The TIFF file size

I edited an image taken with a Sony a7R II in Photoshop (created four layers, although none of the terribly complex changes) and saved as a TIFF file. The original image is 37 MB, but the TIFF image is a huge 463 MB (485 MB so I use LZW compression). Am I doing something wrong or is that what you would expect. Thank you!

While this seems quite ok for a small file. I expect a 16-bit file of a camera 42Mp 252 MB. You have 4 layers + possibly layer masks, so add that space and you get easily 460 MB.

It's the magic behind: each pixel in a RAW file represents a single color in 14bits (14bits is my proposal, I do not study for the specific camera), this is due to the color of Bayer, model coding. Add a compression without loss and you move a MB / Mpixel.

This development in Tiff file triple 16bits for 3x16bits/pixel color information (demosaicing see here: demosaicing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ).

Which gives me a headache is the increase in the size of the file using LZW compression (also on the layers?). I use the ZIP (file and layers) compression and which normally reduces the size of the file. At least a Tiff file becomes smaller then an equivalent PSD file.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how can I increase the maximum file size allowed on the media?

    Whenever I have record video using the video camera, after a very short time it will stop recording and gives a message 'maximum size of the file reaches. I've adjusted the settings to save in 'Normal' mode, but while recording appears in last a short time, the result file size is way too big to be able to easily send to contacts. When you use the MMS mode the recording time is much too short. Is it possible to increase the maximum allowed size of the file so that a resulting video would be about 3-4 MB or less?

    You can download any software video conversion on the net. just try this one "Freestudio".

    You really produce TIFF files? If you are, no matter what version of LR read them. Files NAVE, not so much. For NEF files out of this camera, you can either upgrade to the latest 6.4 or CC 2015.4, or you can download the latest free Adobe DNG converter software and use it to convert your files to DNG and import those into LR 5.7.

    Back to TIFF format. If you are trying to import those and get a message that the files cannot be read. You will need to change the permissions on the folder that you copy the image to. Change the permissions if you have read and write access.

    It's a bit like having images used as boilerplate in Oracle Forms. Whenever the form is refreshed or called, the standard text (and images) must be made. In comparison, the images cached display much more quickly and can be stored on the application server. For the treatment of the data, do the boring tasks on the server, not in the form (or model) itself. If your model has to read/load much of other submodels, same idea.

    You must Transact in appearance compared to the features. So, it is true on the Web pages.

  • Why comments in the Details pane reduce a 30 MB tiff file size to 10 MB?

    I have a scan, which is a TIFF about 30 MB and I wrote a comment in the details pane to this topic.  When I saved the comment a window pops up with a message "Application of the properties as a reference" and then the file size has dropped to about two-thirds around 10 MB.

    What Vista did to my file?  And why?

    It's my pleasure - glad I could help him.  It is very interesting to transfer the file of 23 MB to Photoshop in Photoshop showing the original 86MB (which suggests that nothing actually happened to the file - it is just how Vista reports its size that seems to be wrong).  Maybe you've found a bug in the system - it wouldn't be the first.  It seems to me that you must ignore Vista file size reporting and information from Photoshop or any other programs that you use to work with images and TIFF files (not exactly the best location, but perhaps the only one available).

  • Best settings for maximum quality with the smallest file size

    I am generation PDFs from Indesgin. The InDesign document is a 24 page book for children, so the color work consits flat horizons that are made in Illustrator.

    PDF files are approximately 13 MB. But if I'm running their thinking the optimizer based on CSSTidy in Acrobat I can get up to 9 MB without quality.

    The only problem is that automatically generate these PDF files per day 100 automatically (it's a custom to produce via HP Smartstream book), so I can't open them every time in Acrobat format (unless there is a way to send it to Acrobat automatically after creation).

    Is there a way I can reproduce the 'effects' Acrobat in InDesign settings panel when you create the PDF file?

    My work is in EPS. I tried saving as a TIFF and before you import it into InDesign. Although TIFF files / HAVE individal are smaller that the EPS, the PDF output is the same size (sometimes more).

    The only thing that reduces the size of the file within InDesign is passing the compression of images in color at 300 DPI to 150 dpi. But I find that if I go lower than that, the print quality suffers.

    I was looking for conversion of PDF command line tools and eventually discovered this:

    https://www.PDF-Tools.com/PDF/PDF-Optimization-reduce-size-1.aspx

    For me, it's much too expensive (US$ 570), but maybe it's a viable solution for you. He watched folder workflows, this is why it may be convenient for your application. You can download a demo and even test online (PDF file is watermark).

    I submitted a file to their online test page and was impressed with the results: original PDF 1.5 MB format produces a 925 file (an "optimized" ot the same sample PDF file Acrobat turned _bigger_ then the original). What makes it even more impressive: in the online test I deselected ALL downsampling image settings, to force the PDF optimized to keep the quality of the original image and the resolution. Then, in Acrobat, I exported the images at the same time the original PDF and the optimized and compare in Photoshop. They were not the same, but the difference is practically imperceptible. I suppose that applying the downsampling to the test will result in even smaller PDF files, but I did not test this.

    In any case... I have no affiliation with these guys, and I have neither the need nor the money to buy this product. I only share these thoughts because they can point you to other ways to find a solution. The above-mentioned application seems to be very effective. If you can afford it, I think it deserves a try. If this isn't the case, you can search the Web for plugins or other tools that can be adapted to you needs and budget. Acrobat/InDesign approaches are not the only way to go.

  • PDF files download via imap with the incorrect file size and is considered to be "corrupted".

    Hello

    I have a computer that is using thunderbird for imap emails. Any time I try to view a pdf, the open used attachment attachment and is reported as damaged. I downloaded a PDF directly from godaddy (mail host) and I can view the file properly. I also noticed that the file I tested was 105K when shown on the godaddy webmail but it was only 103K when appearing as an attachment under thunderbird. I also forwarded the email to myself since the webmail and when I open the email of forwareded, the size of the file is correct and the pdf file now opens. I would like to be able to open PDF files with thunderbird without having to send them to myself since the webmail. Are there settings I could change so that PDF files will be correct the first time?

    Thank you

    Try this: open Tools/Options/Advanced/general/Config. Editor, double-click on the mail.server.default.fetch_by_chunks preference to change its value from true to false, close the Config. Editor, OK, restart TB and see if you still have problems to open the attachments.

  • for the iBooks file size question

    Hello..

    With a view to monitoring of storage space on a MacBook Air without 85 GB of available space, someone knows on what an iBook, file size can be?

    Thanks in advance!

    Carolyn

    Hi there is Carolyn!

    Looks like you are looking to see what type of file sizes to wait for iBooks. This article seems to answer this question directly:

    On iBooks

    Size of files

    The typical book is about 2 MB. The books that contain improved, audio or video, features vary in size depending on the content. Enhanced books could take longer to download than a standard book.

    The iBook Store also offers manuals that might be larger than 1 to 2 GB of file size. You need a Wi - Fi download them on an iOS device. Time to download textbooks vary depending on your Internet connection.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
