radugrindei Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Big, big issue: I scan with the Nikon 8000 ED 8 or 14 bit tifs at full 4000dpi,resulting in 8964x8964px files. The resulting files are pretty huge, i know. I can import the files in Lightroom, I can do adjustments but I cannon exportthem, neither in psd, tiff or jpg. I can open them in Photoshop CS3, I can do adjustmens but I cannon save them asjpg or psd. I tryed opening them in ACDSee, I can edit them there, save them as tiff or jpgwith no problem, but I don't like the prospect of editing my stuff in ACDSee. Does anyone know anything about this issue and is there any way to corect this?(I have to say that on my old and slow computer I had no issues editing thesefiles in CS2, but the prospect of having to go back to CS2 is not making me veryhappy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainer_t Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 You cannot save the files as jpg until you converted them to 8bit mode (8 bit per color chanel). However, saving as tif or psd should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radugrindei Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 I am VERY familiar with Photoshop, conversions, saves etc. Photoshop displays a "PROGRAM ERROR" window and Lightroom displays a "An Erros has occured, zero files exported". The option of saving a file in jpg mode does not appear when you have a 16b source, this is not the case. Moreover, in Lightroom, no conversion has to be done to a 16b file BEFORE exporting it to jpg, that is done automatically durring the export phase. I'd really apreciate some help from someone who knows his way around Adobe software and large tiff scans from 4000dpi scanners like the Nikon 8000 or 9000 ED. Thank you very much!

richsimmons Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Perhaps your installation of CS3 screwed something up. Did you remove CS2 correctly? Did you remove it at all? You're using ACDSee so you must be on windows. Remove CS3 and LR and reinstall them both. I would reinstall CS3 first, then LR. But after doing the removal, make sure you delete anything left behind, do a full reboot and then reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radugrindei Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 I will remove them both and reinstall CS3 and then LR and get back with feedback. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fp56gallery Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Remember that I had a similar problem two years ago. The problem was, if I remember correctly, the PS time tag (??). And it also happened in January.... When I changed OS-time to February, the problem was solved. Don't know if it helps. Franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_smith4 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I think the LR pixel size limit is 10,000 in either dimension so it sounds like you're within the program limits. Are you running out of RAM? Are you exporting to a drive that's powered on with enough room to store the photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have a PC with 2G of RAM (XP Pro), and have no problem saving 16 bit scans as either TIFF or PSD from Photoshop. You may be running out of scratch space or memory for such a large file. My 6x6 scans are 8500x8500 when cropped just inside the natural borders. Including the borders can affect the color balance and exposure, but not whether the file can be processed or saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radugrindei Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Tried the date solution, no effect. Tried the reinstall solution no effect. I run a Core2Duo 2.6GHz, 4Gb Ram, 2x36Gb Raptors 10.000 rotations, in RAID stripping, i really doubt it's an issue of resources. Moreover, in CS2 they work. Any other ideas why my 8k x 8x tiffs won't export from LR? (I REPEAT: EXPORT, not IMPORT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radugrindei Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have tried it on another computer, same thing. I will try to scan with someting else then The scanner's software. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radugrindei Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well, seems that after uninstalling and installing Adobe software I can save the tiffs in CS3 (in LR still not). So I do a downsizing in CS3 to 6000x6000 and then import in LR, make adjustments and after that export to jpg. I will experience with scanning directly in 3000dpi to get a file about that big and try to import them directly in LR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radugrindei Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 I will. Hope they won't request a sample 250Mb tiff via email! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
