Just like the titles says. When i edit in CS5 and save as Tiff, i cant seem to open them in DPP, actually they dont even show up in DPP. Id like to print the images from DPP (prints look better)

Thank you :D

Thanks, im not 100% on what i understood, Some said they could open Tiff and some say they couldnt. So cant I?


On the other hand the Canon Pixma 9000 II printer came with Photoshop elements 6, so maybe i can open and print from there?

Thanks for the help.

There's more to it than just saying they are tiff files. For example, does DPP support layers in .tif files?

Not sure, Just converting RAW to Tiff in CS5.

I used to use Gimp and I found that if I flattened the layers when I saved a tif file in Gimp it worked just fine in DPP. But if I merged the layers, DPP wouldn't even open them. I don't know the difference between flatten and merge, but I use Elements now instead of Gimp and it doesn't seem to be an issue.

DPP does have "issues" with tiffs from other apps. If you are just looking to use DPP to print, I'd convert to a high-quality jpeg in Photoshop and then open it in DPP (or ZoomBrowser).

I wish you would expand on that statement that prints from DPP look better than prints from PSCS5. I suppose there could be differences because they use different color management engines, DPP using Windows CMS and PS using ACE. Personally I have never been thrilled by CMS, but its a matter of taste and I haven't actually tried printing from DPP.

If you want to open the tifs in order to edit them further in DPP, that's just crazy.

Thank you, that's interesting. That image that you did the test on, in what color space was it? And what rendering intent did you use?

Well, It was in Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Pro paper other, Color match. Then i discovered that it looked better in sRGB, color match. I just compared a old print to a new print using new refill inks.
