Save as TIFF
« on: October 14, 2010, 08:30:20 AM »
I am using version 4.6.5 on Windows 7

When viewing and selecting DNG files in Photomechanic, if I choose save as TIFF I am ending up with VERY small TIFF files...is there any way to adjust this to save as full scale TIFF in 8 or 16 bit mode?

Are you applying any crops or scaling?

What do the crops look like?  Are they really small?

What is the DPI of the image in Photoshop, and what is the image's Canvas size?

What happened to your original RAW files?  What happens if you open the DNG up in Photoshop?

After saving as TIFF:

1.951 wide
2.926 height
Resolution is 350 on some, 240 on others

If you open it as a DNG directly from Photoshop:

20.4 wide
13.6 height

resolution is at 240...

The original RAW files were on my epson drive that was stolen on a recent trip....and cards have since been formatted over....I am trying to avoid working the images one by one to ensure I capture high enough scale and resolution/size....

Is there no further direction? At this time I have tested importing the images into Lightroom and exporting them as 16 bit tiffs, which seems to work...I just assumed Photomechanic would have a way to revert to the original file......

Photo Mechanic cannot revert a DNG file to the original RAW file.  Adobe's tools can do that if you embedded the original RAW file inside the DNG file when the DNG was created.

If you want to send me one of your DNG files that save as a really small TIFF file, I'd be happy to look at it and see what is going on.  Please click on my name to the left of this message, then click on the 'personal message' link.  I will respond with upload instructions.
