How do I declare Tiff Save Options with Layer Compression value in photoshop?

I am trying to save my images in TIFF, I got the script but it doesn't work. Please help me to fix it

var tiffSaveOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();
    tiffSaveOptions.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW;
    tiffSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;
    tiffSaveOptions.saveImagePyramid = false;
    tiffSaveOptions.transparency = false;
    tiffSaveOptions.interleaveChannels = true;
    tiffSaveOptions.byteOrder = ByteOrder.IBMPC;
    tiffSaveOptions.layerCompression = TIFFEncoding.TIFFZIP; //Also RLE Option
    doc.saveAs((new File(filepath + "/" + filename + ".tiff")),tiffSaveOptions,true);
Solution

  • This one is an easy fix (but took a while to get there ;)

    If you do want the old fashioned PC byte order it's:

    tiffSaveOptions.byteOrder = ByteOrder.IBM;

    although it seems to be outdated (see my link in the comments).

    In order to save with layer compression you need to declare

    tiffSaveOptions.layers = true;

    and then set

    tiffSaveOptions.layerCompression = LayerCompression.ZIP; //Also RLE Option

    Altogether it becomes:

    var tiffSaveOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();
tiffSaveOptions.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW;
tiffSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;
tiffSaveOptions.saveImagePyramid = false;
tiffSaveOptions.transparency = false;
tiffSaveOptions.interleaveChannels = true;
tiffSaveOptions.byteOrder = ByteOrder.IBM;
tiffSaveOptions.layers = true;
tiffSaveOptions.layerCompression = LayerCompression.ZIP; //Also RLE Option
activeDocument.saveAs((new File(filepath + "/" + filename + ".tiff")),tiffSaveOptions,true);
