A grey filter seems to cover my RAW images after importing.

First, I import RAW images from my Nikon 1 v2.
When I start to look at the images at first they appear clear and bright. Within a second it seems that a light grey filter descends over the image, making it look dully and blah. RAW tends to look a bit blah anyway, but this is a muddy appearance.
I don't understand the change back to the image I had first glimpsed when first opening the image. It's just about impossible to reclaim the first appearance using adjustments.
Any body have any idea of what is happening?
Thank you.
Aperture: 3.5.1

Kirby,
Thanks for the quick response.
I went back and re-imported the pics into Aperture using the "RAW only" option. No change, a quick glimpse of bright clarity then covered by mud -- so to speak.
I then tried iPhoto. The jpg pics in iPhoto are slightly, but noticeably, brighter and crisper in iPhoto.
Given: RAW files are made to need adjustment with all the data they hold. Maybe my problem is that I haven't figured out which combination of adjustments to bring about the facsimile of the original image. It just seems like looking through a windshield that can't be cleaned. Admittedly it is a small adjustment necessary, but I'm picky.
Thank you.
Scott

Grainy, pixelated RAW images after import

Help!??? I am having trouble with PS CS-6 displaying/ producing/ saving grainy pictures when import NEF files!!!
When I import all NEF or RAW files into CS6 from Bridge and Camera Raw from the Nikon D200 and D5000, they become grainy/ pixelated. However, RAW files from the D800 did not have problem. I set the Color Space in my Nikons to AdobeRGB, in PS Camera Raw 8.5 to AdobeRGB, in PS CS-6 ColorSpace to AdobeRGB, and Save As Jpeg with Max quality (12). When comparing between CS-6 produced file and the original, I can see a big drop in quality and the picture become grainy and pixelated. What can I do to make this right? Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you!

Can you show us a screen-shot of the raw in Camera Raw that shows this noise, or if you only see it in the saved JPG, then show us a side-by-side of the raw in Camera Raw and the JPG? Show the same area of the photo and zoom to 100%.
It is normal for raw photos to have grain but you can mostly remove it with the Luminance Noise-Reduction sliders in the Detail tab of Camera Raw.
The amount of grain depends on the ISO sensitivity setting on the camera.

Grey filter screen covering cover art on downloaded songs

When I download music (MP3s) from online websites such as thissongslaps.com, thissongissick.com, biggreenbeats.com, and similar websites and go to play them on my iPhone, there is a grey filter covering the cover art displaying the name of the website in a white font. I can tap it and it disappears but every time I go to play another song downloaded from the same site or similar sites, the filter displaying the source reappears. I already removed all of the info from the songs (command+i) aside from the artist and song names but the filters won't stop appearing. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance!

this might sound a little crazy but its worth a try. when my cover art gets messed up it usually just comes out black on my ipod. if that's your problem, what i usually do is when u click on get info and go to artwork, delete the pic even if it shows up perfect in itunes. instead of just adding the pic right then and there again, click ok and leave it without a pic. click info again and add the pic now. it usually works this way for me if u just leave it blank for a sec instead of swapping the pics in and out

How to separate RAW+JPG after import?

Greetings:
Is there a way to separate jpg files from a collection of RAW+JPG images after import? They were imported without checking the "treat raw + jpg files separately" box in preferences. Having worked with them, I would like to simply separate out the jpg sidecar files and quickly post the jpgs.
Is there a way to do this? I've tried changing preferences and re-importing from the combined image folder to another folder, but the resulting jpgs don't show up as files in Finder.
Platform: Mac
Software: Lightroom 4.4
Thanks,
Mike

I'm looking for a solid solution within Lightroom too.
Until that time, maybe http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/RawPlusJpegLrPlugin/ can help you?

How to retrieve original RAW image after cropping and opening RAW file?

Hi
I have a Canon EOS 350D camera and now have PSE 9. I have taken some RAW images & imported them into PSE 9 OK. I know the original RAW image is retained after editing. However, after cropping a RAW image in the Editor and then "Opening" and "Saving as" a PSD or JPEG, I then close the image in Editor and the cropped image appears in the Organiser. That is as it should be, I think. If I then wish to start again from scratch on the original RAW image, it seems to me that I have to manually delete the edited version and the .xmp file in Windows Explorer, and then double click the original RAW file in Windows Explorer, which then opens correctly in PSE 9 Editor. Can this be done from PSE 9?

When you open the original camera raw image, go to the flyout menu
and choose Camera Raw Defaults, that resets everything but the crop, straighten,
and rotatate settings.
To get rid of the crop and/or straighten settings, click and hold on the crop tool and choose Clear Crop.
To reset the Image rotation settings, you have manually rotate back using the image rotate buttons.

Iphoto distorts Raw images on import

Good Afternoon,
Please could some one help with a problem that has started to occur with my RAW images which i have been trying to import from My Canon 700d
When importing to iphoto the pictures seem to distort and either as below go multi coloured or cut half the image off.
i have the latest firmware installed on my camera and have the canon utilities installed on my mac mini and have also tried transfering the images via cable and via a card reader.
the images appear fine on my mac book pro and on the camera
my memory card is also a class 10 30mbps

Try this:
RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
From the post:
The solution was to remove and re-install the RAW support from Apple.
The solution was to
remove "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle" from the /System/Library/Coreservices Folder
(In Terminal.app: "cd /System/Library/CoreServices/", "sudo rm -r *Raw*" (WARNING, THIS REMOVES THE FILES INSTANTLY!))
Reboot the system
Re-Download the Raw Compatibility update 5.06 form Apple Support: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1757 and install it
Restart Aperture, reprocess the affected files and order the photo book.

LR 2.3 applies a green tint to RAW image AFTER making adjustments

Hi all,
Thanks for having this great forum, it looks like there is some great information here. I clicked around the LR threads and the FAQ but I haven't found anything applying particularly to my issue/question, though, and I'm hoping some of you can help me understand what is going on. .
I have read about LR changing the colorcast on import, however in my case the images look fine after importing and processing. When I click BACK to an image that I have already processed, I am seeing LR 2.3 apply a green tint to it, and I have no idea why.
What I am doing:
-Import Canon RAW files into LR collection (images look fine, no abnormal colorcast)
Develop tab:
-I can click around the collection and view the images without any colors changing
-Process an image to my heart's content (image color still looks fine)
-Click to the next image and process the next one
-Mouse-over on the previously processed image on the bottom filmstrip, and preview shows up on the Navigator pane (preview looks as the image was edited previously)
-if I click to a previously processed image in the filmstrip, it will load into the center pane
-while the processed image loads here, the green tint gets applied to the image
-Color tint/green saturation has not moved from its previous position (even if it was moved during initial processing)
-In order to correct it, I either have to adjust the color tint slider about 20 points away from green, or dial down the green saturation to compensate.
Once I re-correct the image, I can click back to it again, and the mysterious green tint will no longer re-apply itself on this image.
This happens to most if not all of the images in the collection. I have only processed one other RAW collection in LR, but I did not have this issue.
I dont know what exactly is being changed to result in this green tint applying on its own, so I'm not sure if the adjustments I'm making are correcting it.fully.
I hope I'm detailed enough in explaining what I'm seeing, and that it makes some kind of sense.
Does anyone know what is going on here?
Thank you!

Hi John, thanks for the reply.
Thanks, I'll look into the preferences in LR, although everything has remained mostly in its default settings. I've loaded JPG collections without seeing this either.
Would monitor profiles matter in my case? I ask because I am simply clicking back to a previous picture in the strip. When I leave the picture it looks fine, and returning to it shows that image but with the green tint. I haven't gotten to the point of exporting/converting the image, or anything further.
Some more information if it helps:
Using MS Vista
Using Canon Rebel XTi 400D
I copy only the raw files from the memory card to a folder, and then point the LR Import to that folder.
I will try replicating the issue on another computer in hopes to narrow it down. I am baffled.

Batch Rename Raw Files After Import?

Can you batch rename raw files after you import, so that the file name changes in Aperture and on the hard drive? I want to be able to edit images, and then rename only the keepers. This has been asked before here, but I could not find an answer.
Thanks!

File -> Export, Kind: Original
When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically creates a jepg preview of the file. Why? Because you cannot do anything with a Raw: you cannot print it, use it a slideshow and so on. However, with this preview you can work with the photo immediately.
You can, however, also process the Raw in iPhoto simply by editing it. The Raw processing engine in iPhoto the same one used in Aperture, but with less fine control. (Think of the differences between Word and TextEdit, iMovie and Final Cut). The output from the processing then replaces the preview. You can choose to save your output as either jpeg or tiff in the iPhoto Preferences.
When you are processing Raw in iPhoto you will see the Raw badge on the bottom of the iPhoto Window
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Note: After you have processed a Raw, subsequent edits to the photo are carried out on the processed jpeg (or tiff) not the Raw. If you want to go back to the original then you need to use the Photos -> Reprocess Raw command.
Aperture works in an entirely different way. What are you trying to do, exactly?

IPad iOS 4.3.1 problems with raw images after upgrading

Hi all
I recently updated my iPad to iOS 4.3. Since then, I could not view and edit Raw images imported with camera kit although It shows a low res/ low size preview
I'm also experiencing general troubles with viewing some jpeg attached to email.
Any idea?
Thank you!
Antonio

Actually it does. It imports them And once they Are innate uploaded images can be viewed full screen. But if opened with, say, Photogene, iPad shows only a very small and low res thumbnail....

Editing RAW images after export to JPEG

We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

Not all RAW images are imported

I have CS5 and use a Lumix FZ150. The native format of the RAW images on the camera is RW2. When I try to open these in CS5, some are opened some do not. The pics that open, open in Camera RAW. The others give me an error message, that my camera is not supported?
Any ideas as to what the problem is.

The FZ150 RW2 files should open in ACR 6.5 thru ACR 6.7 for CS5. If you are not use ACR 6.7 you might try that, first, in case there was some issue that was corrected in later versions.
If you are already using that version, then the files may be corrupt. It could be a bad memory card, bad card reader/cable or even a bad hard-drive on the computer. You might try transferring the bad files, again, from the memory card, perhaps using a different method (camera-connected-cable vs card-reader) and see if they work a second time. If not, then the memory card may be bad. If the files transfer ok a second time, then something besides the memory card is bad.
If nothing you do works, then perhaps the camera is writing the files in a different mode that Adobe doesn’t support. I am not familiar with your camera to know what that might be, but some cameras write smaller raw formats or HDR raw formats and maybe Adobe doesn’t decode everything.
If you can’t figure it out, then you can try posting a bad file, here, so others can take a look. The way to do that would be to upload the raw file (or preferably a ZIP of the raw file) to a large-file hosting service like www.dropbox.com or www.skydrive.com or www.wetransfer.com or www.yousendit.com and then post the public download link in a reply, here.

Invisible raw images when importing

I've done some reading of the forum and think I may have a unique problem. After I shoot raw images on my 20D I find that I can import the jpgs directly from the camera but the raw images do not. Any idea why? I can find them using the Canon Viewer utility.

The same problem on Vista x64 & LightRoom 1.1 with Canon EOS 400D. The only way I found is copying CR2 files into temporary folder & import this folder manually.

Separating jpg and raw files after importing in lightroom 5

i would like to separate my jpg and raw files once they are in lightroom (right after importing) so that all my jpgs are 1 after the other on the film strip below and my raw files are one after the other. is this possible?

In Library Grid view, on the Tool Bar (T), change "Sort:" to "File Extension"

Can Not Seem To Edit some Raw images

Hello,
I have I-Hhoto 6 and mostly shoot my images in the RAW format. I recently brought in some images that I shot in B&W and color from my Canon Power Shot Pro 1, well first thing is they all came in as color. But when I go to use the effect to bring it back to B&W that effects button is greyed out. Another roll before and after work fine. But for some reason this paticular roll will not let me use the effects? Can anyone help me... have you run across this your self? Thanks for any help... oh yes also if you know how to bring them in as B&W when importing the first time, that would be helpful too.
Peace,

Another one missing vital information. *sigh*
What version of PS?
Windows or MacOS?
Which version of ACR is installed?
And what means "can't update software to newest version? What software?

How do I find out what filter effect I used on an image after I have saved it?

I used a series of filters that gave an image a very cool painterly - impressionistic painting - quality. I have forgot what steps I took to get that effect. I have tried to go back and look at the image history but that did not tell me anything since I already saved the image. The finished photo looked like swirly painted brush strokes with depth just like you would get if you actually painted it.
I recall an old program like Fractal Painter used to have some filters like that. I don't think Fractal Painter even exists anymore. Does anyone know what I may have done to get that effect or how I can look at the image data to figure out what filters I used?
