Adding compression to tiff files

Hi,

 

I have thousands of tiff files in my LR 4.1 catalog. I'd like to convert all of these files to tiffs that use zip compression. Preferably, I'd like to do the conversion in-place but LR won't allow me to overwrite the originals in-place.

 

So, I think I have to either export all of the images and either add them to the catalog during the export process *or* manually import them again.

 

I do *not* want to lose any of the LR edits I've made to these files and I think I will do exactly that if I use either of the conversion methods I noted above.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might do this?

 

Thank you in advance!

 

RJ
