Can't save my raw file as jpg in editor?

after I'm done working on my raw photo in raw editor, I then go to the "open image" button and work on it in editor.  When I go to save it as a jpg, and close it out and go back to organizer, I get the broken image frame and my picture is gone.  I have 6.5 raw converter and elements 9.  All updates are up to date. I have no clue why I can't save as a jpg after that.  Even my learning DVD says to do it that way.  Anyone have any ideas what I can do?

  If working from raw as 16 bit you need to change to 8 bit to save as jpeg.

  • How can I REPLACE original RAW files with JPG's and keep my 'Develop mode' edits?

    An image describing my problem:
    http://i.imgur.com/hcqMYkv.jpg
    (Lightroom 5)
    'edits' = Edits made in develop mode.
    'CR2' = My RAW image file format.
    I have existing CR2's with edits for them saved in Lightroom.
    I want to replace the CR2's with JPG's, and do nothing else. I want those JPG's to inherit the CR2's edits, but I DO NOT want the edits to be permanently applied to the image.
    If I export the CR2's (which have edits) to JPG's, the edits will be permanently applied to them. I do not want this.
    If I export the CR2's to JPG's without the edits, I have no way of getting the edits back and will have to redo the work if I use that photo again.
    Any solutions? I've been trying for a while and have no idea how to do this.
    Q: Why not keep the CR2's?
    A: I am uploading these files to an online host (S3) as my primary storage method and uploading CR2's takes way too long with my internet speeds. Furthermore, online storage costs money.
    Q: Why not shoot with JPGs instead of shooting raw?
    A: I do my initial edits with the raw files and then archive them as JPG's to save storage space. They won't be raw anymore if I apply future edits, but I still have the option of retouching them from the 'original' state and still have my old edits preserved.

    Probably the best thing for you to do is simply use lossy DNG format (e.g. export as, or convert to..): raw data is re-formatted with jpeg compression (full-rez or reduced-rez), but all raw settings apply.
    If you insist on trying to have a true jpeg file with (mostly) raw settings, then:
    The simplest way I can think of to do it without a script or plugin:
    * Reset the raw photo (consider preserving things that don't translate well, like profile-based lens corrections and white balance).
    * Export jpeg
    * Un-reset the image (e.g. using edit history or pre-reset snapshot).
    * Sync settings from raw to jpeg (note: omit settings that don't transfer well, or that were not reset..).
    * Optionally: Delete raw
    To automate/streamline would require a script or plugin.

  • 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 save adjusted Raw files to Tiff without destruction of original Raw file in Elements 11?

    How can I make available  "Refine edge" when advised in (Elements 11 - Guided - Depth of field - Custom - Blur - that the "Command refine edge is not currently available" ??????

    Looks like you have two qustions:
    1. You can't destroy the original camera raw file because photoshop elements cannot save over the original camera raw file.
        the tiff format is different than the camera raw files from your camera, even though in some ways they are related
    They are camera raw files and not jpegs or tiffs from the camera?
    2. I'd reset the pse 11 preferences and see if that makes a difference for the Guided - Depth of field - Custom - Blur issue
        In the adobe photoshop elements (edit)>Preferences>General click on Reset Preferences on next launch and then restart the pse 11 editor

  • I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

  • Photoshop cc is turning my raw files into jpg after editing

    photoshop is turning my raw files into jpg after editing with out flatten the layers instead of psd files. when I go to save they are jpg. This started 2 days ago - no problems before that

    How are you doing the save?  Just choosing File - Save?
    Photoshop remembers the last "master file" format you saved something in.  If the current document is capable of being saved in that format, it will default to that format for the next save.
    What happens if you do the following:
    1.  Open your raw file, and edit it.
    2.  File - Save As, and in the Save as type field choose Photoshop (*.PSD;*.PDD).
    3.  Complete the save operation.
    I'm betting that will result in your having saved a PSD format file.
    In summary, change your habit to use File - Save As to save your master document and you can't go wrong.

  • Aperture library can't link the RAW files.

    I am pretty much pulling my hair out on this. I setup Aperture so all files are collected and held into the APlibrary files.
    My Aperture library also resigned on an external drive. One day I realized that I needed to reformat the drive so I copied the Aperture Library off onto another drive. When I went to choose the new Library which was the backup, all raw files couldn't be found. At first it was unrecognized file error, and now it just shows the jpg.
    I ran Aperture holding the keycombos to fix permissions, and do a rebuild of the Library. What that did was make it so I wouldn't get an error but it replaced everything with the JPGs and no raw files to be found.
    Next I renamed the aplibrary file to .foo I opened it up as a directory and then started to rename the project folders so I could open those. All of the NEF (RAW) files are there intact which is great, but I need to connect everything so I still have the Raw files with all color adjustments.
    If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great. I don't know what else I can do.
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Can I save a dng file from Photoshop6 to import back into Lightroom 4

    Can I save a dng file from Photoshop6 to import back into Lightroom 4. I don't understand why this is not straight forward.

    Hello!
    The DNG format's goal is to be an universal file formats for camera raw files: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html?promoid=DTEHA
    You can save a DNG from camera raw without a problem.
    Just go the the bottom left hand corner of the interface, and select "save image".
    (as explained here in the help files: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/using/WS91C1E0BD-9600-42b2-8EBE-1E012ED61058. html#WSB0DC278F-B3DF-4a60-88BC-B3D6A852C242 )
    Or are you trying to save an file edited in Photoshop as a DNG?
    For what purpose, exactly? A TIFF, PSD or PSB file can have a raw file, saved as a Smart Object (to allow later reprocessing in Camera Raw) and all the pixel/vector editing layers intact.
    If saved with maximize compatibility, it can be opened in Lightroom for cataloging, and editing, if needed.

  • Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

    why i can't open my raw file?

    You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
    The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.

  • How can I save a PDF file sent to me in an attachment to my iPhone 5s

    How can I save a PDF file or word file sent to me as an attachment directly to my iPhone 5s so if I want to read it I don't have to dig into my ail every time?

    You will need to select the attachment and open in another app.  If you do not have any apps that support PDF, Adobe reader for iOS is free.
    For MS word files, you will need an app that supports those, like Documents to Go. 
    There is not generic file storage area in iOS, so you need to "open in" an app that supports that file type so that app can then add the file to its sandboxed local storage area.
    If you need to markup the PDF, some good apps are GoodReader, iAnnotate, PDF Expert, GoodNotes - there are numerous others as well in the App Store.

  • I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

    I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

    Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
    If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
    Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
    But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?
