P: Support for BigTiff file format

[marekt93604610]

Dear Adobe team, you must see there is a growing demand for big file use in Photoshop. It is nice, that we have the possibility to save as PSB, but most other tools which i have to work with do not support PSB nor PSD. While Photoshop can read, open and edit BigTiff files, it is unable to save them. We are almost at the and of 2020, please make this a possibility. There are tools out there, that can do math operations Photoshop can not. Aswell as there is Photoshop, that can do things the other tools are unable to. Please connect this by allowing to save with the BigTiff file format. It would certainly expand the possibilities of what we can do with your software.

Hi

Feature request can be made on the Adobe Feedback Forum

[GeoPalStudio]

I would love to see BigTiff write support as well!

To serve my clients well, I would like PS to be able to save BigTiff

I also need BigTiff read/write support in Photoshop.

Since Adobe owns and controls TIFF (and, of course DNG its cousin, as well as PSD/PSB), it seems like something they could do if there are enough votes above. Hence, I just voted. 

Of course, Lightroom Classic needs to support this all fully as well.

Yes, please support saving large image files in the BigTIFF file format. This would be tremendously important to institutions archiving large image files.

These days, working with high-res cameras and tiling/stitching, this is a real necessity to have! Please add BigTiff asap
Thanks.

Anyone doing art documentation / cultural heritage photography knows how we exceed the format restrictions pretty quickly. It's time for Adobe to support gigapixel iamging, ina  variety of ways. Starting with format support is a great way to start that would be immediately appreciated by many.

like all others here at the Rijksmuseum we want big Tiff as well to be able to share images and to archive all big files.

In Cultural Heritage Photography the access to BigTiff or GeoTiff is esential.

Imagine photographing artwork such as large painting of 4:2,5 meters size, which according to the standars has to be reproduced in 600 ppi in 1:1 scale with 25% overlap between the tiles. That will result with more than 500 images and close to 100,000 pixels on the long side, then the output tiff needs to be scaled down dramatically (close to 50%) meaning that if the galery will never be able to give access to the full size image to the public.

Google Arts and Culture reselved the issue by creating propietary system to capture, stitch and display such painintgs but the access to this limited and not every institution will want to work with Google. Now that is the time Adobe has a chance to benefit the community of Cultural Heritage porfessional users and make a huge impact on general public.

+1 support for BigTIFF write support in Adobe software. Things are accelerating fast and the opportunities to use increasingly high resolution image files are growing, but this tech support is vital if Adobe-based workflows are going to remain usable.

Bigtiff is becoming absolutely necessary as cameras are increasing in resolution and Cultural Heritage practitioners do more and more tiling and stitching to create super high resolution images. Please add asap
