Linking Raw and JPEG Proxies in a Catelog

Hello I have three different questions here:
1. I was curious if there's a way to re link RAW files with the JPEGs once we enter Meta Data in a New Catalog? 
2. Is there a way to HIDE the RAW files from other users?
3. When we make a new XMP file is there a way to KEEP the original XMP without replacing it?

Perhaps this is the one I was thinking of, but I honestly don't know what it can and cannot do: robcole.com - RawPlusJpeg
Lightroom is a one-user program. There cannot be simultaneous multi-user access. If you really need true multi-user access, you might want to look into software named Daminion (note: I only state it is multi-user, and I am not endorsing it in any way as I have not used it).
As I'm not really familiar with your application, I can only give mild advice (which might be completely off target), but the idea of putting such emphasis on XMP files seems contrary to what Lightroom is all about, where metadata and edits are stored in the catalog file itself. So I feel like you are heading in the wrong direction. Or maybe it means you shouldn't be using Lightroom.

  • The raw portion of a referenced master got separated from its jpeg pair when I was relocating originals.  Can I recombine the raw and jpeg pair?

    Hi, I'm a fairly new Aperture user and have just started storing my photos on an external hard drive. An error message appeared when I was relocating originals of a project. It stopped relocating at one image, saying that the jpeg file did not exist. I found the raw file name under the new project folder that I was relocating it to, but it's jpeg pair did not move. The file names look identical except one ends in .JPG and the other as .NEF. I tried to combine originals, but I got the same error message and when I looked at the files the raw now had (1) attached to it, whereas the jped didn't. The Aperture window started to close unexpectedly many times. I tried Repair Permissions and Repair Database and that seemed to stop Aperture from closing unexpectedly, but the raw and jpeg  pair are still in separate folders. How can I get them paired up again or does it matter? I'm using Mac OS X and Aperture version 3.4.5.
    Thanks,
    sophie

    If you don't take care when choosing the location for referenced images, you can create some problems for yourself.
    From an operational perspective 'Managed' images means Aperture will take care of the image file storage for you, 'Referenced' means you will take care of it yourself.
    There are a number of things that may have happened but this is what I think is most likely:
    If you shoot a lot of photos with the same brand of camera, eventually you'll end up with duplicate file names, for example two different files called DSC_1234.NEF. If you attempt to store these in the same folder yourself, worse case scenario is you may inadvertently overwite one of the files. If you use Aperture to relocate, you'll get one of the files with a new name of DSC_1234 (1).NEF.
    So your first step is to figure out what these files really are. Are they duplicates, or are they different files with the same name, and do they each have a matching .JPG
    Aperture has the tools to fix up the problem, but you need to confirm what the problem is first.
    If you don't have many of the (1) files, it may be worth continuing your 'relocate' to subfolders - making sure your subfolder hierarchy doesn't cause duplicate names to be stored together. Then when everything else is stored correctly, address the problem images by moving them to where they should be, with the right name and the JPG/NEF pairs together.
    You can then search for missing files in Aperture and use the 'Locate Referenced Images' to reconnect them with Aperture.

  • I have uploaded raw and jpeg files directly from my camera to my iPad (latest version) I have processed them in snapseed and want now to transfer back to my pc for further processing. How can I do this will a flash drive work?

    I have processed my raw and jpeg files on my iPad using Snapseed . What format are they saved in on the iPad and how do I transfer them back to my pc where I use photoshop elements. Can I use just an ordinary flaws drive with the USB adaptor? Thanks any help would be appreciated.

    The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files form a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.

  • Help with managing RAW and jpeg images and installing iphoto 9

    Greetings: Fist, let me make the neophyte apology and plea - I'm sorry, I should have come here first; I didn't and now I need your help.
    I have just purchased a macbook pro (still in its box) with updated software for my older imac os x. I have a number of Canon related photo editing programs (that came with my 40D digital SLR) and Adobe photo elements 6 for mac on the imac. Following some erroneous advice I have made a complete mess of the pictures folder's content by trying to delete images directly from that folder (there are now 6000+ images in the folder, many of which are duplicates(?). Most of the images are not tagged or labeled and some have been organized in/by iphoto (I corrupted the iphoto's library structure very early on by disrupting and editing its images - which might explain why iphoto had a difficult time 'finding' and displaying some of my photos). The picture folder now holds jpegs, smallRAW images (a Canon 40D photo format) and various duplicates of the orignal images - (some of the duplicates don't display as images, but as jpeg logos, which, when opened contain duplicate image or are completely black) The first time I downloaded RAW images into iphoto 6 the RAW data displayed as a black image. When shooting in smallRAW on the Canon 40D, the camera produces a jpeg image for 'easy viewing and editing in the camera' but it looks as though iphoto 6 made duplicates of the jpeg and the RAW data and stored them in different locals in the picture file. In an attempt to get the number of images down, I have been trying to delete them from the picture folder. (My daughters both download images rather indiscriminately in hopes of 'editing them on the computer' which inevitably does not happen) and there is a lot of experimental bracketing of images - shooting raw and different Camera formats etc., all of which need to be cleaned up before I proceed.
    Sometime in the not-too-distant future I would like to have iphoto 9 running on my imac with a clean library of images and a seamless way of downloading, editing and storing images (including the RAW data).
    The macbook pro is for my highschool-aged daughter, who will run iphoto 9 but not have any RAW image data on her system. She would like to copy some of the old iMac's images to put into her own iPhoto 9 library (probably using a disk, email or on-line photo service - ideally, I would like to be able to copy and remove a number of those images from my HD and give them to her for the macbook)
    A few questions and queries: Can I 'dis-able' iphoto 6, while I delete images (RAW and jpeg) from the picture file? (and is this even a good idea).
    Once I have edited the # of images down to a reasonable size, should I re-launch iphoto 6, rebuild the iphoto library and then update to iphoto 9 or skip v6 and rebuild with v9?
    And now for the 'how stupid is this guy question' - I really had planned to purchase an external backup; but between new the macbook, car repairs and braces it has never come to fruition. So, I have never properly backed up my images. What is the bare-bones, least expensive method for me to do this? I'd even consider burning everything to disks if that works. I can't afford the $ to purchase a new external hard drive right now (really). Budget is set aside mid-November for one though.
    I've been looking through some other discussion boards and it looks like I'm not the only one having RAW image issues. I know that shooting smallRAW with the companion jpeg is probably not helping things but I take my camera equipment on extended canoe trips - and we like the ease of on-the-spot editing with this format.
    Thanks in advance for your help - Mark

    Terence, Is the picture folder the primary source for the images or does that data reside somewhere else?
    If you gathered them there, then yes.
    I really don't want to have to go through 14,000 images looking for the pictures that I want to keep (or is that my only option?).
    Only you can decide what you want to keep.
    Why does the computer keep making copies of the images and filing them under date and events?
    That's how iPhoto works. It's not a problem usually, only you did go in there and make a problem, and now we are trying to fix it.
    You advise not to muck around in the picture file via preview,
    No I don't. I advise not to much around in the iPhoto Library Folder.
    but if I download images through a program other than iPhotos - image capture or adobe aren't I doing that anyway?
    Adobe what? Adobe is a software manufacturer who make many excellent applications, you need to be more precise. And no, if you import photos with Image Capture or “adobe” no you are not interfering with the iPhoto Library Folder.
    Can you edit a base image file somewhere and remove it from the HD without iphoto making a copy of it and storing it somewhere else?
    This is stunningly easy. Don't use iPhoto. Use an image editor.
    I want to look the negatives, decide which ones I want and throw the rest away. Can that be done or am I way off course?
    Yes, and iPhoto (or similar apps) make this really easy.
    Hook up your camera. Import the pics to iPhoto. Go through the imported pics. Trash the ones you don't want. Then process the ones you do. But you must learn how to use iPhoto to do this successfully
    To trash: put the pic in the iPhoto trash and empty it. This removes the file from iPhoto and the Hard Disk.
    Process it: If you want to use another editor: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Difficulty navigating to and identifying my RAW and JPEG Images

    Hi,
    I have several related issues that I would appreciate help with.
    I am finding difficulty navigating to and identifying my RAW and JPEG images in Aperture. I do actually principally work with JPEG and only use RAW when I perceive there to be a benefit by improving a poorly captured image.
    To give you some background.  I am using an iMac OSX 10.8.3 and Aperture 3.4.3 Camera Raw 4.04. When I Import images I import both RAW and JPEG using RAW as the original.
    At the Import stage both RAW and JPEG thumbnails are displayed. However once imported only one thumbnail is displayed in the Library on some occasions this will be the JPEG and on other occasions the RAW (as identified from the Info tab. How can I select which version to work with?
    I would appreciate assistance with this.
    Regards,
    John

    It is possible to see the Raw master along side the Jpg master if you wish.
    When a version is created (make new version from original) it is created off the original that is currently selected. So if the jpg image is the current original all versions created will be made off the jpg image. Likewise if the raw is the current original all versions created will be made off the raw image.
    Also keep in mind that a version that has no adjustments applied to it is identical to the original it was made from.
    So to get both along side each other do:
    Set raw as original, create new version from original. Label this version Raw original version. Now switch to jpg as original. Make a version from this and label it Jpg original version.
    Just ensure you never apply adjustments to these two images and you will always have both the jpg and raw images available to compare.
    In addition if say the jpg is the original and you want to make a version from the raw, instead of switching the jpg and raw you can just go to the Raw original version and duplicate it.

  • Import RAW and jpeg

    If I try to import both RAW and JPEG from the same folder or from the same card LR only imports the RAW files. I usually shoot RAW and JPEG simutaneously so they both have the same filename but different file types. Photshop handles this OK so whats going on?

    It would probably have been better to start a new thread, rather than attaching your new question on the end of a 3 year-old thread, but anyway, by JEP do you mean JPG?  Where are you seeing JEP/JPG?  The RAW files from your camera won't say .RAW as the extension, but .CRW or .CR2 if Canon RAW and .NEF if Nikon RAW, and perhaps some other extension for a different manufacturer.
    As far as shot-specific information: shutter-speed, aperture, ISO and focal-length are shown several different places such as under the histogram, in the metadata panel in Library mode, and in the Info Overlay in Loupe view in Library and Develop modes.  You can define what specific things you want to display in the limited area using View / View Options.  You can use the I key to cycle between nothing, Loupe Info 1 and Loupe Info 2.
    For learning photography, shutter, aperture, ISO and focal-length are mostly what you'd need, along with white-balance color-temperature which is visible in Develop mode.  Some camera-manufacturer-specific programs can also show things like which focus-points were enabled, but Lightroom works with many, many cameras from various manufacturers and things like focus-points are recorded differently from each manufacturer so LR doesn't attempt to decode and show such less-standardized information.
    If you really want to see ALL the information encoded in an image--the EXIF data, then download EXIFtool and drag-and-drop an image to the EXE that has (-k) in the name and you'll see a very long list of information, most of it irrelevant to general photography and, again, different for different cameras, where LR is trying to show things that are common to all cameras.
    EXIFtool is available from:  http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

  • Shooting in Raw and JPEG

    Hi,
    I am really new to Elements, and am having trouble using the Editor!
    My camera shoots in Raw and JPEG (Sony A100), so I have to go through one by one and delete the JPEGs after uploading. I have looked at all of the Help function in Elements, and can't find a way to delete the JPEGs as I upload them, without having to do it the long way!
    Can anyone suggest a quick way around?
    Thanks v much

    I tend to disagree with the statements about the Downloader. In terms of resources it consumes they are neglibible - 8Mbytes from total system memory of 1Gbyte in my case. They are not active until invoked.
    I have found no easier way than using the Adobe Downloader once setup.
    1. Plug card into reader
    2. Click on Get Photos
    It also allows me to choose which Adobe Program the download should be to.
    I can't see that using Windows Explorer is more efficient.
    1. Open Explorer
    2. Set up Folder
    3. Drag and drop images from reader
    4. Startup Elements
    5. Get Photos
    However, as always the choice is ours and should be whatever we're comfortable with.

  • Backups of raw and Jpeg images

    I currently backup my iphoto library via time machine and keep a second copy of another USB HD. However the backup is the iphoto library, how do I back up the raw and jpeg images so that they are not within the library so that I could access them from a non apple pc?
    I just would like the added security.
    Thanks
    Peter

    You'll need to export them from the Library.
    Select an Event or Album in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export
    In the resulting dialogue you have a number of options:
    From the dropdown you can select the Kind to export:
    Originals will get you exactly that: the original files. These will be the contents of the Event as per the iPhoto Window.
    Current will get you the most recent versions of the files: a mix of edited and unedited pics. Again, the contents as per the iPhoto Window.
    Tiff and Jpeg options allow you to export the current versions in those formats and you can the metadata - tiles, keywords, descriptions and locations - to the files on export.
    PnG does not have the option to write the metadata as that format has very limited support for it.
    There are other options for file size and naming and so on.

  • Show both RAW and JPEG in browser view

    I exported an original and full-sized edited JPEG from Lightroom. I then imported both files into Aperture 3 with the RAW as master. I would like to know how I can view both the RAW and JPEG in the browser view. I know I can switch which is the master.

    Ideally you will want to set this at the import stage, in the import dialogue box the Raw+JPEG Pairs menu gives you the option to bring them in as separate masters.
    That said...
    Pulldown menu/Photos/Duplicate Version
    now with a duplicate right click the duplicate and select set JPEG/RAW as Master
    you now have both.

  • Organizing raw and jpeg of same pic

    i shoot my photos in raw and jpeg formats with my canon camera.  when i tried to organize them in elements organizer i see the same picture twice.  how do i make my organizer cleaner by only showing the picture only once?  i think i had done it before when i had pse on trial period, but since i have just reformatted my computer and installed my pse and pre full version i don't remember how i did it before.  thank you very much for your help.

    thanks for your answer.  ever since i switched my point and shoot camera to my new canon camera i have been shooting in raw and jpeg mode so i have a ton of folders with pictures in both formats.  i will try your suggestion to see if that will help.  thanks again.

  • RAW and JPEG Management

    I'm shooting RAW (to CF card) + JPEG (to SD card) on my Canon 5D Mk III. When I import to Lightroom 4.1 RC2 I see the JPEG and RAW (CR2) image side by side. I'm coming from Aperture 3 where the two gets stacked together and I can select which one (the JPEG or RAW) is master.
    Is there any way I can do something similar in Lightroom? It's annoying me to have the JPEG and RAW side by side in a collection. (Looking for a setting or something automatic that happens on import.)
    Thanks!

    There is an autostacking option in Photo->Stacking that can do what you want. It will automatically stack images with the same capture time (such as a raw and jpeg from the same exposure). You can swicth the frontmost one of a stack in a similar fashion as in Aperture with Set Copy as Master in the Photo menu. I don't think you can do the autostacking immediately on import so you will have to invoke the autostack yourself.

  • RAW and JPEG as one thumbnail ?

    Hi there,
    is it possible to view RAW+JPEG as one thumbnail in Bridge like in Lightroom? I shoot RAW and JPEG and so i see the same picture 2 times. One RAW Version and one JPEG.
    I want to see them both as one thumbnail. They should be grouped together. So if i delete it the RAW and the JPEG version gets deleted.
    please help!
    regards,
    Mari

    You still don't understand what i mean and you seem to have no idea what i'm talking about. But it's okay..
    Maybe you should read a little more about how LR works before you write about things you clearly don't know anything about.
    i explain it to you one last time: I have RAW and JPEG Files. I'm looking only at the RAW Files when i sort out my photos and i don't want to delete the JPEGs manually. So i want Bridge to stack JPG+RAW together so they both get deleted when i delete the image. it's not that hard to understand actually
    For those who understood what my problem was:
    I found a script for LR that does exactly what i was looking for in Bridge: -> RAW + JPG Stack
    So my problem is solved and everythings works fine

  • Importing raw and jpeg pictures in elements 11

    Question on photoshop Elements 11? I shoot in raw and jpeg format. I rename photos of the days shoot with that days date for all photos. This creates renamed files with the same date and the numbers in sequence in paranthesis. Example 1130-2013 (1), 1130-2013 (2) etc. The photos have the same name for the raw as well as the jpeg file. However, when I import these photos into elements 11 the raw files do not have the same image as its corresponding jpeg file  ( but both use the same file name example ( 1130-2013 (1) for the jpeg and 1130-2013 (1) for the raw file --but the pictures are not the same. Help me find out what is wrong me or the program??

    I needed to test, as I almost never shoot in anything but RAW. When shot a couple of photos with my D300 in RAW+JPEG, and imported with a setting of Both (Separate Masters), the JPEG is on the left and the RAW on the right. Please review your settings in this regard, particularly in view of your other topic about not recognizing duplicates, as that makes be wonder if these two observations are related?
