tif Files

[CribIt]

Any idea how to convert a tif image to something else so it can be enlarged and digitally printed?

you can print a tiff file, at least I can in versaworks.

i can print a tiff from omega to my edge....otherwise, i'd suggest taking into photopaint or photoshop...convert it to rgb or cmyk then resave as another file type

File> export> then pick your file type.

Why can't you enlarge the tiff and print it?

I'm actually sending it to another member on here to enlarge and print.
I have a feeling it's just being saved as a tif. This was on a disc from a photo store.

TIF is just one image format among many and is widely used because of its lossless compression scheme. Any printer should be able to use it.

Enlarging any image file, regardless of the particular format is another matter altogether and should not be done by anyone who is not familiar with the associated challenges and difficulties in doing this satisfactorily.

Depending on the RIP being used to print, it can stay as a tif, or can be converted in photoshop to a psd in the correct working space.

I thought he should be able to also but he says he couldn't open it. I got it converted to a jpeg and everything is ok now.
Thanks guys.
