Converting raw files into tiffs and preserving the orig. date created

How do I get the original date created to show up in folders when converting raw files into tiffs? Once converted the original date created is in the "file info" window but does not show up as the original date created in the designated folder. It is displayed as the same date as date modified.

Thanks Mylenium
As Mylenium has said, this information can be added later by various means. It will also depend on the software you are using on what date it is reading!
As an example there are:
The files date created
Photoshop schema DateCreated
EXIF schema DateTimeOriginal
XMP schema CreateDate
For an external tool you can use ExifTool http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
or you could try to get a script written in the Photoshop or Bridge scripting forums.

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

How do you convert Raw files into jpeg.

I have never shot in Raw before and I have a huge project due tomorrow. I need help Asap. What is the easiest way to convert Raw files into jpeg, can Light Room convert the files. I have tried so many different ways and nothing seems to work.

It depends on the sofware you have. ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) hosted by Bridge or by Photoshop can convert ("open") raw files, as can Lightroom.
However, not all camera models are supported by all versions of the software. We need to know the make and exact model of the camera that generated the raw files to advice you further.
We can also assist you with the conversion through ACR hosted by Photoshop.
Olease note that there are dedicated forums for Lightroom, for Adobe Camera Raw and for Bridge.
Here's the list of which cameras are supported by each version of ACR. Note that later versions supporte all camera models supported in previous versions of ACR.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
Note that the latest version of ACR to run in CS4 is ACR 5.3;
CS3 runs ACR 4.6;
CS2 runs ACR 3.7;
CS runs 2.4.

Can I export a Flash file to Photoshop and preserve the layer structure?

I like to design some graphics in Flash, just because it's simpler and quicker to do what I'm after sometimes. However, I need Photoshop to add some finishing touches. Therefore I need to export a file from Flash and preserve the layers into Photoshop. I'm hoping that seeing as they are not only both developed by Adobe but also part of the same suite of tools that there must be a way, somehow. Appreciate any help...

I have emailed back the fixed file and Word Export.
You had a return after every single line. That is not necessary, it is a Word Processor and will wrap text as needed. Just hit return for the ends of paragraphs.
You also had extra returns in the Header, I was unsure of what you wanted there so made it double spaced like the rest.
There is an excellent book "The Mac is not a Typewriter" by Robin Williams, not sure if it is still in print but it is a good read.

Converting NEF files into TIFF's

I have a PowerBook G4 OS 10.2 and I am using Photoshop CS and CS2. I shoot a Nikon D2X and the RAW files are called NEF.
In photoshop is there a way to automate converting NEF's into TIFF's without having to do each file manually?

There may be, without using the SDK. Check in the main Photoshop Mac
forum.

How can I convert a feature length HD 25fps .mov file to NTSC and preserve the exact duration?

Hello all
I seem to stumble over a small but significant timeline distortion: I'm trying to convert a full-length feature film file (1:52:07:01) from the source file, which is full HD at 25 fps to .m2v in NTSC for use on DVD. The picture quality is excellent, especially with highest quality settings, but even using Frame Controls, allowing Compressor to choose the ideal frame rate and setting the duration of the target file at 100.000% of the source file, the result has now repeatedly been 7 seconds shorter than the original. (Which, by my estimation, would in fact be about 0.1% out, so more than the tolerance thresold indicated.)
Ordinarily, this might not be a big problem, if it weren't for the fact that the film is subtitled in three languages and this means that from about a third into the film now these subtitles in DVD Studio Pro appear progressively out of synch. (And anyone working with DSP will know how cumbersome shifting subtitle clips is...)
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Sebastian

thanks again russ for your help with this - i've been able to solve the problem. i did try your approach, though for reasons which probably have nothing to do with anything, the export didn't complete and i ended up with a file that suddenly stopped, twenty minutes short of the ending.
in the mean time, though, i rendered both picture and sound out at 100.1% of the source file duration (which is the relative length compressor calculated when i used frame controls to set the output file to precisely the absolute lenght of the source file) and this seems to have worked. i now have an NTSC formatted .m2v and an .ac3 file, which are in synch with each other and with the original time line and therefore with the subtitles.
hope if anyone comes across a similar issue, this may be useful to know.
many thanks & all best

Converting .docx files to .eps and keeping the text editable (not outlines)?

I'm trying to batch convert a number of .docx files that each contain figures that have been created in Word (boxes, lines etc) in Acrobat 9 Pro to .eps.
I can create an .eps, using the document processing (batch processing) route, but when I open the files in Illustrator CS5 all of the editable text in the document has been converted to outlines. Ideally, I want to keep the text in the figure editable (and to create a slightly smaller file size)
I have checked the convert from PDF settings for Encapsulated PostScript and it shows 'Convert Text to Outlines' as false, the transparency settings have also been setup not to convert to outlines), can anyone help?

My thinking behind doing it via Acrobat 9 Pro was that I could take say 20 .docx files and via the document process function automatically convert them straight to .eps without having to make the PDF first. I also find using this route that I have an .eps that is already cropped to the four edges of the images (with no hidden characters making the image frame larger than the actual four edges of the figure).
When I import a PDF into Illustrator, I find that I'm getting the end of paragraph (hidden) markers from Word appearing (normally at the end of the image in Word, and some also appear before the figure where the author has hit return a few times). I then have to manually remove them so that the artboard fits to the four edges of the image. I guess I'm just trying to save a little time without having to go back into 20+ files and tidy them up by removing this character.

Converting a File to PDF and Keeping the Files Original Date

I've got Acrobat Pro XI and I'm using the Action Wizard to covert a folder of TIF files to PDFs. The action works but, I'm needing for the newly created PDF files to have the same date on them as the original files. Can anyone help with this?

You can set the date on the file (not with Acrobat but specialist tools may exist), but the creation date shown in Acrobat properties is stored in the file is defined to be when the PDF was created, not the original file.

Updated Camera list for converting Raw files in PSE7

I am looking to instal an updated CameraRaw.8bi file to accomodate recent cameras.
Camera updated needed for Canon powershot G15.
Regards Daz.

Photoshop Elements 7 supports Adobe Camera Raw from version 4.5 to 5.6 only.
Please refer following document for you reference:
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Canon Powershot G15 starts supported from Adobe Camera Raw version 7.3.
Hereby,raw files from particular camera is not supported in Photoshop Elements 7.0.
However, you can use DNG converter to convert Raw files into DNG and import in CS4 aaplication.
The Digital Negative (DNG) format is Adobe’s proposed standard format for camera raw files. DNG files are useful for archiving camera raw images because they contain the raw camera sensor data and data specifying how the image should look. Camera raw image settings can be stored in DNG files instead of in sidecar XMP files or the camera raw database.
You can download the latest DNG convert from following place:

HT4007 I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using to opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my msc disc??

I have just transferred all my raw, jpeg & tiff files into LR4 and using the opportunity to delete old raw files to free up disc space. How can i completely remove a raw file from my mac disc??

I'd be careful here: LR references files. It can copy them, like from an SD card to your hard drive, but it doesn't necessarily make duplicates. So when you say you "transferred" those files "into" LR it just means you referenced existing files. And if you delete those they're gone, unless you've made copies. LR does not import files by copying them into a managed library like Aperture does.

Copnverting RAW files to TIFF / Tiff to Jpeg etc.

A) Is there a way to convert my RAW files into TIFF or Jpeg in Iphoto? (Right now I have to export them to Elements.)
B) Am I doing any harm to my Iphoto library by re-importing the files that I've converted using Elements?

Hi george1936,
You get a better answer in the iPhoto Forum.

How to import photos from Mail to iPhoto and preserve the date created?

I have several photos sent to me via email attachments in Mail which I want to "add to iphoto." When I do this, the original date of the photo changes to "today's date."
When I drag the photo to the desk top, the file (photo) properties change and the date changes to "today's date."
Is there a way to import photos and preserve the original date the photo was taken? For example, if my family finally got around to sending me photos from 4th of July, I know the date is 7/4/2012, not today's date, 10/9/2012.
I want to avoid the time/work of doing batch changes on countless photos I want to add to iphoto.
iphoto 11
mail 5.3
Lion 10.7.5

Larry, I need more information...
Using what you said, I ran some tests using photos taken with my digital camera in iPhoto. My photos show the following information in the "information" sidebar:
•type of camera
•Flash on
•Format size
•File size (MB)
•File type (jpeg)
•Frame "number"
•Month/day/year/hour/min/sec/AM-PM
Then I tried to email a photo to myself: I have tried: "share," "attach," "drag/drop" a photo into email and sent it to myself as a test. Once the photo arrives in my Mail inbox, I have tried various ways to add this "test" photo into iPhoto:
"Add to iphoto"
"drag into iphoto"
"export into iphoto"
Each time, iphoto created the photo with "today's date." In the past, I would get an alert: Photo already exists in iphoto, do you still want to import? Duplicate or Cancel
Can you elaborate on, "if the photo properties are present and correctly formatted then iPhoto uses them."
When I drag a photo to the desktop and double-click to preview the photo, the top of the preview window says:
P1009.jpg -- locked (gray lettering of the word "locked")
Is there a setting I need to change to "unlock" the properties of my photos?*
Thanks!!
MG
*My original post focuses on importing photos sent from other people. I am hoping if I can solve the matter with my own photos, other photos will import with original dates created, too.
