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

How can I transfer RAW photos from iphoto to a separate folder. I want to send RAW photos to someone to process.

Hello I use iphoto as my place of storage of my photos.
I want to take some of my RAW photos out of iphoto and plac e them in a different folder to " send" to someone who wants to " edit".
I am not the one who will process the RAW i just want to get the RAW to the person that needs them. But my RAW are in iphoto
It seems that if i just drag a RAW picture from iphoto to dektop it does not retain its RAW size.
please advise
I just want to be able to send RAW photos that i have in iphoto to someone who will edit them.

Where are my raw photos and how do I get to them (if anyone knows please explain in very simple terms).
File -> New Smart Folder
Photo -> is -> Raw
will find all your Raws.
As described above, exporting with the Kind set to Original will get them to the Finder.
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.

HT5182 How can I convert Raw images from iphoto to jpg for the web?

I have some pictures in Raw mode stored in my Iphoto that I need to convert in JPG for the web and to print in business cards, I have been going around e-mailing the pictures to myself in large or medium size and then saving them again to my iphoto. Is there a way to do this from iphoto directly?

Are your pictures on your iMac or on an IOS device?
On your iMac use "File > Export " set the jpeg quality and size you want:

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

Bear in mind that you may also need to update your version of iPhoto too.

How can I transfer my photobooks from iphoto 08 on osx 10.5.8 to iphoto 11 on macbook osx 10.8.1 without loosing layout?

How can I transfer my photobooks from iphoto 08 on osx 10.5.8 to iphoto 11 on macbook osx 10.8.1 without loosing layout? I prepared 3 books in iphoto 08 and wanted to order them yesterday. I got the message, that this version is not supported anymore. I also have a macbook osx 10.8.1. However I did not manage to transfer the books to it. What can I do? I really would not like to recreate the books from scratch in th new version.

You will have to convert your 08 library to iPhoto 11 by copying the library to your Macbook and opening it with iPhoto 11.
However, check to see if the theme you're using in 08 is available in 11. If it isn't you'll probably lose the book or be assigned to some other theme.
If the theme you've chosen isn't available in 11 find one that is available in both versions and convert to it in the 08 library before you move it to 11.

How to transfer RAW files from iPhoto to lightroom without converting them to jpeg

When I transfer RAW image file from iPhoto to my lightroom library they appear as jpeg files, how do I transfer them as RAW?

Are you having a problem? What have you tried? Do you have Apple's camera connection kit?
With the CCK, you can connect the camera or the camera's SD card.

How do I Export Raw images from Iphoto to Adobe Photo Elements 4

I recently purchased Photo elements 4 because I could import images from Iphoto in Raw format and work with them. Everything I have read and the instructional video sent to me by Adobe make it look and sound very easy but so far I have had no success.
I have been able to open Bridge and view photos from Iphoto so it seems to me that everything that I have in Iphoto is automatically transfered to Elements 4. However I can not find my Raw images. What am I doing wrong or failing to do and is there some logical sequence that I have to follow to import Raw images.
I am using a Nikon D200 and just to be safe I have been shooting so the images are saved both in JPEG and RAW.
Thanks for any help you can provide

dakota8,
iPhoto and Adobe Bridge are incompatible, so you need to decide which one you want to use (for which photos). iPhoto is a database, with many flexible features for organizing your library and finding your photos. Bridge is a file browser with some organizing capabilities. You absolutely should not use Bridge or any other application (Finder included) to browse the files inside your iPhoto Library folder, as it will damage the iPhoto database. To verify, click on iPhoto's Help and read the section "About using the iPhoto Library."
If you want to keep your RAW files in iPhoto, then you'll need to open them from iPhoto. As Dave E said, this can be done by setting the iPhoto pref to export RAW files. You also need to set PE 4 as the external editor in iPhoto's preferences. With this setup, you can select photos using iPhoto, open the RAW files into PE 4, then edit. Now comes the wrinkle in the workflow. Normally, you would do a Save to cause your edited file to be saved back into the iPhoto library. This Save, not Save As, requires that the filename and extension stay the same. Works great with jpeg files. However, once you edit the RAW, the extension (and file format) must change. Save will not work, because any save at this point is treated like a Save As. So you have to Save As to a folder OUTside of your iPhoto Library, and then import it in as a new file. There will be no link between the edited version and its unedited RAW file. You could organize inside iPhoto to display the edited file beside its original RAW, or keep separate rolls for the originals and edits.
With that in mind, you might not want to save the RAW files in iPhoto at all. You could create your own filing system for them, which you would browse using Bridge. Upload using Image Capture to save your files to a folder of your choice. Once you edit the RAW files and save as another format, you could them import into iPhoto for cataloging or further editing. You'll just have to find the system that works best for you.
BTW, don't save your edited RAW files as Adobe RAW. I tried and discovered that iPhoto refuses to import them at all.
I have been able to open Bridge and view photos from Iphoto so it seems to me that everything that I have in Iphoto is automatically transfered to Elements 4.
There's no transferring involved at all. Bridge is rooting directly inside the iPhoto Library folder. Did I mention that it's best to avoid this?
However I can not find my Raw images.
When you import a file it is saved into the Originals folder. Your RAW files are there, along with any video clips you may have imported.
iPhoto automatically creates a jpeg version of your RAW files and stores it in the Modified folder. It has to do this in order to display the picture on your screen. With video clips, a jpeg of the first frame is created for display purposes.
I am using a Nikon D200 and just to be safe I have been shooting so the images are saved both in JPEG and RAW.
If you import both versions into iPhoto, then you have
Originals - RAW
Modified - jpeg
Originals - jpeg
(Modified - jpeg - if you edit the jpeg version or if they are auto-rotated to portrait orientation)
I don't shoot in RAW, so I can't really comment about which workflow would be the most efficient. I just played with it long enough to realize that there is no easy way to do it.
Regards.

Importing RAW images from iPhoto to Elements 8

I just successfully downloaded Elements 8 (the free trial version). I have an iMac, and until now have used iPhoto for all of my photo file storage and editing needs.
I need to import some of my original RAW files from iPhoto into Elements 8. How is this accomplished?
I got the images I wanted into Elements 8 by selecting all the images I wanted to import, then dragging and dropping. The result? The images all got imported into Elements 8, but they are showing up there as jPegs.
The images were originally brought into iPhoto as RAW files, and I never converted them into jPegs, so they should still be RAW files in iPhoto. Why, then, do they show up in Elements 8 as jPegs? And how do I import directly from iPhoto into Elements 8 and keep the images being imported as RAW files?
Any insights/help would be greatly appreciated.

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.
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 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 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
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

Can I download raw images from my Panasonic Lumix DMC - FZ45 to my iMac using Aperture3 ?

I want to start using Aperture3 as long as I can handle Raw images from my Panasonic DMC-FZ45 with it but that camera is not on the list - will it work?

If the camera is not on the list then Aperture will not be able to handle the RAW images from the camera.
It's surprising as this is a relatively old camera, so if it's not in Aperture by now I would tend to think it won't be included. You could download the trial version and see what happens just to make sure.
One other thing, you could convert the RAW images to DNG using the Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter for Macintosh and then import those.

Can I transfer an image from Dashboard to iPhoto or my desktop?

I am trying to save an image from Safari to either iPhoto or my desktop, but when I right-click on the image, the only option I have for saving is to Dashboard. I've tried dragging the image from the web page to the desktop, but it won't drag. Anyway, I have the image on Dashboard, and I'm wondering if there is a way for me to transfer it from Dashboard to either iPhoto or my desktop. I'm using 10.6.8 right now.
Thanks!

There's a free image editor, Xee that will do the reversal and do lossless rotations also.

Can't open Raw images from Nikon D3200

I can not open RAW files taken on Nikon 3200
HW & SW: Nikon 3200: Apple MacBook Pro OS v. 10.8.5, Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, Adobe Lightroom 5, Adobe DNG Converter
I had a Nikon D60 and used a removable card to store images. No problem.
One week ago, I bought a Nikon D3200 and still use the same memory cards I had used with the D60.
I have taken about 100 pictures in Aperture, Shutter and Automatic mode, all in RAW format.
Am using Nikon Transfer to import the images from the card to the MacBook.
Photoshop will open JPEG images captured from the D3200 in the JPEG format, but not those captured in RAW format.
I can preview the images on the D3200, but when I download to the Mac, the images do not open in Photoshop Elements 11, or in Adobe DNG 8.2, or in Adobe Lightroom 5.
Photoshop failure message is: “Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.”
DNG Converter failure message is: “The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files.”
Adobe Lightroom failure message is: “The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom.”
I have downloaded most recent versions of Adobe Camera Raw and Adobe DNG. I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. When I try to open or import the images, the same failure messages occur.
So far Adobe products are failing and am hoping there is a solution.

For pse 8/LR 3 you would need the 8.3 Dng Converter to convert yout Nikon D3200
files to dng copies that can be open/inported by pse 8 or LR3
Since the camera raw version required is 7.1/LR4.1 or later and pse 8 (only up to camera raw 6.2) can't use that camera raw version, the dng converter is needed.

Just purchased Elements12, can't download Raw images from SD card from new Panasonic Lumix DMC-Gx7. CF card from Canon 5D works fine. I understand I have to upgrade camera raw, does anyone know how to do this and where to fine it. Please and thank you..

Can you please tell us which operating system you are running on and details of the camera producing the raw images (Make & Model).
Each different camera model has it's own unique format of the raw file and so the camera raw has to be updated occasionally. Gives us the details above and we can help you further.
I'm new with windows 8 and brand new computer

FWIW, my Help/Updates does not work. My ACR is 8.0 and each time that ACR has been updated during the last year I have tried to update it through Help/Updates and each time I have received in the Application Manager window that opens the text, "Your applications are all up to date." I suppose it is possible that the fact that I have an updated copy of LIghtroom (5.6) is confusing the Application Manager.
Because I do all my Raw processing in LR it does not really bother me that the PSE 12 ACR plugin does not update.
