Importing non JPG images from a PSPA CD
Table of Contents
⚠️ Important
The PSPA importer only supports JPEG (.jpg / .jpeg) image files.
If your PSPA CD contains unsupported formats such as TIFF (.tif / .tiff), those files must be converted before importing.
📋 Before You Begin
Before starting, make sure you:
✅ Have access to the PSPA CD files
✅ Create a folder on your computer for the copied files
✅ Have an image converter installed
Recommended Tools
- Adobe Bridge
- Adobe Photoshop (Image Processor)
- XnConvert
- IrfanView
-
Any bulk image converter
📝Note
Any image conversion software that supports batch processing can be used to convert unsupported file types into JPEG format.
💾 Step 1: Copy the PSPA CD to Your Computer
- Insert the PSPA CD into your computer.
- Open the CD contents.
- Copy all files and folders.
- Paste them into a new folder on your desktop or another easy-to-find location.
⚠️ Do not import directly from the CD.
Always import from a local folder.
🔄 Step 2: Convert Unsupported Images to JPEG
- Open your preferred image conversion tool.
- Select the folder containing your copied PSPA files.
- Enable Include Subfolders if available.
- Set the source file type to TIFF (.tif / .tiff) or your unsupported format.
- Set the output format to JPEG (.jpg).
- Start the conversion.
Recommended Settings
✅ High quality (90–100%)
✅ Keep original file names when possible
✅ Preserve folder structure
📥 Step 3: Import the Converted Folder
Once the conversion is complete:
- Return to your project.
- Open the PSPA Importer.
- Select the converted folder on your computer.
- Start the import.
Your JPEG images should now import successfully.
💡 Tips
- Keep the original PSPA files until you confirm the import is complete.
- If duplicate files are created, import the JPEG versions only.
- Some PSPA CDs may already contain a mix of JPEG and TIFF files. Only unsupported files need to be converted.
