psd as an option in the bottom of the Window menu, if I'm viewing picture.psd.
But when I quit and just re-launch Photoshop from the dock, it remembers the docs from both launches via 'open recent'.
Most peculiar.
This really isn't inordinately impacting my workflow but it's odd, and I think it's slowing the system. (I'm thinking of updating to CS 6. Maybe it will just go away!)
When opening existing tiff files in Photoshop 6 they are opening very tiny in top left corner(memory can be anything from 1 mb up to 1 gb. I have to magnify each one seperately right up to see them. Never had this problem in CS 4, tried everything in preferences, view etc etc
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:
Every time I open a RAW file into Photoshop CS5 from LR3, it automatically creates and saves a PSD or TIFF file. Is there a way to stop lightroom from doing this? When I used LR2, I saved these files only if I choose to. I always convert my files to jpg after I'm done editing in PS and don't need these huge files hanging around.
On a MacBook Pro 15-inch retina display running OS 10.8.3, in Photoshop CS6: after launching PS, the work window is too tall for the monitor display. The bottom is cut off: there are no bottom scroll bars or nor any of the page info, I can't grab the resizing corner to change window dimensions. Also, I can't change from Standard Screen Mode: neither the left tool bar nor the F key has any effect. I've quit and restarted both the PS app and entire computer but problem persists.
i have photoshop 7.0 on a windows xp machine. trying to work with a psd file that uses arial narrow bold and arial narrow italic fonts. when i dragged the file into photoshop, it told me those fonts weren't available. downloaded arialnb.ttf and arialni.ttf from the internet, went into my control panel - fonts folder and deleted the old ones that weren't being recognized and installed the new ones. they are still not recognized. microsoft word doesn't recognize them either.
I just started working with Revel as I was hoping it would be a great way to get all the photos from all the different phones in our house into Elements.
I went to the effort of creating some albums called "Wife's Upload" etc to seperate each phone and then at my leisure I could import the photos from the upload folder into Elements and then purge them from the Revel upload folder.
The problem is when I choose to import from Revel it is showing me ALL the photos from ALL the albums, making this function almost useless. They went to the effort of allowing me the ability to choose the TARGET folder I want them going to - but not the SOURCE album on Revel? I am not finding an intuitive way to do this. Is it not possible?
every time I choose import I have to sort through ALL of the photos to find anything recent or separate that I have uploaded. This almost seems like nothing but a one time import function and not something very useful to people that are updating on a constant basis.
Whenever I tell LR to edit a photo in PS (CS6), I get back a TIFF file that is 10X larger than the orginal RAW file, and I ultimetly delete it to save space (after first converting it to a jpeg). Why doesn't PS do LR style non-destructrive editing, i.e., why not simply return a record of the edits made in a format compatible with LR?
I have just bought a new quad core pc with 4 GB RAM, but XP SP2 only accepts 3,25 GB. Furthermore I have installed Abode Suite CS3 and did all the updates.
I have to merge 2 TIFF-file and make some corrections, after doing this I generated a 300 dpi CMYK tiff-file of 1 GB. At this point PS crashes and I can't open the file any more, it blocks when reaching +- 70%
I have selected to use the maximum memory via Photoshop preferences. But is not possible anymore, the only thing I can do is to close photoshop via the task-manager...
I have a large .psb file which i am trying to convert to.tiff.The file size says it's: 759MB and I understand that the .tiff will convert upto 4GB.But when i try to convert it says the file is to big!The error message "File exceeds 4GB limit...etc" comes up...
I was working on an image, it was quite big, 7000 px wide, 6000 tall but only 5 quite simple layers, the .xcf is 7.8MB.
All of a sudden after pasting from another .xcf file (which I had just10+ times with no similar result) I moved the pasted part, the image was pretty much finished and I went up to click file>export and everything between "open recent" and "quit" in the file menu was grey.No chance to save or export and it appears half an hour of work lost.It was as if the file menu didn't think I had a file open, but if I scrolled across to the filters menu for example, they were available for selection which they are not when you have no image open. I could edit the image and change layer visibilities and do what I wanted to the image - except save it. I had flash backs to darker days of shareware version of lesser softer titles on proprietary systems. In a moment of frustration I hit the little "x" to resign for the night and it warned me to save before closing.. I hit save as the only option was to overwrite a file I didn't really want to overwrite but I did and then wrote this.
It's 2.8.6 running on an up to date ubuntu 13.10 on a high end PC.
How can I use Arial Narrow Bold in Illustrator CS6? In CS5 I can choose Arial Narrow as a font and just make it bold. Now in CS6 I only find Arial as a font and can make it either narrow or bold but not both. I have installed the ”whole” Arial font family in windowsfonts, so there I can find Arial Narrow, but why does it and the other Arial fonts appear in Illustrator?
