I have recently downloaded and installed the Beta 3 build of Lightroom for the PC. I must admit that for raw processing, this product could spoil me a bit. However, after processing the first test print I experienced some unexpected behavior when attempting to print with IP.
My test workflow is:
Lightroom Beta 3 --> Export to TIF --> Photoshop CS2 --> Save TIF for Printing
--> Print using IP
When going to print using Image Print (IP), I attempted to import the TIF file produced by Lightroom/Photoshop, IP either could not read the file or seemed to have trouble digesting it (it took forever to load).
On further investigation, I realized that Lightview was exporting the TIF file as follows, and Photoshop was passing these defaults along when using "Save As" function:
- Image Compression: ZIP
- Pixel Order: Per Channel
- Layer Compression: ZIP
By Changing the TIF options to:
- Image Compression: None
- Pixel Order: Interleaved
- Layer Compression: ZIP
… IP was again able to load (quickly) the TIF file and print successfully. The final product (the print!) was excelent and all told.. I was happy with the results.
NOTE: The title of this post should have read Lightroom, not Lightview! It must be Friday!
