Photoshop :: Opening Compressed RGB Files
Oct 20, 2008
I have bunch of compressed .tif files (Resolution is 400 dpi instead of 600) that I can't open in the photoshop.
Right now the only way I can fix these is by using Microsoft Office Picture Manager to convert those files to .bmp file. Then I CAN open it in photoshop and change it back to the correct scale/format (bitmap). However there are like hundreds of them and its going to take a long time to fix those pictures one by one.
Is there any method I can open them in photoshop? Any plug-in I can use?

Image compression in Photsohop CS6 doesn't seem to be effective on a 16 bit PSD when Maximize Compatibility is turned on.
For example, with Maximize Compatibility set to Always, if I create a new file 6144 x 4096 pixels x 16 bits/channel with a pure white background, and add a single text layer that says "This is a test", then save the file, it's 144 megabytes. Zipping that same file into a .zip archive results in a massive reduction, to 245 kbytes.
Sure enough the saved file size goes down if I set Maximize Compatibility to Never. But even that can be hugely more compressed by zip (down to 88 kbytes).
This implies the failure to compress is happening on the flattened preview.
If I change to 8 bits/channel and save that same document either way it's about two and a half megabytes, differing only a couple hundred kbytes between Maximize Compatibility Always vs. Never. In this case, apparently the flattened preview is being compressed nicely.
These are my file handling preferences. Note that I do NOT have [ ] Disable Compression checked.
Doing a bit of spot testing, I believe this is nothing new - it has been the same in recent past versions (e.g., Ps CS5, CS4). I've just never noticed that saving 16 bits/channel data yielded such huge files (because I always diaabled compression anyway), but apparently it has been the same all along.
No problem here - this is just a curiosity to me, as I have a fast disk array and these saves are all quick enough. I choose the "Always" maximize compatibility setting because I have a viewer (IrfanView) that I use for quick previews that won't read files saved with Maximize Compatility disabled.
I suppose it does beg the question: What prevents Photoshop from doing the Flate compression on the flattened preview in a 16 bits/channel PSD file? Was there an old version that couldn't decompress such files?

I am working on a project that requires saving my image files as uncompressed tiff files and then saving another copy using LZW compression and being stored on a different drive. I am scanning a large quantity of herbarium specimens one after the other and then saving these files on two different drives.
Because I am working on a Windows pc it defaults to saving the file as the same type and in the same place as the previous one. As a matter of efficiency I just save the file in the proper form for whatever drive I was last on then save the next one in the form it needs to be for the other drive - alternating back and forth.
My question is: If I save the original scan as an LZW compressed file first and then "save as" a second copy as an uncompressed Tiff. Is there any loss in image quality saving a LZW compressed to to an uncompressed form. Should I always save the original file in it's uncompressed form first? Does the file remain totally intact in Photoshop regardless of what gets saved first…

One of the reasons I have always liked PhotoPaint is because one can do some amount of video editing with it which is handy for animations or title frames to use in video editing programs. PhotoPaint has always been my preferred tool for making animated gifs from avi or mov files.
I see that it will open uncompressed avi or mov files but if they are compressed, it won't open them properly; such as showing the frames as solid black.
Is there a way to import additional codecs or filters or whatever for avi and mov into x5?

I use LR5 to manage RAW/JPG/MOV files from events where I have taken pictures from. Most of the MOV files do either come from my Canon Camera or from my iPhone.
I regular export the files in a reduced file back to my iPad or iPhone for "public" viewing. Unfortunately LR5 is loosing all metadata from my videos, especially creating date/time and GPS tags.
Is there any way to include metadata in exported (and compressed) video files ? It works in photo's very well.
If not, do you know any other program which can compress original video files from my iPhone and keep the metadata ?

Something very strange is going on. All my fonts are slightly compressed, as though the horizontal scaling is set to about 80%. It's not restricted to one font - it's across the board.
We have two macs in the studio with the same problem, and we can't fix it.

I am trying to remove the background from an image. It is a jpg that has had a lot of compression on it, so the edges are quite jaggedy/blurred. I have tried using the magic wand tool, but it seems to cut around the jagedy edges leaving a poor cut.

I can't figure this out... and I've tried everything I know / have been able to find on Google.
I'm using Microsoft Word 2010. When I save the document I use Save as > PDF
I created a few images for headers inside of Photoshop CS6. I've tried quite a few resolutions (600, 300, 220, 150, 96, 72) and I've also done all of the tips out there for preventing compression (going into settings > advanced > turning compression off, clicking image going to format preventing compression, and also the save as > tools > 220 dpi/use document compression).
I've also tried a ton of different file types: Jpg, png, gif, tiff, and pdf.
None of this works and my images keep getting compressed when it comes out in PDF.
How do I get this to stop compressing my images?
P.S. The image looks TOTALLY fine inside of the document. But as soon as I export it looks compressed and choppy.

I have been working on a file and every time I compress all the layers to an image file the overlay filter is ignored and it is processed at 100 opacity and normal instead of the overlay filter.
I thought the file was corrupted so i started from stratch again. I have my background layer (black) and a zig zag pattern i created which is set to overlay and 52% opacity, which gives a nice effect with the black layer. When the 2 layers are compressed the pattern layer comes out the full red colour instead of the overlay settings.
Here are the 2 images - the saved jpeg image and a screen shot of what it looks like when working on it in photoshop. I've been at it for 5 days.

My main user folder on the iMac is set to be shared (read/write, including all enclosed files) with my MacBook Pro. The job is a series of one-page InDesign files (they are newspaper advertisements). The IDD files contain a series of Illustrator files with linked PSD files.The idea is that we can both work on the .idd and .ai files in the same folder at the same time.
It's all working fine EXCEPT that whenever an .ai file is opened on the MacBook, Illustrator doesn't know where the linked PSD files are. We can update the link, but when the .ai file is then opened on the iMac and saved, the same thing happens the next time it is opened on the Macbook.
I don't want to embed the PSD files into the .ai files as sometimes I have to modify them and they can be linked to up to 20 .ai files.
G5 iMac OSX 10.7.5 / Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2 / networked via FireWire cable / file sharing on, laptop user has Administrator status, all files are read/write, permissions include all enclosed files / CS6

is it possible to edit the individual layers of an image after the layers have been compressed and the image saved? If so, where do I find the instructions for that?

When I click on a bitmap and drag it to a new position the colors "solarize", that is, simplify and look garish and ugly, for a minute. Is that how CorelDraw is supposed to work? I don't recall it being like that before.

Is there a method to get the Pocket Camera CinemaDNG files to work in premiere ? (or Speed grade?) They work as individual frames in Photoshop. Apparently they are "compressed" CinemaDNG files.

I recently purchased CS6 and loaded it to my desktop PC running Windows 7 and everyhing is fine.
I recently purchased a new laptop and loaded a second copy to it (running Windows 8). When I process a RAW file and try to open it in PS6 about every 4th file does not appear in the PS6 workspace. The file details show in the top left corner, the background layer appear, I supposedly can save this file but I cannot see anything. When I close PS6 and re-open it and re-open the ACR file, then open to PS6 if works fine.

Yesterday, before closing down, I uninstalled P/S 7, CS2 and CS3 to gain space, but do not know whether that action is relevant to my problem. Today I find that JPEGs will not open in Photoshop, and in Bridge only by going through Camera Raw. Photoshop will open tiffs, while Bridge will open some, but not all tiffs, through Camera Raw only. This problem follows many months of trouble-free operation of CS6.
My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate. I have downloaded the latest patches for CS6, and have set the Bridge Preferences item on File Associations to Default.

This problem just started recently on my PhotoShop 7.
I try to open an EPS file that was created in Illustrator or Freehand (or any other EPS that is not a Photoshop EPS), it opens up
as a blank document, like a transparent layer (you just see the
gray and white checkerboard background).
This happens whether I try to open the file by FILE>OPEN or if I drag the EPS file over the PS7 icon.
I tried everything and looked everywhere but without success.

I had bought CS4 and Lightroom from Adobe.
My raw files ( nef as well as dng) open fine on it, however when they are converted, there is a mesh in front of the image.
My jpg files previously adjusted in CS2 also do not open properly with same mesh in front of them.

I have two different psd files I cannot open. I last worked on these files May 30th. For each of them I completed a detailed mask, added a path and saved the files without changing the name. Today I went to work on my project and could not open either file.
When opening the 1st file I got this error message: Could not complete your request becaus the file is not compatible with this version of Photoship. When opening the 2nd file I got this error message: Could not complete your request because it is a not a valid Photoshop document.

I have a question about opening a .dds file to make skin for a car in RACE 07.
I have already installed the NVIDIA DDS plug-in and it used to work on PS CS2. Now I tried it on CS3 and at first it said that it was an unknown file format or something (don't remember the exact error). So I first re-installed the plugin. When that didn't work, I copied the dds.8BI file from the Plug-Ins folder in the CS2 folder to the Plug-Ins folder in the CS3 folder on my external HDD. Then I had the same error on both photoshops: "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file."
