Can't locate RAW images in Originals folder

I shoot in RAW+JPEG.
Well, I uploaded two batches of photos (two separate "Events" in iPhoto) a couple of months ago and am now looking to edit them in Lightroom. In iPhoto, these "Events" show both the JPEG and the Nikon RAW image. Each photo is labeled accordingly in the Information box.
However, when I look in the iPhoto Library packages, these two events do not show up in the "Originals" folder. They only show up in the "Modified" folder, and only as JPEGs! Where have my originals gone??
All of my other RAW images are present in the "Originals" folder. It seems as though only my last two uploads are missing.
Help!

What you're viewing in iPhoto are jpgs that iPhoto created for viewing the image. You're not looking at the the raw file itself.
To determine if you have any raw files in your library search in spotlight for the extension of your raw files. Like ".cr2" or whatever it is. If you don't get any hits that will indicate that the raw files have been removed from the hard drive.
Are you using a managed or referenced library?

If you're running a reference library is there any chance it could have been a managed library when the raw files were imported. That would explain having the jpg file for viewing and no raw files.
I would also download and use Find Any File to search for the file extension. FAF can search inside packages and areas of the hard drive that spotlight can't.

  • Can't transfer RAW images from iPhoto to desktop

    Hi,
    I have imported RAW photos from my Canon EOS camera into iPhoto. But when I try to drag them over to a folder on my desktop, they atomatially converts to jpeg. How can I import the RAW images to a folder without converting them to jpeg?

    How can I import the RAW images to a folder
    You mean "export".
    When you import a Raw to iPhoto the app makes a jpeg Preview of the file. When you drag from the iPhoto Window you get that Preview.
    To get the Raw you need to export the Original, so select the Pic(s)
    File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue set the Kind to Original

  • Can't open RAW images in Photoshop

    I purchased a new computer. It runs 64 bits. I have CS4. Since uploading it to my computer, I can not open RAW images. I have downloaded the most recent updates.
    I have been using the 32 bit photoshop because I could not get my NIK filters to work in 64 bit. But I can't open any of my RAW images.  I can't open them in either 32 or 64 bit.
    I have version 5.0.0.178 of Camera Raw.  I only know this because I can see it under "About filer.... Camera Raw".  I cant find any camera raw filters in adobe/plug-ins in either version of photoshop. I have a huge photoshoot tomorrow. I NEED to open RAW images.  HELP!!  Regular Support is down for the next few days.

    If you look at this list: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
    You will see you need Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 or later.
    As Chris says, update either maually from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4681
    Or use the Updater from PS help.

    How can I process Raw Images taken with a Nikon D7000 in PSE Extended?

    Hi there
    Unfortunately, CS4 does not support the Nikon D7000. You'll have to download the Adobe DNG converter (links below) to process RAW files from your camera.
    DNG converter 6.3 - Mac
    DNG converter 6.3 - Windows

  • I'm thinking of buying a new camera. Does anyone know if can I process RAW images from a Nikon D5100 or Nikon D3200 using IPhoto on a OSX 10.5.8?

    I'm thinking of buying a new camera. Does anyone know if can I process RAW images from a Nikon D5100 or Nikon D3200 using IPhoto on a OSX 10.5.8?

    I think you'll note that Google found the list for 10.8, amazing, isn't it
    No, neither are supported for Raw on 10.5.8
    You'll need 10.6.8 minimum for the D5100
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
    and for the D3200 you'll need 10.7.4 plus compatibility update 3.1.3
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
    Bear in  mind that you may also need to update your version of iPhoto too.

  • I downloaded the free trial of Lightroom 5 and love it but I can't export the images to a folder.  Is this because it is a free trial?

    I downloaded the free trial of Lightroom 5 and love it but I can't export the images to a folder.  Is this because it is a free trial?

    Yes, but I don't know enough about iPhoto to understand the consequences of "imported them into iPhoto first". In any event, I do understand the needs of Lightroom, and if the photos have been moved or renamed or deleted (or if the folders that contain them have been moved or renamed or deleted) outside of Lightroom, then this will cause the Lightroom symptoms you describe. You need to reconnect the photos in Lightroom using the instructions I linked to. Either that or move the photos and folders back to where they used to be after you imported them into Lightroom. Nothing else will work.
    In the future, please understand that your photos are never stored in Lightroom; they are stored on your hard disk somewhere and the very simple principle that you need to follow is that Lightroom needs to be informed of where the photos are at all times, using the methods in that link; or better yet by never moving or renaming or deleting the photos (and the folders that contain them) outside of Lightroom.
    As an additional recommendation, the idea of using both iPhoto and Lightroom on the same photos is one that could cause problems, especially for beginners. If you are going to use one of these software, then don't use the other one.

  • Can't open raw images in CS2 after install, can't see thumbnails in Bridge

    I hope you guys can help.
    We just purchased an Acer laptop computer, picked it up yesterday. Hubby is going to use this strictly for working on his pictures when out of town. He didn't even plan to hook it up to the internet. It has Windows Vista Home Premium, 2G of RAM, 120G of hard drive and a CD/DVD player/recorder. I installed Photoshop CS2, Nik Sharpener, Neatimage noise remover and Huey Pro Calibrater onto the computer last night.
    When I opened Photoshop & Bridge, opened a DVD of some RAW images, Bridge would not show the thumbnails and I couldn't open any in Photoshop. In Bridge all that showed was a light blue box with CR2 over it and the file name below for each image. When I tried to open one I got a "Can not complete process due to a program error" message. I did open a jpeg image into Photoshop from the ones included in my documents and had no trouble with that. I didn't acutally try to do anything with it so I'm not sure that any of the options in Photoshop actually work, although they were all active with the jpeg image.
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do to correct these two problems?
    Thanks for any help I can get, Linda

    Thanks John,
    I actually went into Photoshop and ran the update. This gave me the current Camera Raw file 3.7 and an update for Bridge. I downloaded it and it is installed in Photoshop. This gave me thumbnails for the images taken on our Canon Rebel XTI, but not the Canon 30D. I went to the Camera Raw Update page on adobe.com. Found the 30D back in update 3.4. Shouldn't the latest update have all the previous updates included. As I understand the instructions, you are just supposed to replace the older version of Camera Raw with the newer. Will I have to install each update in order to get the support for my camera?
    This leads me to another question, I downloaded the 3.4 and was following the instructions for installing it. It says to go to My Computer, open C, or disk with files installed, then navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS-2\File Formats. My computer wasn't exactly like this, but I did get to the plug-in for Photoshop CS-2. After getting there, move existing Camera Raw.8bi to another location. Copy the Camera Raw Plug-in from the download into the same folder. See why is seems that the current version should have all previous updates?
    Anyway, got to the Plug-in file and there is no Camera Raw file in it. I went through all the files in Adobe Program Files that looked like it might have it in it; bridge, ImageReady, and shared files. No Camera Raw to be found. I did open Photoshop up and double checked that it was showing up in the Plug-in list. Yep, it was there. Why can't I find it in the Program Files?
    Sorry this is so long, I wanted to check everything I could before replying. Sure hope I can get this straightened out. Linda

  • Downloaded Camera Raw update 6.2 but still can't open raw images

    I followed all the steps as indicated on this page: Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.2 update but for some reason I still can't open .CR2 files . My camera (Canon Rebel T3i) is on the list of supported files. What should I do? I'm using Windows and I have Photoshop elements 8.0.

    You need camera raw 6.4 for your camera. It is mot compatible with PSE8. You need to upgrade to PSE13. 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 PSE8 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Backing up raw images to a folder/s

    How can I backup all of my raw images so that they can be accessed/viewed by other programs.

    How can I backup all of my raw images so that they can be accessed/viewed by other programs.
    Do you want primarily a backup, or do you want primarily access to your files in the Aperture library?
    If you only want access, then other applications can use the Media Browser - but this will not give access to the raw, only to the previews.
    Are all your images raw, or only some and you only want to backup the raw?
    To backup the raw images you already imported, select all images with raw originals in the browser and use "File > Export > Originals" to export them to a backup location. In the export panel you can select a subfolder format and a naming scheme, to organize the exported files.
    To backup new masters, set a backup location in the export settings. This way Aperture will write the originals to the backup location, directly when importing.
    But a backup should be on a different drive than original images to protect against drive failures. Otherwise your backup will be also destroyed, when your drive fails. So you will have to connect an external drive, if you want to use the backup to give other programs access to the backup.

  • Can't move Raw images in Lightroom 4

    Hi all,
    I've watched all of the tutorials and read all I can to get to the bottom of this to no avail. I understand that I need to use the foilders panel in the library module to move photos, my problem is that the folder module does not show any destination folders at all!
    When I import my images I create a job and place the images in a subfolder named Raw Files eg.  2013 Jobs > 075 Robert and Jess E-Shoot > Raw Files
    This way all of my images are in a folder that is job related. Occasionally, however, I will forget to change the import folder when importing the Raws, and the images for the next job will go into the Raw folder for the previous job. I'd like to be able to move the raw images to the correct folder, but in the folder panel the only path showing is the path I've imported to.
    In the case above, my 2013 Jobs file should show 75 subfolders of individual jobs, but there is only one showing. I need to be able to see the destination folder in lightroom to move the Raws to their proper home. As I can't see the destination folder I can't move any files, and I end up having to try to work it out in the operating system.
    Can anyone tell me how to get all of the subfolders to show?
    Thanks, Antony

    Create the folder here:
    Then you can move your files to it.

  • Can't locate 1270 images just imported!

    I just downloaded 1270 images from my Canon digital camera via a cable.  I imported them into iPhoto, which took a while.  When the import completed, it asked me if I wanted to save the images on the camera or delete them from the camera.  I chose to delete them.  After that step, iPhoto automatically sorted the imported images by date.  I viewed several of the newly imported photos to be sure things were all there, & it appeared to be functioning normally.  Then I closed the app, closed all open apps, disconnected the camera cable & shut down my Macbook.
    The next day I started my Macbook & opened iPhoto so that I could edit my newly imported photos.  However, there were no new images!  In "Events" where the images had been automatically sorted the night before, there were dates shown with a palm tree icon, but there were no photos for those dates.  When I went to "Last Import", the photos shown were from the import prior to the 1270 images.  I can't figure out where all of my new photos went!  PLEASE HELP ME FIND THEM!!!!!

    If you're unable to locate the photos in your library  you can try using a image file recovery app to recover the video files from your camera's memory card.  I've used  MediaRECOVER successfully a couple of time.  You can run it in demo mode to make sure it can recover the files you need before you purchase it.
    In the future never let  iPhoto delete from the camera.  Always check the library carefully, i.e. closing and opening to verify that the files are safely in the library before deleting from the camera.  It's safer to have the camera reformat the memory card than let iPhoto do the deletion.
    Another workflow one might follow is to use a card reader to upload the files to a folder on the Desktop to assure the files are safely on the hard drive.  Then import into iPhoto and verify a successful import.  Then delete the folder from the desktop and reformat the memory card with the camera.
