[Nuke-users] Tiff format - single strip ?

2011-09-26 Thread Mike Pope

I have a client requesting tiff format in 1 single strip, containing all rows. 
Apparently what I am writing out from Nuke is not in this format. I am writing 
out 8 bit, uncompressed. How can I force Nuke to write out 1 single strip tiff 
? Also, how can I check that this is the case ?
Cheers M.

 On my latest show I tested shooting uncompressed for vfx, especially for
 screens.  And counter intuitively the prores actually plays a little nicer,
 at least on the old lenses we are shooting with.  The uncompressed was
 giving us a hard edge ringing that had to be stomped down while the prores
 softened it out and we could pull keys more efficiently.

 Hi,
 
 First of all, I have no intention to bother all members in this regard but
 looking for some help about the mail list and its corresponding forum
 interface.
 
 I tried to log in the forum (http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php)
 but have no clue about the user name? There is no user name when I
 subscribe the mail list. The only info I have is my subscription email and
 corresponding password to the mail list. I couldn't create an user name with
 the same email address I used for mail list registration as it'll show the
 email address is used. Should I create a new account with a different email
 address just for the forum log-in?
 
 Thanks,
 Jason

 I know what  mean but that is about as obscure a use of tiff encoding that
exist.   Its for multipage tiff files.   This is not used by any movie image
program I am aware off.   Its most often used for the same way a PDF would
work.   What is this delivery for?

Re: [Nuke-users] Tiff format - single strip ?

2011-09-26 Thread Jerry Huxtable
I'm assuming that by strip we're referring to the TIFF usage, which means the 
image is not tiled.
Nuke does write out a single strip TIFF image with all rows. Here's the TIFF 
header of a file from Nuke:

TIFF Directory at offset 0x3ff1c (261916)
  Image Width: 2048 Image Length: 1556
  Resolution: 72, 72 (unitless)
  Bits/Sample: 8
  Compression Scheme: Deflate
  Photometric Interpretation: RGB color
  Samples/Pixel: 3
  Rows/Strip: 21
  Planar Configuration: single image plane

I think you need to get more information from your client as to what is wrong 
with the images.

You can use the tiffcopy command available from libtiff.org to convert TIFF 
images between tiled and stripped.
