Can you export a raw file photo with Lightroom adjustments attached?

Can you export a raw file photo from Lightroom with Lightroom adjustments attached in some way?  If not what is the equivalent?  There are some individuals I would like to send the full data of the raw file, but with the non-destructive Lightroom adjustments layered on top.
--Gerry 

You can select "Original" as the file type, in Export. This saves out a copy of the imported source file into the selected location, labelling the current adjustments onto that image. When this is sent to somebody and imported to LR / opened in ACR, these metadata will be found and used automatically, with the exact same outcome as within your own LR Catalog - provided the LR / ACR versions are sufficiently compatible, and provided camera and lens profiles applied to the image, are present in both contexts.
LR uses whatever method is normal when writing metadata, for each file type involved. So, if one imported file is a proprietary Raw file, LR will write an XMP file alongside. If another is capable of having metadata written into its file header, LR will do that instead.
One important difference between doing this, vs writing LR metadata out to your original imported file, and sending that: the Export Original method will work in the same way, just as successfully, for one or more Virtual Copy versions (duplicating physically as needed), as it will for the primary Master version - relating to a given imported file.

  • Is there any way to copy a photo with Lightroom adjustments without making a separate copy?

    I do most of my printing from lightroom. I generally set up my image the way I want it for printing on photo paper, and then I make other copies and adjustments for printing on things like Canvas, coffee cups, tiles, etc.
    The problem I have is I set up templates in photoshop, say for a coffee cup, which will have the correct dimensions, perhaps some text, etc. To get to the lightroom photo with the lightroom adjustments I have to "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments" in photoshop, then copy and paste the image to the template in photoshop. Now I have another copy of the image on my harddrive and in lightroom. So after I copy the image in photoshop, I close it go back to lightroom and delete the copy I just made. Besides the extra fragging on the harddrive this creates, I know I am setting myself to delete the wrong photo by accident through repetition, and it is extra work.
    How can get a copy of a photo with Lightroom adjustments to the clipboard without making another physical copy of the photo?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Godspeed,
    Bruce

    I may not be the best resource for tiles and cups, I've just started printing to them. Basically I'm doing them using an epson printer with dye sublimation inks printing on transfer paper and then doing the transfer at 400 degrees with a press. I wanted to be able to do my own to get the cost down, and wanted to be able to make it actually usable, (dishwasher safe, etc) so this is the best route I've found. I had to get a new printer, 2 presses, a bulk ink system, and the supplies to print on so it is a pretty hefty up front expense. It can be done cheaper though using a mug wrap heated in an oven (not your cooking oven though). I worked with the folks at Conde to get set up, and they seem pretty good. But I'm still early in the learning curve, so I would be able to tell you a lot more in 6 months.

  • Why can't I open RAW files taken with my Nikon D3200 in Elements 10?

    Is there a fix in the works that will allow me to open RAW files taken with my Nikon D3200?

    Actually the 7.1 camera raw update covers the D3200, but for whatever reason adobe has denied users of pse 10 that update.
    Maybe it will still be released, but to me something else seems to be up, because in the past the latest version of elements (at least on windows) was always updated
    to the latest version of camera raw at the same time photoshop was.
    In the meantime you could download the 7.1 DNG converter to convert your files to dng copies which will then open in pse 10.

    I know this stinks, but other than using the camera makers or aftermarket raw programs (lightroom), that's the best i can suggest for now.

  • How do you export a RAW file from Lightroom?

    I am trying to export my RAW files to my desktop (on a mac) so that I can send the files via email. Is this possible?

    You can't save it as the original RAW file, (e.g. .CR2 or .NEF) but you can export as a DNG file. Go to File settings > Image Format > DNG.
    P.S. You should be able to send an NEF or CR2 file by email as long as it doesn't exceed the file size limit

  • Can I export a RAW file with adjustments?

    And keep it in RAW format? Is there a way to do this?

    The reason this is impossible is that RAW is not actually an image format. It is simply the data dump from the sensor in your camera. Aperture and other programs decode this raw "feed" and translate it into an image, but the RAW file itself is not an image. It is always translated.
    But if you mean how do you get an uncompressed image with the maximum amount of image data including your edits, the answer is simple: 16 bit TIFF.
    Brace yourself for a VERY large file, but 16 bit TIFF is what you want if you are after maximum image data in the file.

  • Can you save Canon RAW files as TIFF in iPhoto 6?

    I was just wondering...
    Can you save imported Canon RAW (.cr2) files as TIFF files in iPhoto 6? I know you can view RAW files in iPhoto, but I need to edit them in Photoshop CS, which I don't think supports Canon RAW.
    Thanks!
    eMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Photoshop CS, not CS2 or CS3, etc...

    Robert:
    Yes, you can export them to the desktop and select
    tiff as the format to save as.
    Have you tried opening the cr2 files with CS2? PSCS3
    can open and edit them.
    Do you
    Twango?
    I am stuck with Photoshop CS, and have not chosen to upgrade to CS2 or CS3 at this time. For now, I will use iPhoto to export RAW files as TIFF and open them in Photoshop. Thanks for your help!

  • How can I process a raw Sony photo with ARW extension in Elements or Lightroom?

    I have a new Sony camera and I like to shoot in raw format.  Elements and Lightroom do not appear to recognize the Sony ARW extension. What do I need to download to make this work???

    You need camera raw 8.3 for your camera - Sony DSC-RX10. It is only compatible with PSE12 and LR5. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • PS CS2 can't open D80 Raw files even with correct plug-in

    I am on a PC running Photoshop CS2. I cannot open RAW images from my Nikon D80. I have installed the Camera RAW plug-in (3.6) as instructed. The files still won't open. I'm very frustrated.

    No, you are not doing things correctly yet. The DNG converter is a separate, stand-alone program. It does not require Photoshop or any other program other than your operating system to run. You use it to convert your raw images to the Digital negative (DNG) format, and then you would open those DNG files with Photoshop CS and the correctly installed Camera Raw 2.4. The DNG files still contain all of the raw data, and you can achieve the same results from those files as you can the original raw files from your camera. If you are not willing or able to update your version of Photoshop, then this is the route you will have to go in order to work on your raw images.
    Added later: since the DNG converter is a separate program, it can be placed anywhere on your computer. I find it easy to simply leave it on the desktop so that I can drag the images from my camera (via card reader) onto the DNG converter. Then all you have to do is follow the prompts in the DNG converter to configure the conversion the way you want it.

  • Will Canon 5d Mark III Raw files work with Lightroom 3

    I have just tried to upload Raw files from a Canon 5d Mark III to Lightroom 3.  The file were not recognised.  I believe there were some update issues but my Lightroom 3 is updated.  Do I need to get Lightroom 4?  I need to know urgently as I have a shoot tomorrow and will go back to my Mrk II if I can't get an update for Lightroom 3.
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    LR3 DOES NOT support Canon 5D3, 1Dx, Nikon D800 or Nikon D4.
    Newer cameras wont work in it, and require LR4 for RAW processing (Tethering in LR4 STILL is not supported)
    However,
    LR4 is massively buggy, and slow to a point where it is practically unuseable for anything other than a handful of images to edit.
    Also, LR4 will not tether to the new cameras (for that, try ANY of the competing professional software, Aperture, Capture One - They work just fine)
    You can, convert your 5D3 files to DMG, and then open them in LR3 that way, or you can get LR4 and deal with it's massively awful slow issues that Adobe has still not resolved 5.5 months after launch, or you can use other software.
    Those are your options.

  • Help! I can't open canon raw files .CR2 with PSE 7.0 after installing plug in.

    I have a Canon rebel EOS T1i camera and have been shooting in RAW (.CR2) format.  I have tried installing the latest ACR plug-in and when I try to open the .CR2 file I get an error message stating that it is unrecognizable.  It is very frustrating and I hope someone can help me with this issue.  Thanks!

    You need to make sure you have the latest version of ACR which is version 5.6. Some of the Adobe links are not what they seem and lead to earlier versions. Use the download for PSE8; it will work with PSE7.

  • Can you export a raw image to an external editor?

    Just wondering if Aperture 2 will allow you to edit a raw image in an external editor (Nikon Capture NX) as a raw image not as a tiff?
    Thanks.

    Shannon,
    It would appear that this cannot be done, due to no option for that file type when exporting a Version, and the file type is only available when exporting a Master, which by definition does not have the adjustments.
    To start a new topic you must open one of the forums within the Aperture group, such as Aperture Installation, Setup and General Usage. Then you will find a Link near the top left to Post New Topic.

  • Can you EXPORT A PDF file as an attachment in an Email to 1,000 subscribers

    If this is the same PDF file for all the recipients then Sabian's reply is correct. If you're looking for a mail-merge operation (ie, send a customized version of the PDF to each recipient), that's a whole other matter.

  • Lumix GX7 RAW files incompatible with Lightroom 4.4?

    Hello,
    I have used Lightroom 4.4 successfully with Lumix GF1 .RW2 files but I just discovered Lightroom 4.4 does not recognize Lumix GX7 .RW2 files.
    Do I need to upgrade to Lightroom 5? I checked for updates on 4.4 and I am up-to-date.
    Any advice would be helpful.

  • How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

    How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

    See if any of this info will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • I Just converted my iPhoto library to Photos. Now I can't find my RAW files. I need to have all the images in my old library show up in their RAW format.

    I Just converted my iPhoto library to Photos. Now I can't find my RAW files. I need to have all the images in my old library show up in their RAW format.

    Unfortunately no - Photos use extensions and the vendor (adobe) will have to implement the extension to allow external edits in PS or PSE
    For now you must export the photo, edit and then import - not great but a work arond
    And you can continue to use iPhoto until Photos meets your needs - launch it in your applications folder - if you need assistance on this see Why won't my iPhotos open?
